# Judge's Camera Contest This page presents satirical cartoons mocking people who submit photos to a magazine camera contest, likely Judge's own competition. The top left cartoon ridicules Mr. Heywood Broux, who supposedly submitted a photo of his "newly perfected mangling and wrinkling machine"—a mundane domestic device he mistakenly believed worthy of publication. The upper right shows officers with a confessed slayer who was "unable to re-enact the crime" due to stage fright—mocking both criminal absurdity and theatrical pretense. The bottom cartoons feature Patterson Deluge, a civil engineer who photographed what he thought was a "beautifully constructed concrete gun base," only to have a French officer explain it was actually a large bird bath—humor derived from oblivious misidentification and professional embarrassment.
