What you’re looking at
This is a slapstick comedy strip featuring cartoon animals (a dog and what appears to be a hare or rabbit) engaged in a chase and hunting scenario. The humor relies on physical comedy and role-reversals: the hunter becomes hunted, characters struggle with contradictory tasks (can't both bark and watch), and absurd situations escalate. The title references a literal chase. The strip's jokes are domestic and situational—miscommunication, failed plans, and comedic violence—rather than political satire. This appears to be light entertainment filler content typical of Judge magazine's humor pages, drawn by "Zim" (visible signature). The note about "Charlie" encountering elephants next week suggests this was serialized entertainment for general audiences, likely from the 1920s-1930s era based on style and printing.
