# "The Tired Pup" Cartoon Analysis This page from *Judge* magazine contains a single cartoon titled "The Tired Pup—I Wish That Fellow Would Come!" drawn by P.D. Johnson. The image shows a weary dog lying on a living room floor while a woman sits nearby holding what appears to be a small puppy or toy. The joke likely plays on the dog's exhaustion and longing for the mailman or another regular visitor—a common trope in early 20th-century humor. The dog's tired expression suggests it has been worn out by the day's activities and ironically wishes for the person responsible for its fatigue to return, possibly for companionship or routine. The surrounding text includes math word problems and brief comic anecdotes typical of *Judge*'s humor format, focused on everyday domestic situations and wordplay rather than explicit political satire.
