# "The Fall Guy" - Judge Magazine Comic This is a silent comic strip depicting a man in formal attire (top hat and coat) visiting apartment 225 multiple times. The sequence shows him: 1. Arriving at the door with various items 2. Slipping and falling on the floor 3. Being thrown out violently 4. Gradually being ejected with increasing force The final panels show him departing with a "Thank you" sign, appearing grateful despite the rough treatment. The satire appears to target either a specific social type or political figure being repeatedly humiliated or rejected. "Fall guy" refers to someone made a scapegoat. Without additional context about Judge's publication date or contemporary events, the specific target remains unclear, though the visual joke emphasizes slapstick consequence for persistent unwanted visits.
