# "Forecast of Pugilistic History for the Next Six Years" This satirical cartoon series predicts boxing match outcomes between Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney, who were prominent heavyweight champions of the 1920s. The three judges repeatedly award victories in alternating fashion: - 1927: Dempsey wins - 1928: Tunney wins - 1929: Draw - 1930: Dempsey wins again - 1931: Tunney wins again - 1932: The prediction absurdly escalates to violence, with a mysterious "Shade of John L. Sullivan" (a legendary boxer) knocking out both men The joke satirizes the intense rivalry and repeated rematches between these fighters, suggesting the cycle would continue indefinitely and ridiculously. It mocks both the fighters' competitive obsession and public fascination with their ongoing feud.
