# "Judge" - "Pete" Comic Strip Analysis This is a multi-panel comic strip titled "Pete" signed by C.D. Russell. It depicts a man in formal attire (top hat and coat) repeatedly encountering and being chased or attacked by a small dog in a residential courtyard setting with white picket fences. The humor appears to be slapstick: the formally-dressed gentleman experiences escalating physical comedy—the dog nips at him, tangles him in its leash, causes him to fall, and generally harasses him throughout the sequence. The contrast between his dignified appearance and his undignified treatment by the small dog drives the joke. Without additional context, the figure's identity is unclear—this may reference a specific public figure of the era, or it could be pure comedic scenario.
