What you’re looking at

# Analysis This is a comic strip titled "Judge" and "Pete" (credited to C.D. Russell) depicting a character repeatedly attempting to store furs and winter clothing for summer. The strip shows Pete visiting what appears to be a storage facility or business, presenting garments to be stored, and then retrieving them—with the joke escalating through repeated panels showing increasingly frantic or comedic interactions. The satire targets the seasonal storage industry and likely the expense or inconvenience of such services. The sign in the top panel reading "STORE YOUR FURS AND WINTER RAGS FOR SUMMER" suggests this mocks commercial practices of convincing consumers to pay for storage solutions. The humor derives from Pete's persistent efforts and the business's responses across multiple visits.
