# "Judge" Comic: "Judge" and "Pete" This two-panel comic strip satirizes the 1919 World Series between the Athletics and Cardinals (visible on a sign in the middle panel). The top strip titled "JUDGE" shows a character enthusiastically celebrating ("Yeah! Hooray!") while running and jumping. The bottom strip "PETE" depicts the same or similar character experiencing increasingly chaotic consequences—being knocked around, falling, and ending with explosive results. The satire appears to mock overzealous sports fans whose exuberant celebrations at a World Series game lead to physical mishaps and embarrassment. It's a humorous commentary on fan behavior during major sporting events, showing how enthusiasm can spiral into comic disaster.
