# "Judge" Page: "Judge" and "Pete" Comics This page contains two comic strips by C.D. Russell satirizing urban social dynamics, likely from the early 20th century. **"Judge"** (top): Shows wealthy diners at an upscale restaurant observing homeless or poor people outside windows. The satire contrasts comfortable, well-fed patrons with hungry outsiders—commenting on economic inequality and indifference of the wealthy. **"Pete"** (bottom): Depicts what appears to be vagrants or homeless men gambling or socializing in alleyways and street corners, shown in increasingly chaotic scenes. The strip likely satirizes urban poverty, street life, or criminal underworld activity. Both strips use exaggerated caricature typical of Judge's satirical style, critiquing either class disparities or social problems of urban America. The exact historical moment remains unclear without publication date context.
