# "Judge" - "Judge Pete" Comic Strip This is a multi-panel comic strip by C.D. Russell titled "Judge Pete." The protagonist appears to be a judge or authority figure in dark robes who encounters various street situations. The narrative follows Pete as he confronts what looks like vagrants or street people advertising "Eat at Ogey's" (possibly a cheap restaurant). In subsequent panels, Pete becomes increasingly frustrated with the advertisements and street hustlers, eventually escalating to physical confrontation and destruction of the signs. The satire likely mocks either overzealous municipal enforcement against street vendors, or conversely, Pete's disproportionate judicial/authoritarian response to minor street commerce. Without knowing Judge magazine's specific political stance or the publication date, the exact target of ridicule—whether Pete or the street vendors—remains somewhat unclear.
