Judge #2580
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Painting Slaps Patron," a 1931 gem from Judge, C. D. Russell crafts a delightfully absurd slice of early comic strip humor, with all art and writing by the creator himself. When Pete takes on the task of watering an elephant, his frustration with the endless bucket runs leads to a moment of unexpected relief—only to set off a chain of events that’s as funny as it is peculiar. The cover, by Ed Graham, captures the scene’s chaotic charm with sharp, expressive lines.
In "Watering Elephant," Pete tries to make life easier by bringing the elephant to the water pump instead of lugging buckets back and forth—only to find his shortcut comes with its own kind of trouble. A simple task turns into a comically messy situation, all in the timeless humor of early 1931's Judge.
