Comment:	Thanks for this. This comic book has some of the most badly-behaved characters in comics history. "Punch" of Punch and Judy, Fatsy McPig, Earl the Rich Rabbit, and Lockjaw the Alligator are deliberately rude, selfish, greedy, lazy, abusive, destructive, etc. This issue features typical behaviour but you can see the same thing in any other issue of "Punch and Judy" comics. Truly a fascinating case study. Worth a look (and lots of pretty good funny-animal art, too).
