Judge Rummy is a fictional dog appearing in comic strips created by Tad Dorgan. Besides comic strips, the character also appears in short animated films.

Fictional biography

Alexander Rumhauser,[1] better known as Judge Rummy, works as a court judge as his monicker implies. However, he is often seen doing other things like drinking alcohol, and having affairs with women despite being married.

His wife is an obese lady who is four times his size. Whenever Judge Rummy dates a woman other than her or does something she finds unfavorable, the hefty wife would resort to brawling and roughing him up.

Judge Rummy's best friend is a look-alike dog named Silk Hat Harry. Both dogs share similar interests in drinking booze and pursuing ladies.

In film

Judge Rummy also appears in short films created by the International Film Service and Bray Productions from 1918 to 1922.
