EDITORS COMMENTS
Me and Jack: The Yellow Dog and the Corrupt Businessman, 1906 - A Classic Puck Magazine Illustration This illustration, titled "Me and Jack," was published in Puck Magazine on March 28, 1906. The image, created by an unknown artist, depicts a large, yellow dog named The Yellow Dog, sitting on a plank on the shore of a body of water. The dog's left foreleg is wrapped around the shoulders of a much smaller man, labeled "Corrupt Business." The dog's head is turned to the left in profile, as he looks back at the viewer with a knowing expression. In the early 1900s, the term "yellow dog funds" was used in the insurance industry to refer to secret accounts of monies used for illegal purposes. This illustration is a clever representation of the corrupt businessman being held accountable by the watchful and powerful Yellow Dog. The dog's yellow color symbolizes the illicit nature of the funds, while the man's small stature emphasizes his dishonesty and vulnerability. This cartoon, published over a century ago, continues to resonate with modern audiences due to its timeless commentary on the power of accountability and the consequences of corruption. The image remains a powerful reminder of the importance of transparency and ethical business practices, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical illustrations or cartoons.
