What you’re looking at

This page from *Judge* magazine appears to be a multi-panel satirical comic about occupational and class dynamics. The top panel, captioned "Othello's occupation gone," shows a man climbing a ladder while another man below gestures in frustration—likely referencing job displacement or lost employment. The middle panel, "'Me makes muchee bill likee Mexican plumber,'" depicts a figure working with plumbing tools, apparently satirizing immigrant workers or ethnic stereotypes in the trades. The bottom panel, "Turning the tables," shows what appears to be a violent confrontation, suggesting role reversal or social upheaval. The visible text fragments ("A new comer," "THE BLOATED," "THE COMING") suggest larger themes about immigration, economic competition, or social change, though without full context or dates, the specific political reference remains unclear.
