What you’re looking at

This page contains political commentary and satirical notes rather than a single cartoon. The main illustration depicts a religious scene with figures in robes, labeled "NOT HER HECK," apparently satirizing religious authority or hypocrisy. The text includes multiple brief political jabs: criticism of President Cleveland's civil service examination for mugwump endorsement; mockery of a Western senator who carries a napkin in his coat pocket; and commentary on Governor Hill's approval of a bill regarding "piscatorial experiments" (fishing). There's also social satire about college women's swimming costumes and references to various public figures including Frank James. The overall tone is acerbic commentary on contemporary politicians, social customs, and public figures, typical of Judge's satirical mission during this era (appears to be 1880s-90s based on references).
