The main cartoon depicts a tavern scene titled "It Succeeded; Or, Perversity Exemplified." A bartender serves a customer who requests "fresh" beer, claiming his physician won't allow him to drink the usual beer. The bartender responds with apparent skepticism about the freshness claim. The satire appears to target hypocrisy around Prohibition or temperance reform—the customer seeks a loophole (claiming medical necessity for "fresh" beer) while the bartender recognizes this as transparent rationalization. The joke relies on readers understanding that "fresh" beer was a common excuse to circumvent alcohol restrictions. The surrounding text discusses Colonel Fred and Democratic politics, though specific figures remain unclear without additional context.
