What you’re looking at

This appears to be a satirical cartoon from *Judge* magazine depicting a chaotic scene with multiple figures being chased or attacked by what looks like insects or wasps. The title "Making Things Hot for Them" suggests consequences or retribution. The partially visible moral ("Little boys should never...") indicates this is likely a cautionary tale about misbehavior. The exaggerated expressions and caricatured faces of the fleeing figures convey panic and discomfort—"things being hot" for them literally shown through their distress. Without seeing the complete caption or having full context about the historical moment, the exact political or social reference remains unclear. However, the format suggests it's either satirizing specific contemporary figures or illustrating a moral lesson through humorous exaggeration, typical of *Judge's* satirical approach during the late 19th/early 20th century.
