What you’re looking at

This political cartoon depicts an ornate government building (likely Capitol or similar) with elaborate architectural details. A figure in the center, labeled "NOT AT HOME THIS YEAR," appears to be refusing entry or hiding from something outside. The caption "NOT IN IT HIS" (partially visible) suggests commentary on someone's absence or refusal to participate. Without clearer text or date information, the exact political reference remains uncertain. However, the style suggests early-to-mid 20th century American politics. The elaborate gates and "not at home" message likely satirize a political figure's avoidance of responsibility or public engagement during a particular election cycle or controversy. The ornate architecture emphasizes the formal, prestigious nature of the position being avoided.
