What you’re looking at
This satirical cartoon depicts a chaotic indoor scene with multiple small figures engaged in a physical struggle or fight. The title's reference to "midgets" suggests the cartoon is mocking political figures or groups as diminutive or insignificant, reducing them to absurdity through exaggeration. The scene shows figures labeled "SISSIES" grappling near a doorway, with what appears to be furniture and household items. The composition satirizes petty political conflict—likely referencing a specific contemporary political dispute that Judge magazine deemed trivial or undignified. Without clear identification of the specific figures or historical context visible in the image, the general point appears to be mockery of politicians engaged in undignified, pointless struggle over minor matters.
