What you’re looking at

This Judge magazine cartoon appears to satirize food distribution or wealth inequality. The scene shows multiple figures in period dress (appearing to be late 19th century) gathered around what seems to be a dispute over apples. The character labeled "Sammy" declares he'll eat all the apples "by m[yself]" — suggesting selfish monopolization of resources. The other figures' expressions of concern or protest suggest social commentary on inequality or unfair hoarding of goods. The elaborate dress and exaggerated facial features typical of Judge's satirical style indicate these are caricatured social types or classes. The specific political reference remains unclear without publication date context, but the cartoon likely critiques either economic greed, labor disputes, or class conflict over basic resources — common Judge subjects of that era.
