What you’re looking at

This satirical cartoon depicts what appears to be a violent confrontation or uprising. The composition shows figures lying on the ground in distress, while others stand or gesture above them in chaotic activity. A demonic or devilish figure holds a flag in the center-right, suggesting evil intent or malevolent ideology driving events. The caption "'Not you be good?'" implies moral criticism—the cartoon likely satirizes a political movement or group the magazine opposed, suggesting their actions are inherently immoral rather than justified. Without the publication date visible, the specific historical reference remains unclear. However, Judge magazine's typical targets included labor movements, anarchists, socialists, or other perceived threats to social order. The demonic imagery was common iconography used to demonize such groups in late 19th/early 20th-century American political cartooning.
