What you’re looking at

This appears to be a comic strip following a character named "Nevvy Nat" (likely a nephew character) on a railroad sleeping car. The humor involves typical late-19th/early-20th century train travel mishaps: Nat attempts to rent a berth, encounters a porter, and experiences various comedic misadventures in the confined space—including apparently encountering another passenger and dealing with bedding/curtains. The satire targets the indignities and confusion of railroad sleeping accommodations: the porter's demands, cramped quarters, and awkward encounters with fellow travelers. The humor relies on physical comedy and dialogue showing the passenger's frustration with both the porter's attitudes and the car's tight conditions—reflecting contemporary social anxieties about modern transportation and class interactions between passengers and service workers.
