What you’re looking at

This Judge magazine cartoon depicts **Uncle Sam** (representing the U.S. government) scolding a caricatured figure in glasses riding a tricycle near the White House. The figure appears to be a political opponent or public figure whom Uncle Sam has warned twice to "keep cut of the grass"—suggesting unwanted interference in government affairs. The sign reading "KEEP OFF THE GRASS" reinforces the message of staying out of restricted space. The giant Uncle Sam wielding a large club/bat represents governmental authority enforcing boundaries. Without the publication date visible, the specific political figure and conflict remain unclear, but the cartoon satirizes a recurring problem: someone persistently violating Uncle Sam's warnings about political interference or trespassing on federal/presidential grounds.
