What you’re looking at
This cartoon by Flohr depicts a character in military uniform standing outside what appears to be a government building (marked "23"). The figure displays exaggerated facial features typical of early 20th-century caricature style. The incomplete caption "I WISH I" suggests the cartoon comments on unfulfilled desires or regrets, likely regarding military or political matters. The military dress and the building setting suggest commentary on war, policy, or government action. Without the complete caption text, the specific target of satire remains unclear—it could reference a military leader's wishes, wartime decisions, or political aspirations. The "wistful" tone indicates ironic or critical commentary on someone's stated or implied desires, typical of Judge magazine's satirical approach to contemporary political issues.
