What you’re looking at

This Judge magazine cartoon depicts a formal dining scene with satirical commentary on tariff policy. A woman on the left (likely representing a political figure or personified concept) presents a carved bird labeled "TARIFF REVISION" to a man on the right. The phrase "YOU CARVE" suggests she's deferring the difficult decision-making to him. The cartoon appears to mock political procrastination or buck-passing regarding tariff revision—a major early 20th-century policy debate. The formal dinner setting with an attentive audience in the background emphasizes the public nature of the issue. The humor lies in the implication that someone is avoiding responsibility for making unpopular tariff decisions, instead leaving it to another party to "carve" up the controversial legislation.
