What you’re looking at

This three-panel comic satirizes three distinct social types through exaggerated caricature: **Panel 1** depicts a "Stranger" consulting with what appears to be a charlatan or quack doctor about a "sick hyena" suffering from "hydrophobia" — likely mocking both fraudulent medical practitioners and gullible clients. **Panel 2** shows a funeral scene where mourners gather at graves marked "In Memory" while a gentleman in a top hat conducts proceedings — seemingly satirizing excessive funeral pageantry or insincere mourning rituals. **Panel 3** returns to domestic life, with two women discussing a "worrying" scheme, apparently mocking housewives' gossip and their tendency to catastrophize minor domestic concerns. The overall title "Three of a Kind" suggests these represent three archetypal con artists, charlatans, or foolish types inhabiting American society.
