What you’re looking at

This is a single satirical cartoon from *Judge* magazine depicting a scene at a dining table. A seated, portly gentleman in formal attire appears to be a person of authority or wealth, while a younger man stands nearby. On the table are a wine bottle, plate, and what appears to be a document labeled "BONUS." The caption reads: "Don't be a tightwad, Sam." The cartoon satirizes stingy behavior regarding bonuses or financial rewards. The younger figure seems to be requesting or expecting more generous compensation, while the older man resists. Without additional context about the specific historical moment, the identities of "Sam" and the other figure remain unclear, though the cartoon critiques miserliness toward subordinates or employees during what was likely a period of labor tensions or wage disputes.
