What you’re looking at

This cartoon by W.S. Enright depicts a man in an apron wielding a large baseball bat against what appears to be a hornet's nest labeled "INVESTIGATIONS" with a bomb or explosive device labeled "RUIN" nearby. A small figure runs in the background, and crowds are visible. The satire likely comments on someone (identity unclear without additional context) attempting to suppress or violently counter government investigations—"batting them up" rather than cooperating. The hornet's nest and "ruin" imagery suggest such aggressive resistance will backfire dangerously. The cartoon appears critical of obstruction tactics, portraying them as reckless rather than protective. The specific investigation and figure remain uncertain without Judge magazine's date and accompanying text.
