# "Wild and Woolly" — Judge Magazine, May 3, 1924 This cartoon depicts a grotesquely exaggerated figure with animalistic features—wild hair, prominent teeth, and unkempt appearance—being ejected or expelled forcefully. The title "Wild and Woolly" suggests untamed, rough behavior. Without additional context from the magazine's other content or contemporary events, I cannot definitively identify which specific political figure or social group this caricature targets. However, the style is consistent with 1920s satirical commentary on immigration, labor radicalism, or criminal elements portrayed as "dangerous outsiders" needing expulsion. The exaggerated, dehumanizing features reflect common propaganda tactics of the era. The exact referent—whether a specific person, ideology, or group—remains unclear without supporting text from the issue.
