What you’re looking at

This satirical cartoon depicts a chaotic hunting scene titled "The Open Season," likely referencing legal prosecution or political attacks. The building resembles a courthouse, with figures hunting other men like game animals. The signpost reading "OPEN SEASON" suggests a period when certain targets became fair game for attack. The cartoon satirizes what appears to be a period of widespread litigation, political persecution, or legal harassment—depicted as hunters pursuing their prey. The frantic activity and multiple pursuers suggest either a legal crackdown affecting many people or a competitive rush to prosecute/attack someone influential. Without additional context about the specific publication date, the exact political target remains unclear, but the imagery effectively mocks the violence of legal or political persecution by literalizing it as a hunting expedition.
