What you’re looking at

This is a political cartoon by Mark Bandiera (signature visible) depicting what appears to be angels or heavenly figures at a gate—likely representing the Gates of Heaven or a similar celestial entrance. The figures on the left appear surprised or scandalized by something being whispered to them from the right side. On the right, there's a reference to "VOTES FOR WOMEN," suggesting this cartoon satirizes the women's suffrage movement. The joke appears to mock the idea that women's voting rights would be shocking or scandalous news even in heaven—treating suffrage as something so radical or controversial that it would cause consternation among celestial beings. The caption "'Twas Whispered in Heaven" (text partially obscured) completes the joke, though the full context is cut off.
