What you’re looking at

This cartoon depicts two men in business attire engaged in what appears to be a serious or heated conversation in an ornate interior setting. Based on the title "Working Overtime," the satire likely comments on labor practices or workplace excess during the industrial era when *Life* was prominent. The exaggerated facial expressions and body language suggest tension or disagreement between the figures—possibly depicting a boss/worker dynamic or a business dispute. The formal clothing and decorated interior suggest these are men of some social standing, making the cartoon's point likely a critique of wealthy businessmen or executives and their labor practices. Without additional context or visible publication date, the specific historical reference remains unclear, though the style suggests late 19th or early 20th century.
