What you’re looking at

This satirical cartoon by S. Werner depicts what appears to be a commentary on Native American stereotypes and treatment. The left figure wears exaggerated "Indian" costume with a feathered headdress and holds a tomahawk, while the right figure is a woman holding a doll and toy gun. A small dog stands between them. The caption "Another Indian Outrage" suggests the cartoon is satirizing sensationalized newspaper coverage of Native Americans, likely referencing conflicts or incidents portrayed as "outrages" in contemporary media. The juxtaposition of the caricatured "Indian" with domestic figures (woman, child's toys, pet) appears to mock either the absurdity of such coverage or prevailing racial anxieties of the era. The exact referenced incident remains unclear without additional context.
