What you’re looking at

This illustration depicts two figures emerging from what appears to be a tunnel or archway in a stone fortification. The caption "ON TIME" suggests the cartoon comments on punctuality or reliability in meeting an obligation or deadline. The setting—medieval or fortress-like architecture with armed sentries visible—suggests a military or wartime context. The figures' clothing and the overall composition indicate this is likely satirizing some contemporary political or social situation where timeliness was at issue, possibly related to military commitments, treaty obligations, or political promises. Without additional context or a visible date on this page, I cannot definitively identify which specific event or figures are being referenced. The artwork style and setting suggest early-to-mid 20th century publication.
