The Wasp — 1918 — page 93: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page appears to be from a narrative or serialized story rather than a political cartoon. It depicts a dramatic moment involving a character named James Burnham who has just witnessed something shocking—described as "the end of it"—that causes him visible distress (cold sweat, withdrawal of gaze). The text provides no clear historical or political reference. Without seeing the preceding pages or knowing the story's context, it's impossible to identify who "the ensign" is or what revelation has occurred. The emotional intensity suggests a climactic moment in whatever plot *The Wasp* was serializing, but the specific satirical or social commentary remains unclear from this excerpt alone.
