What you’re looking at

This page appears to be from a serialized narrative rather than a political cartoon. The text describes a character in a "black mood" at a military installation in what seems to be the West Indies, frustrated that his opportunity for advancement may be ruined by "Percy Stanton," described as a "cowardly, pie-faced simpleton." The plot involves officers mocking Percy for being summoned by "the fair Kitty" while he sleeps off the heat. A character named Burnham decides to have Percy carried to his quarters. Without additional context about this serial's characters and storyline, the specific satirical target remains unclear. The humor appears social rather than overtly political—mocking Percy's weakness and the officers' scheming—but the full satirical point requires knowing who these fictional characters represent.
