What you’re looking at

This page contains prose fiction rather than political cartoons. It's an excerpt from a story titled "The Wasp" depicting a man in a boat who awakens from a nightmare about a dead body. He's hungry, thirsty, and stranded. Upon waking, he hears a sound—something bumping against the boat's side. When he looks over the gunwale, he sees a shark resting just beneath the water's surface. The passage is atmospheric survival fiction with horror elements, not satire. Without additional context about the story's publication date or author, it's unclear what social or political commentary, if any, the narrative might contain. The page appears to be serialized fiction rather than editorial content.
