The Wasp — 1895 — page 134: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page contains serialized fiction rather than political cartoons. The main narrative, "Wheelepelt's Revenge," depicts romantic drama among San Francisco's wealthy elite, including characters named Evangeline, the Comte de Taglierini, and Willie von Wheelepelt. The accompanying illustrations show period-appropriate social scenes—a woman receiving marked attention, people in conversation, and what appears to be a gentleman in formal dress. The bottom of the page advertises **Ayer's Pills**, claiming to be the best remedy for stomach, liver, and bowel complaints, noting it received "highest awards at the World's Fair." This appears to be entertainment and advertising content rather than satirical commentary.
