The Wasp — 1895 — page 760: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising** for various turn-of-the-century products and services, interspersed with three small cartoon vignettes titled "THERE'S MANY A SLIP, ETC." and "AN IMPORTANT QUESTION SETTLED" and "HOW'S THIS!" The cartoons appear to depict humorous domestic or social situations involving elongated, exaggerated figures in awkward poses—characteristic of late-19th-century satirical illustration style. However, without clearer visibility of the cartoon details or accompanying explanatory text, I cannot confidently identify the specific satirical targets or jokes intended. The ads themselves (dental services, medical products like "Catarrh Cure," and patent medicines) reflect period concerns about health and personal grooming. The page serves primarily as a revenue vehicle rather than political satire.
