What you’re looking at

This appears to be a political cartoon depicting a confrontation scene. On the left stands a portly, older man in formal dress with an aggressive posture. On the right are two dogs—one appears to be attacking or mauling another. A thatched-roof cottage is visible in the background. The partial text reads "NG THEM ON," suggesting someone is "egging them on" or inciting violence. The cartoon likely uses the dogs as metaphors for political or social factions being deliberately provoked into conflict by a figure in power. Without the full caption and complete text, the specific political figures and historical context remain unclear, though the message appears critical of someone instigating conflict between groups for personal gain.
