What you’re looking at

This appears to be a multi-panel satirical comic from *The Wasp* magazine depicting a revenge narrative. The title at bottom reads "THE 'FENCE IS RAN[...]" with panels labeled "ALL THAT REMAINS," "REBUIT," "REVENGE," and "YOU KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG." The story shows: a man discovering damage to his property (top panels), experiencing what appears to be emotional distress (middle left), then taking revenge through confrontation (middle right). The final panel shows what seems to be the consequences of his actions on a woman and child. The satire appears to critique cycles of retaliation and their collateral human costs. Without clearer identification of the specific historical figures or events referenced, the exact political context remains unclear, though it seems to comment on how vengeance harms innocent parties rather than achieving justice.
