What you’re looking at

This political cartoon depicts a bearded man in a chef's outfit labeled "SCULLERY MAN" being confronted by two insect-like creatures with human faces. The title "Spotted and Spitted" appears to be a pun referencing both the visual "spotting" of the wasps and the act of "spitting" venom. The cartoon likely satirizes a specific political or social figure of the era through the kitchen/chef metaphor. The wasps—representing *The Wasp* magazine itself—are attacking this character. Without additional historical context about when this was published, the specific identity of the "scullery man" remains unclear, though the imagery suggests criticism of someone in a service or subordinate position, possibly commenting on corruption or incompetence in local politics or labor.
