The Wasp — 1888 — page 92: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page contains primarily **text articles, not political cartoons**. It reports on the Horticulturists' Convention in San Jose, covering agricultural exhibits and real estate developments in California. The content includes promotional coverage of citrus fruits, orange groves, and orchards displayed by various counties and businesses. There are also notices about Eastern visitors examining California land for investment purposes. Near the page's bottom, there's a brief **satirical dialogue** mocking a minister who fell asleep during a sermon. When confronted about his drowsiness, he deflects by complimenting the minister's voice as "musical." The page reflects *The Wasp*'s typical mix of **local California news, agricultural promotion, and gentle social humor**—rather than sharp political satire. The magazine appears to function partly as a booster publication for regional development.
