What you’re looking at

This cartoon depicts a romantic scenario where a gentleman proposes to a young woman, asking "Which will it be?" The woman appears flustered or indecisive, suggesting the humor lies in the gentleman's awkward or presumptuous proposal—perhaps he's offering her multiple choice options or uncertain prospects rather than a straightforward commitment. The accompanying text below the image is a humorous dialogue between characters named "Maggie," "Rogers," "Custance," and "Cattance," discussing breakfast timing, a razor, and whether someone "got there if you are anything like this razor." The exact satirical point is unclear without fuller context, but appears to mock courtship conventions or male presumption of the era.
