The Wasp — 1893 — page 35: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page contains primarily **satirical commentary and advertising** rather than political cartoons. The left side features an editorial titled "End Me Far" with two grotesque caricatured heads, likely targeting political or social figures of the era, though specific identities aren't clear from the visible text. The main content critiques the **Salvation Army**, mocking their evangelical practices, appearance, and methods. The author sarcastically describes them as "scavengers" compared to gentlemen, criticizing their street preaching and salvation techniques. The bulk of the page is **commercial advertising** for St. Charles Evaporated Cream, offering cash prizes for label collection—a marketing gimmick promising up to $100 for consumers. The editorial tone is irreverent and class-conscious, typical of *The Wasp*'s satirical approach to San Francisco society.
