What you’re looking at

This page contains **no visible cartoon**—it's primarily text articles from *The Wasp*, "The Oldest Cartoon Paper in Colors in the United States." The content discusses several topics: 1. **Jim Corbett** (boxer): Articles praise his fighting skill and "obedience to parental commands," contrasting his discipline with the "moral and social atrocity" of fighter James Corbett's conduct (possibly a confusion or different fighter). 2. **San Francisco institutions**: Commentary on the city's cultural imports and social establishments, including criticism of money wasted on *California* magazine. 3. **Minor society notes**: References to theater performances, Lady Wolseley's legal matters, and criticism of the State University's alcohol policy. The satire targets San Francisco's pretensions and mismanagement rather than national politics.
