The Wasp — 1887 — page 9: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising content** from a San Francisco publication, featuring Victorian-era business promotions rather than political satire or editorial cartoons. The one notable illustration is a small cartoon in the upper right labeled "WE WILL BET ON BUB / EVERY TIME!" depicting a figure with a dog or animal, apparently promoting **Drink For Anas Soda** (a beverage product). The joke appears to be a pun or play on betting/gambling language applied to a soft drink brand, though the exact reference is unclear without additional context. The rest of the page consists of commercial advertisements for San Francisco businesses: breweries (John Wieland's, Stock Brewery), champagne, bathhouses, hotels, and furniture storage. This reflects The Wasp's business model of combining satirical editorial content with paid advertising rather than being purely satirical throughout.
