The Wasp — 1888 — page 212: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page features portraits of four men identified as future legislators. The labels read: "Eggman" (top left), "W.W. Morrow" (top center), "J. McKennie" (right), and "J.G. Phelps" (bottom center). The satirical title "Our Coming Legislators" suggests *The Wasp* is commenting on these candidates' fitness for office—likely California state legislative races in 1888. Without additional context about these specific politicians' scandals or positions, the exact satirical point is unclear, though the prominent display of their faces in a humor magazine indicates they were notable or controversial public figures worthy of editorial mockery.
