What you’re looking at

This political cartoon depicts what appears to be a wealthy industrialist or businessman (shown as an elephant-like caricature, likely representing capitalist excess) being confronted by a smaller figure. The text references "Don Cushion" and mentions "Ebon's a friend of Billie" and "Black and play Golf—we married." The satirical point seems to target corruption or improper relationships between business interests and political/social figures. The elephant figure's portly appearance and formal attire suggest wealth and power, while the confrontational poses suggest accusation or exposure of wrongdoing. Without clearer identification of specific individuals or dates, the exact scandal or figures remain unclear, but this appears to be typical Wasp-style muckraking satire attacking wealthy elites and their questionable associations.
