What you’re looking at

This page contains three distinct articles rather than political cartoons: 1. **"McTavish's Soup"** — A humorous narrative about "Geordie" McTavish, a retired factor, whose domestic experiments with soup-making create household chaos. The story satirizes both his culinary incompetence and his wife "Sadie's" exasperation. 2. **"A Deserved Honor"** — Commentary on federal appointments under President Harrison, praising Colonel Byington's selection as Surveyor of the Port of San Francisco. It positions Republican appointees as meritorious. 3. **"Sour Mash"** and **"Woodshed Logic"** — Brief humorous anecdotes and dialogue pieces. The page emphasizes satirical domestic humor and Republican political favoritism rather than visual cartooning.
