The Wasp — 1889 — page 102: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page contains three separate fictional stories rather than political cartoons: 1. **"Triumphant Love"** — a serialized bicycle romance from 1889, featuring characters Rachel and Eugenio in a melodramatic tale. 2. **"A Mortal Injury"** and **"Human Nature on the Highway"** — anecdotal stories about brick-wagon accidents and disputes. 3. **"He Had Rheumatics"** — a humorous dialogue between a cabin visitor and a man suffering from rheumatism, treated comically. The page includes one small illustration showing what appears to be a policeman and civilian. The content emphasizes *The Wasp's* role as a general-interest satirical magazine mixing serialized fiction, humor columns, and commentary rather than solely political cartooning.
