What you’re looking at

This satirical cartoon from *The Wasp* depicts several well-dressed men being forcibly ejected from a room, with papers scattering. The title "ARE OUT" and partial text "much different complexion" suggest political figures losing power or influence. The scene shows what appears to be an eviction or removal from office. The men's exaggerated facial features and formal dress indicate they're meant as recognizable political figures, though specific identities require additional historical context beyond the visible image alone. The cartoon likely comments on a significant political shift—possibly a change in administration, loss of legislative seats, or scandal-driven removals. The theatrical nature of the ejection emphasizes the dramatic reversal of fortune these figures experienced. Without additional dating or labeling, the exact historical event remains unclear.
