The Wasp — 1891 — page 250: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and transportation schedules** for late 19th-century Pacific Coast steamship and railroad companies. The main content includes: - Shipping schedules for the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, Oceanic and Oriental Steamship Company, and others - Railroad timetables for the Southern Pacific and Northern Pacific railways - Business advertisements for services like paper dealing (A. Zellerbach & Sons) The only potentially satirical element is a small section titled **"A SUPERFLUITY"** featuring a brief joke about a young rugby player named Pugsby. The humor appears gentle rather than political—commenting on sports culture rather than addressing social or political issues. The page functions primarily as a **commercial directory** rather than as political satire or comics.
