What you’re looking at

This page contains three satirical pieces. The main content focuses on Democratic politics and journalism in what appears to be San Francisco or California politics. "Campaign Echoes" discusses local Democratic candidates and internal party conflicts, satirizing their ambitions and factional disputes. "A Neat Boxing Contest" describes a staged boxing match between boxers Aleck Greggains and Martin Costello, critiquing how such sporting events were promoted and monetized, with commentary on Australian boxer Mick Dooley. The cartoons labeled "A Discriminating Artist" mock a real estate agent named Mr. Fleece (from Slimco, Bang & Co.), satirizing dishonest business practices through visual humor showing the agent's deceptive dealings. These pieces collectively target political corruption, journalistic sensationalism, and fraudulent commerce.
