What you’re looking at

This page contains three separate illustrated stories rather than political cartoons. The first piece, "The Missionary and the Heathen," critiques Western missionaries in Asia, suggesting their work is self-aggrandizing and their treatment by locals is disrespectful. The second story, "It Hurt His Feelings," appears to mock a man offended by political disagreement over voting preferences, depicting him as thin-skinned. The third piece, "An Unwelcome Visitor," uses horror-story style imagery featuring what appears to be a supernatural or grotesque creature—possibly meant as social commentary, though the specific target remains unclear from this excerpt alone. All three employ satirical narrative and illustration typical of The Wasp's style.
