What you’re looking at

This satirical comic depicts a wealthy man (top hat, formal dress) repeatedly trying to evict a drunk from property marked "Dollar Limit." The drunk character—portrayed with exaggerated features typical of period caricature—resists removal despite the man's escalating efforts. The "Dollar Limit" sign suggests commentary on financial constraints or spending limits, likely referencing economic policy debates of the era. The title "We Won't Go Home Till Morning" indicates defiant persistence. The satire appears to mock either labor disputes, class conflict, or debates about wealth/poverty during an economically turbulent period. The repeated panels emphasize the futility of the wealthy man's attempts, suggesting sympathy for the working-class figure or criticism of attempts to remove poor people from public spaces. The exact historical context remains unclear without dating information.
