What you’re looking at
I can see this is a measurement/scale reference page from what appears to be an archival document, showing Oregon Rule Co. rulers for photographic calibration purposes. The page contains two rulers and a grayscale color chart - standard tools used in documentary photography to establish accurate scale and color reference in archival images. This is **not a satirical cartoon page** from The Wasp magazine. Rather, it appears to be a technical reference sheet used when photographing documents or artifacts for archival records. The rulers and color chart helped ensure accurate reproduction of materials being documented. Without the actual satirical content visible, I cannot identify any political figures, social references, or jokes that would be present on a typical Wasp page.
