What you’re looking at

This page contains **Chapter II of a serialized story titled "CLOVER,"** not a political cartoon. The narrative depicts a domestic drama involving working-class characters, primarily centering on a young woman named Clover and her interactions with Sir Francis Strachan and her family. The text focuses on Clover's personal struggles—her relationships, her father's warnings against Sir Francis, and romantic tensions—rather than political satire. This appears to be **serialized fiction** typical of The Wasp's content mix of journalism, advertising, and entertainment. Without clear visual caricatures or labeled political figures on this text-heavy page, the satirical purpose—if any—remains unclear from the visible content alone.
