What you’re looking at

This appears to be a satirical cartoon from *The Wasp* magazine depicting several men in a cornfield or grain field. The caption reads: "BE BY CALLING EACH OTHER LIARS AND THIEVES. (SEE FROG [?] INSIDE)" The image shows what appears to be political figures or public personalities engaged in mutual accusations—literally calling each other "liars and thieves." The reference to "FROG" in parentheses likely points to another related cartoon or story within the magazine. Without knowing the specific historical context or date of this *Wasp* issue, I cannot definitively identify these individuals. However, the satire appears to mock political corruption or scandal involving multiple figures who discredit each other through accusations. The cornfield setting may metaphorically represent fertile ground for political duplicity. The cross-reference suggests this cartoon was part of a larger satirical narrative within that issue.
