What you’re looking at

This page contains two satirical cartoons stacked vertically, both titled "The Ways" (suggesting different approaches or methods). The **top cartoon** depicts a chaotic scene with multiple figures in what appears to be a bedroom or private space. Various characters seem engaged in frantic activity, suggesting scandal or moral impropriety. The style and composition suggest commentary on illicit behavior or corruption among society figures. The **bottom cartoon** shows what appears to be a more domestic or social scene with figures in interior settings, though the specific satire is difficult to determine without clearer identification of the depicted individuals. Without additional context about *The Wasp*'s publication date or clearer legible text, I cannot definitively identify which political or social figures are being caricatured or what specific events these cartoons reference.
