After his reelection in 1936, and as a reaction to opposition he was getting from the Supreme Court, FDR attempted to "pack" the Court by enlarging it (by 6 judges) and then appointing justices who would agree with his approach. This cartoon is a commentary on the Roosevelt "court-packing" episode.
