| Description | This cartoon shows an elegant woman addressing two sailors on shore-leave. The caption reads: ' "AND YOU REALLY SANK A SUBMARINE LAST WEEK? DID YOU FIRE A SHELL AT IT?" / "NO, LIDY, BILL 'ERE WENT TO THE SIDE AND 'AD A LOOK AT IT."' Tom Cottrell, who drew this cartoon, is a less well known war cartoonist than his contemporaries, Bert Thomas, Bertram Prance and Lawson Wood. Nevertheless, like these artists, Cottrell was a contributor not only to 'Sea-Pie' but also to 'Punch', the hugely famous and successful satirical magazine that ran from 1841 until 2002. |
