DescriptionBy A.E. Bestall. This cartoon shows a husband and wife sitting at a table having breakfast. The husband reads a headline from the newspaper and his wife, only half-listening, completely misinterprets it. The caption reads: 'Munitioner (reading the headlines): "FIRST AND THIRD ARMIES STRIKE AGAIN!" / Mrs. M. (absently): "HUH, SOME PEOPLE WILL NEVER BE SATISFIED WITH THEIR BONUS."' The woman in this cartoon misunderstands the headline, assuming that 'strike' refers to a pay protest rather than a military attack.
