Interperating cartoons
« on: July 22, 2017, 01:06:22 AM »
I had a different kind of day on Facebook.  Someone put up a Far Side cartoon that never had a caption and the poster wondered what it meant/why was it funny. I was pleasantly surprised by how different people interpreted the cartoon - I seem to be in a small minority of 4 or 5 people with my interpretation.

I hope you can see the thread without having to be a Facebook member but am not sure.

I can see the group, Diane, but can't access any threads unless I join it. My membership is "pending"...[taps foot].......
I apologise, in advance.

It's a trap for a large moth.

Wouldn't the newspaper need to be rolled up if it were a moth trap?

Or maybe a myth trap. Or am I in the wrong topic?
