This cartoon plays on the classic theme of sudden fortune and how it can change people’s lives – sometimes quite dramatically.
It shows a man sitting comfortably in his armchair, reading a newspaper, while behind him his wife is quietly leaving through the front door, carrying two suitcases.
Unaware of what’s happening, the man asks, “Do you think your big lottery win’s going to change your life at all, dear?”
The humour lies in his complete obliviousness to the fact that her life is already changing – and in a very immediate way.
It’s a simple scene, but one that captures a lot of character and irony in a single frame.
The cartoon gently pokes fun at communication (or the lack of it) in relationships, and at how winning the lottery can reveal different priorities altogether!
