This cartoon,published in The Sun newspaper on 20th October 2001, takes place in a beauty salon and captures one of those delightfully awkward moments of everyday humour.
A man is standing beside his wife, who has just finished her beauty treatment.
Looking at her, he turns to the beautician and remarks, “Well, on the face of it, I’d say you’ve failed.”
The humour lies in the man’s unfiltered honesty – or perhaps, his complete lack of tact.
His remark, while clearly intended as a joke, lands somewhere between playful and disastrous, depending on how you imagine his wife might react next! It’s a classic example of observational humour, highlighting the sometimes fine line between wit and misjudgement in everyday conversation.
Cartoons like this often resonate because they reflect recognisable situations – in this case, the light-hearted tension between couples and the well-meaning but occasionally foot-in-mouth moments that can happen in relationships.
It’s gentle, relatable comedy drawn from real life, with a cheeky twist at the end.
For another quick laugh, have a look at “My Brother’s a Proper Cook” or the tongue-in-cheek “God’s Gift to Women”.
