Firework Display

Another cartoon shows a wife, dressed to go out, about to take her children to a firework display, while her husband lounges in an armchair. 

Husband not up for another firework display - cartoon

He explains that he’s just watched Prime Minister’s Questions and isn’t up for another “firework-display”. This cartoon was published in Eyebrow Magazine

The gag works by cleverly linking the literal fireworks with the figurative “fireworks” of politics, and the contrast between the husband’s indifference and the family’s excitement makes it relatable and humorous. 

It’s a type of domestic comedy that readers immediately understand and enjoy.
