Wife Shows Counsellor Her Holiday Photos...

This political cartoon is set in a relationship counselling session at RELATE, the UK relationship support charity. 

Wife showing marriage guidance counsellor her holiday photos

The wife is animatedly showing the counsellor a collection of holiday photos scattered across the desk. The caption reads: “And this is one of him ignoring me in Greece…”. 

The humour comes from the exaggerated contrast between her enthusiasm and his apparent disengagement, highlighting a familiar relationship complaint: feeling overlooked or ignored.

The joke works because it exaggerates a common marital issue - lack of attention - in a relatable and visual way. The husband’s disengaged posture and the wife’s meticulous presentation of evidence create a playful tension that many couples will recognise. 

It’s this mix of over-the-top documentation and subtle social commentary that makes the cartoon both funny and insightful.

Cartooning keeps me on my toes – and if you like this one, you might enjoy “Supermarket” or my nostalgic favourite “A Lovely Day for Caravaning”. Both show how a small moment can spark a good laugh!
