From My Cartoon Archive – A Caravans and Traffic Cartoon
Among my older cartoons is this one that still raises a smile whenever I look back at it.
The scene shows a couple at home, gazing out of their window at their caravan. One of them suggests, with a straight face, “It’s a beautiful day. Let’s take the caravan out and hold up some traffic.”
The humour here comes from a gentle exaggeration of a common stereotype – that caravans are often associated with slow journeys and long lines of cars behind them.
Of course, in reality most caravan owners are simply out to enjoy their holiday and the open road, but the joke touches on that familiar frustration of being stuck behind a slower vehicle.
By turning it into a deliberate decision by the couple, the cartoon highlights the clash between leisure and impatience in a light-hearted way.
It’s a playful reminder of how humour can take everyday situations – in this case traffic and travel – and give them an unexpected twist.
Like many cartoons, it relies on the reader’s own experiences to complete the joke, which is perhaps why it still feels relevant years after I first drew it.
I hope this cartoon brightened your day! You can find more light-hearted humour in “Wife Wishes Husband Was Her Dream Man” or the classic “The Hidden Bottle Opener”.
