This cartoon shows a man carrying a newspaper, about to enter a door labeled “Crossword Compilers Private Meeting.”
The wording of the sign is cleverly arranged to resemble a crossword layout, which is the punchline of the joke.
The humour comes from the visual play on words: the sign itself looks like a crossword puzzle, making it immediately clear that the meeting is for people who create them.
It’s a subtle twist that rewards careful observation and wordplay, typical of lighthearted, intellectual humour.
Cartoons like this work by combining familiar settings – in this case, a private meeting – with visual puns, letting the audience spot the joke and enjoy the idea behind the concept.
