This cartoon plays on the familiar idiom, “his bark is worse than his bite.”
In the image, a dog is literally biting a man’s leg, while his friend comments that the dog’s “bark is even worse.”
The humour comes from the visual twist on a well-known phrase, turning the metaphor into a literal and exaggerated situation.
The cartoon captures the irony of language and the comic timing of the friend’s remark, highlighting the dog’s troublesome behaviour in a playful way.
Cartoons like this work by taking common sayings and showing them in unexpected, literal contexts, making us see everyday expressions in a new and amusing light.
If my latest cartoon raised a smile, you might like to continue the fun with “Drink to Forget” or perhaps the quirky “The Optician Didn’t Expect This Result”. More laughs await on my blog!
