This cartoon depicts a scene at a football match where two St John Ambulance personnel are attending to an injured assistant referee on the field.
An observing fan remarks: “THAT FORWARD'S GOING TO BE IN AN AWFUL LOT OF TROUBLE ONCE THE ASSISTANT REFEREE'S HAD HIS FLAG REMOVED.”
The humour comes from the fan’s interpretation of the situation: the unlikely injury is serious enough that the assistant-referee might need the flag removed from an orifice, and implying that the forward who caused the incident is in for a heavy punishment.
Cartoons like this thrive on visual storytelling and witty captions, capturing the intensity and occasional absurdity of sports scenarios in a single frame.
