This cartoon, set in a library, plays on the double meanings of “short stories” and “tall stories.”
One character holds a book labeled “SHORT STORIES,” which is physically short in height, while another stands beside a towering stack of books labeled “TALL STORIES.”
The humour comes from the clever visual twist: literary terms turned into literal objects. It’s a playful way of showing how language can be interpreted in more than one way, turning a simple idea into a whimsical scene.
Cartoons like this rely on observation and wordplay, inviting viewers to spot the joke while appreciating the small details. The contrast between the tiny book and the enormous stack of “tall stories” makes the scene instantly amusing.
