This political cartoon depicts a drummer or percussionist labeled "THE THIRD TIME," beating large bass drums while marching. The figure appears to be a caricatured entertainer or public performer. The text "N W E R" is partially visible at the bottom, likely part of a longer word. The satire likely references a repeated occurrence or cyclical event happening for a "third time"—a common structure in political humor suggesting patterns or inevitable repetition. Without clearer context about the publication date or visible identifying text, I cannot specify which particular historical event or political situation this cartoon satirizes. The energetic percussion imagery suggests either enthusiasm being repeatedly generated or, conversely, a tiresome repetition of propaganda or performance.
