This page compiles humorous cartoons from international publications (London, Paris, Munich, Madrid, Berlin), showcasing how different countries satirized WWI-era life. **Key cartoons:** - **"The Roll Call"**: A soldier counts his dog as a troop member to inflate numbers for inspection—mocking military bureaucracy. - **"Arms and the Girl"**: A woman working in munitions enjoys being surrounded by "arms" (weaponry/male attention)—wartime gender role commentary. - **"Trench-Periscope"**: A family debates sending a periscope to their son because it's useful for spying on neighbors—satirizing civilian priorities over wartime needs. - **"The Penalty"**: A mother threatens withholding affection unless her child behaves—domestic discipline humor. Other cartoons mock carnival accidents, milk pasteurization debates, and aviation mishaps. The collection illustrates how Allied and neutral nations used satire to comment on wartime absurdities and daily life disruptions.
