Thanks Awfully for Telling Us!
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a witty and satirical cartoon by the renowned British illustrator, H.M. Bateman, published in 1914. This cartoon takes aim at the Daily Mail, a popular British newspaper of the time, for its journalistic technique of stating the obvious. The image depicts Bateman as a disheveled, bespectacled figure, sitting at a desk cluttered with newspapers and books. He looks exasperated as he pours scorn on a Daily Mail newspaper, which he holds in his hand. The headline of the newspaper reads, "War Declared!" with a large exclamation mark. Bateman's thought bubble above his head reads, "Thanks awfully for telling us, Daily Mail!" This cartoon was created during the early stages of World War I, a time when the daily news was filled with reports of the ongoing conflict. The Daily Mail, like many other newspapers, was quick to report on the latest developments, often in sensationalist and dramatic language. Bateman's cartoon pokes fun at this journalistic approach, highlighting the redundancy of reporting something as obvious as a war being declared. The cartoon's title, "Knowledge as it is purveyed: dedicated to the 'Daily ___'", further emphasizes Bateman's critique of the newspaper industry and its role in disseminating information. The use of the blank space in "Daily ___" invites the viewer to fill in the name of their own local or favorite newspaper, making the commentary more personal and relatable. Overall, "Thanks Awfully for Telling Us!" is a humorous and insightful commentary on the role of the media in shaping public opinion and disseminating information, a topic that remains relevant even a century later.
