EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon image from the Laugh It Off Annual of 1945 showcases a heartwarming and humorous scene of a soldier's post-war return to his office job. The veteran, dressed in his military uniform, sits at his desk with a surprised expression on his face as he finds himself in an unexpected situation. Two young women, each playfully perched on one of his knees, add to the boss's shock. The older boss, who stands behind the soldier, looks on in disbelief, his hands on his hips. The title of the cartoon, "Demobbed! and glad to be back on the old job, sir!" suggests the relief and joy the soldier feels to be back in his familiar workplace environment after the challenges of war. The design of the cover, with its playful double entendre and suggestive imagery, reflects the lighthearted and humorous tone of the Laugh It Off Annual. This charming cartoon is a poignant reminder of the post-war spirit of the 1940s, a time of hope and renewal after the hardships of World War II.
