No Joke!
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Frank Reynolds captures a humorous moment in history during the First World War. In this satirical print, we see an artist who is stumped for further jokes on the subject of the war, wishing for peace to be declared so he can submit his new ideas. It's April 26, 1916, and the world is engulfed in conflict, yet here we have a light-hearted take on the situation.
Frank Reynolds was known for his witty and clever illustrations that often poked fun at serious subjects. In this piece, he brings levity to a dark time in history with his playful imagination. The artist's frustration at not being able to come up with more jokes about such a grim topic speaks volumes about the absurdity of war.
As we look back on this historical period through Reynolds' eyes, we are reminded of the power of humor to provide relief in times of turmoil. His wish for peace reflects a universal desire for an end to violence and suffering. "No Joke!" serves as both a reminder of our past and a hopeful message for the future - may laughter prevail over conflict, and may peace always triumph in the end.
