Political Cartoon

This cartoon is showing a little bit of what trench warfare is like. I believe the cartoonist is saying how silly trench warfare is. Being stuck in a trench and having to peep over the top of the trench just to see whats going on with the risk of getting your head blown off. He is also showing how the soldiers think they have found a way to see over the top without being shot with the little telescope with mirrors. the cartoonist is exaggerating the fact that they cant look over the top even a little bit to see whats going on, also with him aiming down the sight, he is exaggerating that they soldiers can't even shoot from where they are positioned, which may be true. I like this comic, it shows how useless trench warfare is unless your defending the target. the comic is right about what is going on in the trenches, you can't peek over to far, and you cant shoot without peeking over and getting shot.
