In this cartoon a lecture is being given where the audience can see examples of possible examples of insanity and we are given the chance to decide in our own opinions as potential psychiatrists what we in our considered opinion may be on the subject of HOW TO DIAGNOSE INSANITY. However, in the end we may have to evaluate our own position on this.

Lecturer: In the following two examples, we will see some demonstrations of human behaviour. Which one is abnormal?

Example 1

First Character on plane: Cor! Look at all those people down there! They look like ants!

Second Character: That's because they ARE ants! We haven't left the ground yet!

Example 2

Mickstup Mouse: Cor! Look at all those people down there! They look like praying mantises!

Frisco Duck: Whud are ya?! Crazy or sumpin?!?

Lecturer: And the answer is - it is YOU, reader, who is abnormal, for reading such tripe as this comic instead of being at work like you ought to be!
