An original World War II-era military cartoon by Louis Jamme (1913-1949) possesses a long and ungainly caption, but that's really the point of the whole thing. It's all about ironies of scale: while the floodlight towers over the soldiers, they are vexed by the most minuscule of tools.

"Well, sir, we just used our last match looking for the flashlight we dropped which we were using to find the switch to turn this thing on."

Note: Anyone who can, please shed some light on when and where this cartoon was published.
This is the second of five original works sold last week created by cartoonist Louis Jamme. He seems to have been a skilled draftsman who was well on his way to establishing a legacy for himself. Not much of his work is remembered today, so I would be interested in hearing from readers who have original works of his art or seldom-seen published cartoons.
