Cartoon: Rescue Helicopter and the Archduke Ferdinand Joke #3341781 (License: Personal Use)

The black-and-white line drawing features a rescue helicopter labeled “RESCUE” hovering above a small tropical island with palm trees and a thatched hut; two men-one in modern attire, the other in tribal dress-walk toward the shore while another figure sits nearby with a life preserver. In the background, a distant city skyline suggests proximity to civilization, contrasting the stranded setting. The punchline references the 1914 assassination that sparked WWI, misapplied as if it were a recent unsolved crime.
