He is hiding from the Black and Tans, who are shown outside through the window, (two armoured plated gun carriers are depicted). Beneath this text reads: "Then the Treaty came / and the Wind of Liberty Blew Him Out / Now Thus Is He!, 1922". below this is a second illustration, the same man is depicted wearing a large tartan patterned hat, a trenchcoat (which has a sling across it, in which there are two holsters (with a revolver in each) while he is also depicted with a revolver in each hand (firing them simultaneously). He is yelling "Up The Republic" (written in a speech bubble) as he dances down a road in the countryside, with a destroyed house in the background. |
