Whitney Darrow was a legendary New Yorker cartoonist. Many of his cartoons are classics of the genre. This, well, it may not be one of his best. I'm guessing that he drew this post WWII. High Larious among the Pacific Theatre vets.
Anyway, since Mr. Darrow had the foresight to include a ukulele in the cartoon, I think we can salvage it. Write a new caption and post it at the comments link!

By the way... did you notice that the artist looks like he made a correction in the drawing? It appears he painted over the white guy holding his hat and replaced it with the ukulele. I guess that made the joke clearer.
Hmmm. Or maybe I just got fooled by the crafty uke player from the Netherlands who posted it (http://www.ukuleleclub.nl/).
DOH!
(Write captions anyway, folks!)

FIRST hand over the baby...THEN you get the ukulele.
Nice, guys. Keep 'em coming!
