- Description
Prime Minister Sid Holland sits weeping at his desk over a note from Sir Winston Churchill that reads 'Can't make it - Winnie'. Portraits of Winston Churchill adorn the walls and the PM's desk. Keith Holyoake has just ushered a man through the door and says 'Go on in, Anthony - the dodge worked in "Charley's aunt"!' Context - Obviously refers to a hoped for visit from Sir Winston Churchill that didn't eventuate. The substitute is Anthony Eden who was Foreign Secretary and deputy leader of the Conservative Party from 1951 to 1955 and PM from 1955 to 1957 and who visited New Zealand and Australia in February 1949.
At bottom of cartoon in pencil is the title 'The substitute' and text reading '3 col Leader P. Wed'.
