The cartoon humorously plays on the classic character Don Quixote, from the novel by Miguel de Cervantes. In the story, Don Quixote famously mistakes windmills for giants and attempts to fight them.
In this cartoon, Don Quixote is depicted on his horse with his lance, but instead of a windmill, he encounters a simple electric fan. The punchline, “I will not fight a child,” adds to the humor by suggesting that Don Quixote perceives the fan as a much smaller and less threatening opponent, akin to a child, thus deciding it’s not worth fighting. The absurdity of mistaking an electric fan for a child, combined with the reference to his original confusion with windmills, creates a humorous twist.
