The title, "Don't blame it all on the war!", sets a playful, admonishing tone, and it suggests the picture pokes fun at people who blamed every inconvenience or lapse on the conflict. By 1917, the United States had entered World War I that April, and daily life was changing quickly, with rising prices, shortages, and public campaigns urging citizens to conserve, work, and buy bonds. Wartime images like this often used humor to nudge viewers toward good sense and good cheer as the war dragged on.
