# Al Frontón Condal: El Banquet de la Victoria (At the Frontón Condal), ¡Cu-Cut!

A small cartoon of an army officer in plumed shako and braided tunic talking to a civilian outside a hall marked 'Frontón Condal', where crowds are entering. Asked what the gathering celebrates, the officer hears 'the Banquet of the Victory' and answers 'Of the victory? Ah, well, they must be civilians'. The tell is that punchline, which labels the army as victorious only over 'paisanos' (civilians).
