= Irony v. Ironing =

====**Directions:** First, read the comic strip to yourself silently and think about your answers to the following questions: What is ironic about the comic strip? What is ironic about the situation and dialogue in the first frame? What about the last frame.====

After you have thought about your answers for a minute, discuss them with your small group members. Provide your answers below...
The guard was being sarcastic to imply that the other man's shirt was actually very wrinkly. It is ironic because he is in the military and he is supposed to have a nice, fresh shirt. The guard is pointing out that the shirt is not fresh and ironed. Ergo, irony.

 The last frame is ironic because he is ironing his wrinkled shirt and doesn't understand the concept of irony.
