That picture is all wrong. The woman is smiling. In real life she would be scowling, and giving him a good lecture on the evils of drink. And using the time honoured weapon of threatening withdrawal of conjugal rights. But then he is wearing a monocle, so is probably an upper class twit who wouldn't know any better. And besides, it's not a whisky glass. Whisky drinkers would have more cojones than to fall for a trick like that. As they say, every picture tells a story.

Right on Snowy.
It is an illustration of how men have been led down the garden path by devious younger women. Check out the lusting eyes. Sensual mouth.
Hands positioned to go the grope just as soon as she can get him suitably crissed as a picket.
The kettle is empty. Simply there as a temporary distraction from her evil intent.

Mind you, he looks like he has spent the whole afternoon proving that the string isn't really attached to the glass either so he probably deserves all he gets.

maybe she knew that there was arsenic in the glass and boiling oil in the kettle and either way she was going to be rid of him....and maybe he was only too happy to take the opportunity!

It is probably his invention and he is showing her how great it is, and she, the dutiful little woman, is pretending to be impressed though she really thinks that it is just another one of his goof ball ideas. She is the real brains in the family.
