When an irate mob storms the castle, they are equipped with pitchforks and torches. Or so some legends seem to portray it. The pitchforks in my drawing are not noticeable, nor is there any hint that an annual event is occurring. Why would an angry horde want to hang their pitchforks anyway? Let alone on an annual basis?
The metaphor in this drawing is that assigning a periodicity (annual) to an event that virtually nobody has ever witnessed (hanging of pitchforks) is a brazen act of audacious incongruity. The cognitive dissonance between what the title says and what the drawing depicts segues into the metaphor in an abrupt, jocular moment of temporary befuddlement.
