The Correction

A cartoon. The cartoonist's view is their own.

A front doorstep, early. A woman in a dressing gown has picked up the paper and is reading a short item near the bottom of the page. Behind her, in the hall, her husband is waiting to be told. Caption: "They've printed that they were wrong about the thing you were wrong about. So that's both of you."
