Most people would rather not see their attempt to make up for lost pictures.

1969: Christopher Robin

The readers of Punch would have recognised Christopher Robin, Pooh Bear, Tigger and Eyore. Being washed up was not a term that A.A. Milne would have used in the 1930s but in 1969 it was commonly used.

1969: Yesterday’s Issue

This is one cartoon which doesn’t look eerily up to date. Back in 1969 it was Wilson who was so controversial. Now he is just a distant memory.

1978: Unfinished business from World War Two

The war had ended 33 years earlier yet deserters were still a relevant issue. The ‘joke’ is that you couldn’t expect them to out themselves even in 1978.

1969: Standing up for men’s rights

Contemporary opinion holds that it was the women who were deprived of their rights in 1969. Here we see a domesticated man under a female well-manicured thumb. ‘Hen pecked’ was the term used at the time.
