1932: Downsizing

Heath Robinson is one of the most famous names that have appeared in the pages of Punch. His drawings usually consist of very elaborate machinery, doing trivial things, occupying large amounts of space. Here, by contrast, he is emphasising small quantities of space. The modern flat was now coming into its own. Here we see the ‘kitchen’ pared down to it essentials without any unnecessary additions. We see the lady of the flat boiling an egg for her awaiting husband.

1932: A (special) policeman’s lot IS a happy one!

Obviously a full time policeman would never forget his duty in this way although of course none of his friends would be driving the little sports car in 1932. The special constable is recognisable as a member of the upper middle class.

1936: Modern Architecture again

The owner is taunting the three people outside. Of course they loathe it. It is quite unlike anything that they have ever seen. With hindsight we note that the fashion for this type of thing has disappeared long ago.

1931: A very old joke

Not at all politically correct this joke is based on the subtle difference between two meanings of the term ‘I don’t like the look of…’.

1925: Snobbery

The would-be customers look fully upper middle class but the caption suggest otherwise. Presumably they have both been used to an affluent life style but cannot afford it at the moment.

1934: Not that sort of party

They each are talking about a different sort of party. He is the serious one and she isn’t. That’s how it was in those days.

How that word 'gay' has changed its meaning!
