1981: Antarctic heroes

This cartoon does not follow the spirit of admiring heroic but unsuccessful journeys to the pole. We can see that the expedition was unsuccessful because one member is shown - dead – in the opening of the tent.

1982: Life before the invention…

Nobody did this of course. Many inventors find needs that had not existed previously.

1982: Two kinds of decadence

There is nothing stylish about Jocelyn’s decadence. The man standing seems to confirm the saying that money doesn’t buy you happiness but it lets you be miserable in comfort.

1982: Marine Biology

The ladies seem to admire the sailors without a thought about child support.

1982: The end of everything …

Wikipedia tells us that the expression is associated with ennui, cynicism and decadence. The artist has conjured up an appropriate image.

1981: Echoes of a bygone era

Mediaeval castles like this would certainly represent an attractive acquisition for the modern National Trust. However, it would now be a matter for lawyers, not soldiers, to affect a handover.

1981: The Pigs’ Revenge

In the Middle Ages court jesters mocked the king’s orb and sceptre with a stick and balloon made with a pig’s bladder.

The pigs in the scene are partly concealed in the bottom right of the picture.

Re: The Pages of Punch

Another excellent Mclachlan cartoon - I like his slightly sadistic humour.

1981: He is going to regret ignoring her

This represents a fairly early instance of the women’s movement. Unfortunately, she will suffer as much as he will. from his attitude.
