1986: A joke intended for the Metropolitan Elite

There would not have been many readers of Punch in Burnley in 1986. Quite possibly none at all.

1983: Superkid

This juvenile does not conform to the image shown in the comic books at the time. Why would he want to borrow the car If he really possessed superhuman abilities?

1983: Being different

To my mind this cartoon belongs more to the sixties but the desire to be different was not confined to that decade. The point of the joke is to portray nudism as ordinary, mainstream really.

1983: A smart career decision

1983? Such decisions seem quite common place these days.

1983: Etiquette among the Eskimos

Multiple absurdities are on display here. The main theme is to show ‘Western’ values being enacted in a milieu which is completely un-western. Of course, fish will be on the menu – again!

1983: Pavement Art

Conventions are being broken here. Mavis isn’t embarrassed and the street artist accepts her as a bona fide model. Its only the husband who conforms to type.

Re: The Pages of Punch

1986: A macabre cartoon

Here is an example of what is known as ‘gallows humour’. It rarely appears in the pages of Punch.

Re: The Pages of Punch

1985: Cruelty

The woman is shown as deliberately sadistic. This cartoon represents a part of trend that belongs to a late phase in the lifetime of Punch.
