1976: A clued up farmer

Glastonbury is surely the prototype for this joke. Farmers were becoming fully aware of the profits to be ‘harvested’ from the pop scene. Pop festivals were a major feature of the sixties and seventies. I am under the impression that they are still around but not as frequent as they used to be.

1977: Value for Money?

This joke has appeared more than once before in earlier times. The earlier ones showed winter sports to be the prerogative of the rich. By 1977 this clearly was no longer the case.

1964: Alpine Rescue

Real alpine rescue could never look like this. That reflection gives further weight to the joke shown the day before yesterday.

1976: Identifying what is really interesting here

Miles away from the earlier stance of Punch the flasher is mortified to find that it is the silk lining of his mackintosh that interest these unfazed ladies. They’ve seen ‘it’ before.

Re: The Pages of Punch

That one's really funny!

Re: The Pages of Punch

Excellent.

Re: The Pages of Punch

Tee-hee! The best way to deflate a flasher!
