Re: The Pages of Punch

1980: In the department store

The artist has successfully portrayed the two sales ladies looking annoyed at the unglamorous shopper who has dared to interrupt their chat about important matters such as their respective sex lives. Of course, the shopper wants to be served but has hoped that her sarcasm will shame them into complying. The chances are that she has not succeeded.

Re: The Pages of Punch

Was it ever thus? Not much has changed today either with staff talking between themselves and ignoring the customer.

Re: The Pages of Punch

1981: Palmistry at work

Yet another cartoon about the occult. It can hardly be seen as endorsing this practice.

1980: How one is ‘dressed’ in the afterlife

Obviously, this cartoon is mocking a literal belief in the afterlife. The other denizens of heaven seen here could hardly all have been dressed with wings and halos at their moment of their death.

1980: Students at ‘work’

It would be hard to believe that this could not have happened in real life. Students don’t dress like that anymore.

1980: An accurate assessment

This small boy can see the relationship between cause and effect. I doubt that a real chemistry set would contain a liquid as toxic as the one shown here.

1980: Birth of Venice?

I’m guessing that this carton is deeply ironic – no authority would have agreed to such an outlandish concept. The founders of the Serene Republic would have had to authorise themselves.

Re: The Pages of Punch

1980: Priority

She has accepted that he is going to be killed. She now is concerned how to drive away from this place. She demands that he should drop the keys although he cannot benefit from this act. Another example of Gallows Humour.
