Re: The Pages of Punch
I have now exhausted my stock of 1938 cartoons and we now move on to 1960 – still far off but closer to the present day than anything else I have shown.
The Swinging Sixties had not properly started and we see only mild foretastes of things to come. Most of the cartoons display a quite naïve innocence and the following joke is a good example of this tendency.

1960: What Does She Mean?
The ‘expert tuition’ available to the other two leaners is much more to the taste of this learner. Her earnest tutor is too concerned with the way in which she is holding her club. He should be holding her instead.
Politically correct it isn’t. I can’t see this joke going down well in 2016.
