1983: Sarcasm in the office

Information explosion isn’t popular these days as an expression. Modern equivalents could be ‘the information age’ or just ‘the internet’.

1980: Rupert Bear meets his match

We are not expected to admire the old hunter. He is surrounded by the animals he has killed both real and fictional. Rupert Bear is not that well known these days. But in his time, he was a popular figure in children’s books.

All that hunter needs now is Paddington and Pooh, and he'll have the full set!

1980: In a different time zone…

This is one of many Punch jokes which insert modern facts into an earlier time scene. It is difficult to imagine how a knocking sound could really have occurred as shown.

Re: The Pages of Punch

1981: The curse of Tutankhamun

Here we see a little play on facts. The idea of a curse on intruders of the pyramid is linked with the rather young age of the dead Tutankhamun.
