1988: Tactfulness

Mindful of the conflict between smokers and their detractors she is delicately exploring the possibility that she will be permitted to smoke.

1982: Rewriting the bible with a modern perspective

This cartoon is seeking to modernise the story of Joshua bringing down the walls of Jericho. A drum is set to replace the ram’s horns as described in the bible.

1982: Jane Austen’s darker side?

This joke is based on the utter absurdity of the sentiment expressed by the publisher.

1982: Brave or reckless?

I don’t think that the cartoonist is that impressed by the unrealistic expectation of the man in the dinghy.

1982: The façade is peeling

It seems a bit difficult to get the joke here. The wallpaper is peeling so the stone slabs are not real. How does that help the inmates?

Presumably, they could easily break through thin, perhaps not very strong walls.

Or the walls are plasterboard?

1982: Experimenting with mice

Experimenting with animals is no longer considered to be ethical. Here the joke consists of a fantasy that a Mickey Mouse double should just wander out tunefully. The scientists look impressed.

1982: Outside the crematorium

I think that a garden type of setting is the preferred milieu for scattering the ashes of the deceased. The man in this cartoon looks entirely out of place.
