Army/Navy Fun Parade, April 1953
Is it that she's wearing a nightie in a restaurant? Why is she wearing high heels? If someone's weaing a nightie, wouldn't they have slippers too?

I guess it's that she's moved by sculptures that are abstract, but if I saw this same sculpture without the label “mother and child” I'd know that was what it was supposed to be.
Esquire, June 1934
I think it's that they're cops on the beat of some kind of Inspiration Point and are more impressed by the car than arresting the couple making out in it. (or maybe somebody's masturbating. Who knows? Who cares? The point is that whatever is going on in there is illegal in the community). I've never known cops to wear bowties though, so I was confused at first, and thought they were service station employees. I've never seen service station employees wear badges or carry guns either, and I've never seen a gun with “ears”.

He followed her all the way to bed. That's a criminal offense. What's the statute of limitations?
Side note: Even when a woman has no shoes on, note she still has the illusion of high heels. I wonder if that's the decision of the cartoonist or the art director.

How did he get to there to get the earpiece?
Nugget, February 1956
Did she have a bag with her the whole time? If so, wouldn't that be a clue as to her ulterior motive?

Is this another person or a doll?

1: The first girl is sad because she broke up with her boyfriend, and the second is consoling her because there are plenty of guys out there?
ReplyDelete2: He's ogling at her because she wore her sheer nightie down to the hotel breakfast.
3: Sending a wire (telegraph message)is expensive, but spending money on an unnecessary expense (someone who doesn't NEED a wire) is foolish. Especially as wires, unlike, say canned goods, are inherently impermanent.
3: She's moved by the THOUGHT of motherhood, even though its an abstract that would (absent the label) not provoke a tearful reaction.
4: They are going at it hard core. Nothing tender about it. His statement is ironic.
5: Basically yes. They couple making out need to be ingenious to manage it in such a small foreign car.
6: It's the form she uses to make clothes. Its object attachment/ transference. Plus, if it gets dented, she won't be able to make clothes that fit her.
7: Yep
8: I can't make out whats happening in the background, so no idea.
9: He can can't reach the mouthpiece, so the other party cannot hear him. He can here THEM, because he's got the speaker to his ear. He got there by standing on the chair.
10: It would. You'd think he would.
11: She can't see over her giant bosom. Hence, the mirror.
12: I think it's supposed to be a doll.
