cartoons I don't get 23

Stag, Fall 1941

If they're making a joke about her having big breasts in a mens magazine, you'd think it would be someone less matronly. I'm just being devil's advocate here.
Punch January 28, 1920

Are “fence” and “gate” two separate things in England, with fences having vegetation? Was one maybe a war term?
Hello Buddies, 1950's
Bo Brown

The “record your own voice” booth is never mentioned in any listicles of things that don't exist anymore. I don't know if this is a “nagging wife” gag or if he'll miss her, if he doesn't really want to be there.
Cavalade, February 1942
Hello Buddies, May 1955
Joe Buresch

I get this one, it's just a bad drawing. The axe should be coming from the other direction and if they had to add a second color (which was probably added by the editor and not intended to be such by the artist) maybe it should have been ib the target or shirt and bikini patterns. As it is it looks like a “phantom” hatchet. And maybe they should have arrows too. I know the archery set is just a pretense for their boning, but the arrows would be a nice cover-up for their charade.
Jest, circa 1942

Another extra-marital affair joke, though usually the man doesn't have one of his trysts with his wife right there.
Life February 16, 1905

He usually sees her with fat legs when he's drunk?
Man's True Danger, September 1969
High, November 1958
Misspelling aside, what exactly is a lingerie demonstration?
Virgil Partch
Playboy, May 1968

I think it's that he's shooting balls into her cleavage, though human flesh would be more malleable than the regular solid hole used in miniature golf.
The Dude, May 1959

A variation that old joke “How do porcupine's make love?” “Very carefully.”, but I would think the joke would be too old even for then.
Judge October 9, 1909
Oscar Howard New Yorker February 21, 1925
