unwoke cartoons, part 3

As has been said elsewhere, you can't criticize people for not being “woke” when the concept of “woke” hadn't even been invented yet, and these cartoons prove it. It's 2018 now, and no editor would consider any of these concepts, but not that long ago subjects like these were considered normal in mainstream magazines, it's the sex or allusions thereof that were considered the shocking element.

Again, I feel the need to offer a trigger warning, but can't say what for because it would ruin the surprise for everybody else. I realize I and at least 80% of my audience are privileged enough to laugh at subject matter contrary to our own beliefs while still empathizing with everyone else. I'm pre-emptively covering my tracks too. This is the last in the series of gag cartoons too racist, sexist, homophobic, or just too 'ist' and 'ic' for other categories. The others are here and here.

I might get this if I knew who this was. I think the joke is that a television personality is covering an ancient biblical event.

This caricature by Miguel Covarrubias is of someone. Damned if I know who, though.

In the cartoon world, you'd think there were more topless restaurants than the one or two that existed in real life and they were places that married couples went.

Fling, 4 of 4

Sorry it had to end sometime. According to the graphs that only I can see, my blog was extremely popular when I'd post cartoons from Fling, a skin magazine I've never actually seen a copy of. I found these cartoons at an auction site on the internet. The past three installments werehere, here, and here.

Sorry I can't make the cartoons bigger. This is the size they were.

This first batch was by Bruce Cochran!
Notice editor's lines around the woman's breasts, suggesting the artist change the size. Presumably bigger, judging from the rest of the cartoons.

The protest sign appears to have had a different slogan pasted over it for print.
