Nothing changes. Am reading a book from 1916 - a series of sketches taking the mickey out of certain social types. Could have been written today.

the page came up in html and other scripts.
go further back to the Hogarth cartoons or Fielding's books.

there is nothing new under the sun or (in-joke for brits) in The Sun

That was very fun to read! Loved it :)

I have just sent you an email through LJ - could you let me know if you get it?

the one on the top right is a current government poster for binge drinking awareness I swear !

there is a contemporary carttonist who has a strip called Yobettes in the magazine Private Eye and he would recognise these gals

These are priceless. But the one on the lower left disturbs me. Her arms are on backwards. I can make my elbows go forwards like that (yes I just experimented), but if I do, my thumbs end up on the inside, not the outside. So... What exactly are they saying here? Drunkenness leads to having your arms detached at the shoulders and re-inserted backwards, like a mistreated Barbie doll? I am disturbed. Perhaps the naked breasts between the elbows were expected to distract anyone inclined to quibble about anatomical details. Perhaps she was drawn by the ancestors of your Spanish instructors.
"She has drunk too much alcohol."
"Her arms are on backwards."
"Get out the knives."
