1992: A difficult choice?
With end of the cold war the ‘ban the bomb’ campaign was surely over? Something tells me that the cartoonist was not in sympathy with the movement. Today the sort of people who supported CND tend to be very concerned with climate change.
1983: Seeking dietary enlightenment
The overweight pilgrim has climbed several mountains in order to find the right way to lose weight. She has clearly chosen the wrong guru.
1983: Inattentive bartender
He ought to have noticed that this really is an unusual customer.
1983: Confronting ‘The bomb’
This is a reminder of the massive concern about the danger of nuclear bombs. With the end of the cold war we were all able to move on.
1983: Essential supplies for a builders’ site
This cartoon makes an observation that is just as relevant today.
Good one 
1983: A time of frequent hijacks
They were frequent occurrences back then but now fortunately they are very rare.
1983: A frustrated conjurer
Jenkins should stick to the day job.
1983: Identity parade
Whodunit indeed. Could have been any one of them.
More likely, all of them.
1983: A matter of perception
This is an unusually reflective cartoon. Obviously, their lives really are lousy. To question that by blaming Western Media is in itself biased.
1985: Circumstantial evidence
Parasites on your back can reveal your past. The rhino on the right appears to display the unlikely history of visiting the Arctic.
All of the cartoonists featured in Punch magazine are geniuses in my view. They never fail to raise a laugh.
1984: A philosophical statement
Not the most effective chat-up line.
1984: Progress?
This is an unlikely scenario. What is the cartoonist getting at? Is this pro, or anti-feminist? It’s hard to tell. If it’s pro then its not in very good taste.
1984: Dilemma in Sherwood Forest
This cartoon is another example of transposing modern concepts into situation set in the past, literature or biblical sources. A real Robin Hood would not consider such a question. The rich were surely fair game whether newly acquired or not.
1984: May the sauce be with you
Both the solicitor and his client are the sort of trouble that the on-duty police can well do without.
1988: Unruly school kids
Violence against teachers was a feature of the late eighties but the cartoonist has committed a gross exaggeration. I’m not sure about the current situation. There certainly will be differences between individual schools.
1984: All in a day’s work
The receptionist has already made the right diagnosis.
