what a wonderful illustration by the private eye contributor

I love the way this cartoon was regarded as satire in 1963, I can't but help notice the ageist/sexist connotations.

Despite that I think its great and as a posting virgin I wanted to post something rare for fellow avengers fans.

Is that Steed doing the ironing?

(And Cathy had leather underwear. Who knew?)

It's interesting that one of Honor's books is "How To Stay Young" considering she wrote "How To Look and Feel Half Your Age" a few decades later.

Thanks for posting that. Welcome to the forum!

Am I being thick? What cartoon? That link is to a feature about an art gallery... but no cartoon? *puzzled*

It took me a while to find it too. You have to click on one of the pictures at the bottom of the page.
