Innocent Times, Part 4

…in which we continue to look at earlier, more innocent times.  That said, some of the cartoons below were not so innocent — and probably couldn’t get published today.

Which. of course, is why I’m posting them.

From the H.R. files:

In Medical Ethics:

And in the Groves of Academe:

Another from H.R.:

In Sporting News:

And In Flagrante Delicto:

See you all next month.


Forgot to mention:  if you want to see the first couple of these, use the “Search” function at the top of the page and just type: Innocent Times then hit Enter.

Classic Beauty: Greta Garbo

Aaahhhh, Garbo.  Nobody who has seen Anna Karenina  or Ninotchka  could avoid falling in love with her, as I most certainly did.

Here’s the reason for my infatuation with her.  Apart from her astonishing beauty and sexy voice, she was someone after my own heart in that when she grew tired of her own celebrity and the whole Hollywood thing, she told everyone to take a hike and lived a life of her own, in seclusion.

My kinda gal.

Classic Beauty: Capucine

Okay, I’m going to come right out and admit that I have had a love affair with the exquisite French actress and model Capucine ever since I saw first saw her in The Pink Panther.  Why?

Well, apart from her beauty, it was her glamor, elegance, grace and did I say beauty?  I mean, how much more does one need to worship a woman?

She was once called “the French Grace Kelly”, but I prefer those smoldering French features over the ice-blonde Kelly any day of the week.

Go ahead:  argue with me, I dare you.

Classic Beauty: Martha Hyer

Hmmmm another Texas girl, this time Fort Worth’s Martha Hyer, the impossibly-beautiful ice-cold blonde actress whose career spanned the late 1940s through the late 1960s.

Yeah, for the Safety Nazis complaining about the finger on the trigger:  relax, Francis.  It’s a single-action un-cocked revolver.

Anyway, someone that beautiful can hold a gun any damn way she wants.
