BEST OF PUNCH CARTOONS: 2000 Humour Classics INTRO BY HELEN WALASEK Book Number: 71640 Product format: Hardback A very British institution for over 160 years, Punch was the world's most celebrated magazine of humour and satire, imitated, parodied and pirated but never bettered. It published some of the finest comic writers in the English language from William Thackeray to P. G. Wodehouse and Alan Coren, while its legendary political cartoons by giants like Tenniel and Partridge swayed governments of the day. Like tasty plums in a pudding, here are witty cartoons from the pens of the great Leech, du Maurier, Phil May, H. M. Bateman, Pont, E. H. Shepard, Fougasse, Emett, Anton, Hoffnung, ffolkes, Thelwell, Searle, Heath, and out great friends Tony Husband and Tony Reeve. Deric's favourite is on page 417, a Bill Tidy 1968 cartoon. Polar bear arrives at the Steam Ship Company Ltd and asks: 'Yes, but is there any news of the iceberg?' He says that the poet Les Barker has very recently picked up on this old joke. The oldies are the goodies. Arranged by eras 1841-1913, Through the Wars, the 60s and 70s to the 80s and Beyond covering the magazine's most celebrated and zany themes, caricatures, the Great Exhibition of 1851, early motoring, the space race, new technology, holidays, mind doctors and finally Lemmings. For all with a very British sense of humour, first time discounted. 608 large glamorous pages, 10" x 11½". Published price: £30 Bibliophile price: £20.00
