creepy and sexist

Not to be overly crass, but the first picture makes one wonder if the original drawing had the girls hands place elsewhere. Truly bizarre.

Otter : Take it easy, I'm pre-law.
Boon : I thought you were pre-med.

Interesting to look at old cigarette ads, like "not a cough in a carload", more Doctors smoke ...forget the brand...than any other brand.
When I was growing up, all of the doctors we went to smoked, cigarettes were 5c a pack in the service, and free in C rations.

The naked violence implied in the latter two ads is frightening.

I'm sure there was no "Peggy" in the office to offer a dissenting voice

I'm sorry, I think the leopard one is mildly amusing.
And it says "though she was a tiger lady, our hero didn't have to fire a shot to floor her." It's metaphorical. Nothing about knocking her around at all.
The black eye one is very distasteful, I guess I just don't see the 'naked violence' in the tiger one.
