Catching up on reading at the weekend and this FT Magazine looked so familiar:
FT Weekend Magazine with tennis champion Kim Clijsters on the cover
And then I remembered this one:
From Punch 15 Dec 1954: 'Her' a magazine spoof with spot colour by Norman Mansbridge
Must be something about the eyes, the position on the page and that shade of red!
It was part of a 5-page skit on women’s magazines by Norman Mansbridge in Punch. Perhaps not an everyday name now, but he was a Punch cartoonist before and after the war, a navy war artist, and later cartoonist for the Daily Sketch. He retired from there to add another string to his bow – cartoon trips for Fleetway and IPC comics, some of which ran for 20 years – among them ‘Fuss Pot’, ‘Tough Nutt and Softly Centre’ and ‘Mummy’s Boy’.
