96: Stan McMurtry


in “Punch”, 20 March 1968

A joke taking a spin on other hackneyed jokes about an ever-increasingly permissive society. The 60s saw many cartoonists do the same joke: a school child coming through home and telling its shocked parent, “We did sex today”. Well, this one takes it the next step on. Homosexuality with the obligatory “sweetie”.
