It's a metaphor for something

'I said: I AM THE GRANDFATHER OF FUCK!' But they didn't understand him. From up there, they never would.

Secretly, the house hated Betsy

Betsy and Timmy loved riding through the woods on the back of their magical flying house, until the day they flew too close to an overhanging branch. Timmy was able to duck out of the way in time, but Betsy would never walk again.

Outdated Pop Culture Reference

'What's wrong, Bessie?' 'Oh, Timmy! He said he'd never give me up, never let me down, never run around and... and... but he did, Timmy! He did!' 'Ginger cunt.'

Mock the Past: Vintage Racism 3

Vintage Racism 3

Um, yeah. Wow. I'm... I'm just going to stop with the vintage racism now.

Let's instead lighten the mood by pointing out that this image (the first panel of a comic strip entitled "Sambo, Sue and Jolly Golly", by the way) and the two before it all came from the following 1940 children's annual:

Uncle Jack's Joy Book?

Uncle Jack's Joy-Book? Enough of the unsavoury old-time prejudice -- let's get back to some good, clean paedophile references!

From offensive Asian stereotypes to offensive African stereotypes:

I should mention that this one is from the same book as yesterday's -- you didn't have to look far for your racism in the 40s.

Mock the Past: Vintage Racism 1

Famly Values

'Now Timmy, there's no need to resort to those masturbation pants for your sexual thrills. Why don't you do the respectable thing and marry the first girl you take a liking to -- say, Hettie here -- then you can demand sex whenever you want.' 'Whenever I want?' 'Yes, Timmy. It's a man's right.'

Return to the Tree

Eventually, the creationists learned to argue from a position of mutual respect. Their dogs, however, retained their taste for human flesh and knack for treeing their quarry. 'Damn it! I should never have evolved them to act that way.' 'No, you still haven't quite got it. Here, let's get to safety, then we can go over phenotypic plasticity...'
