EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and humorous cartoon by Bert Thomas, titled "Cartoon, Logic!", captures the spirit of the 1930s and the evolving fashion trends of the time. In the image, a young woman explains to her mother that she rarely sleeps in her bedroom, as she often needs to take off her clothes for swimming in her new skimpy bathing suit. The mother looks shocked and disapproving, while the daughter holds up her bikini-like swimsuit, which was considered quite revealing for the era. The scene takes place at the beach, with a large parasol or umbrella providing shade from the sun. The cartoon plays on the themes of morality and shock, as the mother's reaction to her daughter's swimsuit is exaggerated for comedic effect. The image also highlights the fashionable yet controversial trend of women wearing skimpy bathing suits in public, which was a topic of debate and controversy during the 1930s. The cartoonist, Bert Thomas, masterfully captures the essence of the time with his witty commentary and clever use of visual humor. This print, dated 1933, is a testament to the changing social norms and the evolution of fashion during the 1930s. It is a delightful reminder of a bygone era, and a fascinating glimpse into the past. The cartoon's timeless humor and relevance continue to resonate with audiences today, making it a must-have for anyone interested in the history of fashion, popular culture, or just a good laugh.
