Cartoons: Not-So-Great Dates

Diana Denny — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 14:04:42 +0000

We may wish to forget the awkward evenings of our lives, but you just know Post cartoonists won’t let us. They tell tales of dates that didn’t quite work out as planned.

"I'm not boring you with all this talk about myself, am I?"
From May/Jun 1995

From Nov/Dec 2000

"Are you trying to tell me that you want to postpone the wedding?"
From Jan/Feb 1999

"Hi, this is Martha from OnStar, and Doug, you are an insensitive pig!"
From Jan/Feb 2001

"You know, this evening would be a lot more romantic if you'd quit screaming, 'We're going to die! We're going to die!'"
From Jan/Feb 1995

"Oh sure, I cook at home all the time—want more ketchup packets?"
From Jan/Feb 1995

"Judy, the 'Saturday Evening Pest' is here."
From Jan/Feb 1995

The Post has a rich history when it comes to cartoons. We thought it would be fun to feature a few from 1954. Enjoy!

The Seven Ages of Love

Post Editors — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 19:53:01 +0000

From the December 31, 1966 issue.

Now the 11th generation of Americans has been born; now it is starting through the fundamental phases of life. Each phase prepares for the next: The love the infant learns in his mother’s arms helps him become a loving child; puppy love introduces the adolescent to a deeper kind. So natural is the process that we assume it, yet often the transitions are difficult. Many of us falter, even fail. But just as every failure spreads to affect other lives, so does every success, and there is in fact much love in this land. On these pages are seven glimpses of today’s Americans as, in their own manner, they obey the ancient urges to share the prime intimacies of life and to send posterity into the future they will never see.

Going… Going…

It was their first date.
They went for a ride;
His convertible shiny and new.
They drove to the country.
He put the top down
So they could see more of the view.
Her beautiful hair
Was blown by the wind;
That’s when he began to regret it.
The romance was ruined.
Her hair broke the mood
When he had to get out and go get it!
