Studies in Crap Treats You To “Over Sexteen” And Its NSFW 1951 Cartoon Boob Fake-Out!
Each Thursday, your Crap Archivist brings you the finest in forgotten
and bewildering crap culled from area basements, thrift stores, estate
sales and flea markets. I do this for one reason: Knowledge is power.
Over Sexteen
Author: Contributors to the ABC Freight Forwarding Company Newsletter
Publisher: Grayson Publishing
Date: 1951
Discovered at: Prairie Village Estate Sale
The Cover Promises: “Prudes Won’t Think It Funny!” Also: Prudes talk like Bizarro Super-Man!
Representative Quote:
“He made a perfect 36 on the golf course today.”
“Nine holes?”
“No. Fifth Avenue model.”
In the days before everything was dirty, dirtiness itself was often the joke. In once-scandalous jokebooks like Over Sexteen and its sequels — all written by men more horny horny than marble-eating hippos are hungry hungry — what at first appears innocent always turns out to be dirty.
A typical joke runs, “He bought his girl a bicycle and now she peddles it all over town.”
Also dirty: the sweet science of boxing.
See, in 1951 pre-marital sex was exactly like boxing. You would hide in your corner, pummel each other and hope to win on points. Also, spectators could only differentiate the participants by trunk color.
Dirtier cartoons await you after the jump!
