301. World Without Women Cartoon

May 18, 2011

Q: There was a cartoon called, “What the World would look like without Women” in one of the old issues. It showed a cross section of a house with boys skateboarding down the roof, old men drinking whiskey everywhere and an underground storage tank (that fed the faucets) being filled by a tanker truck full of whiskey, among other things. Might you know which issue that one was in?

A: “What Life Would Be like Without Women”, drawn by Ted Enik, appeared in ‘Planet of the Living Women’ by P.J. O’Rourke and John Hughes. And that was in the February ’79 (Heterosexuality) issue. (Thanks to Cartoon Carol for the answer!)

I have been trying to locate a copy of this cartoon ever since my daughters were teenagers. Their father and I remember it well from college days. Glad we're not the only ones! Thanks guys
