In my humble opinion, not too shabby for a gag and drawing that's almost 42 years old.
It seems to me now that, in my early cartoons for The Wall Street Journal and other financial publications, I was having a lot of fun with women's ignorance of the technicalities of the stock market and of money matters in general. That's not very true these days, and it's certainly not very p.c. — I doubt if I could get away with a silly gag like this today.
This is another cartoon that I completely lost track of until I found it in a search through old Wall Street Journals at the library. Good to see it again, after all these years.
I had re-drawn the gag, though, and with a slightly different caption, it appeared in Selling Power magazine in 1991.
(That might have been possible in 2002. Today, impossible — absolutely everybody has a cell phone.)
