A Whip At The Harem Auction
Presumably the whip is mostly symbolic as these harem slaves are put through their display paces for potential buyers, but an auctioneer needs to be able to reach out and “touch” a surly girl now and then, doesn’t he?
The caption reads “Look, buddy, I want to see what I’m buying!” The cartoon is from the December 1965 issue of Gentleman magazine. I’m trying to convince myself that the cartoonist simply couldn’t be bothered to draw fingers or toes very well. Otherwise, the whole scene takes on a very creepy alternate-worlds lizard-men fantasy vibe…
