Mayne, William Thomas, 1910-1988 :Equal pay for women... [1950s-1960s]

Shows five frames. In the first frame, a man says to his wife, 'So... when you get equal pay, we'll be able to live reasonably on TWO 40 hour weeks... until prices rise to equal the pay rise.' In the second frame, a woman is down on one knee, proposing to a man. The woman says, 'But, darling, I'm making fifteen hundred a year... have my own home and car... what more could you want?' The third frame shows a man wearing an apron and pouring a cup of tea. He says to another man, 'When we reckoned that two of us could live as cheaply as one, we didn't consider six of us... so...' In the fourth frame, a woman is asking an older woman for permission to marry her son. The final frame shows a man who is opening his wife's paypacket as he prepares dinner. The man is angry, and is saying to his wife, 'Now, look. This is five bob short! Have you been out soaking tea with the girls again?'
