Manic Monday--You've (Not) Come A Long Way, Baby!!

It may have been the 1970s, with "women's lib" and all that, but there's still certain things you had to do in a certain way...

WOW!!

But...

The title of this one-pager?

I suspect that the letterer should have bolded, italicized, and double-underlined the "HIM," just to properly put across the author's intent.

And no, I have no idea what our manly man is wearing around his neck. Maybe it's a time travel device to take him back to an era when women would never dare to usurp a male prerogative like proposing marriage...
