Larry Flynt, noted American pornographer (Hustler magazine) and troublemaker. He's in a wheelchair because he was wounded and paralyzed in an assassination attempt.

Sorry about that, I'm usually careful to put them in my "Used" folder, BUT I am getting old - especially today as I am now 77 ?
'Ere's another.............
Well, it's taken me awhile, and I don't know why I hadn't posted one of our local cartoonist before...............

Was this a topical response to something on a particular day?
Maybe - from the 1970s (June 6th 1972 to be precise), and could well apply today.

I've been thinking about this for an hour, and I still don't get it.
What am I missing?
Presumably the husband has bought some naughty postcards. Beautifully drawn by Giles as you'd expect, but probably decades out of touch even then.
Yes. Mucky pictures or cards confiscated but the captain is going to go through them later.
It's clearly, as suggested in previous posts, something that was topical at the time - as was often the case with Giles (used to get his annuals for Christmas every year). However, I have looked through my various record books (eg Chronicle of the 20th Century) and had a good google(!) but can find nothing seemingly relevant.
