Sara adjusting a carburettor “My father said girls shouldn’t,” the boy said.
Sara eyed him. “Shouldn’t what?”
He squinted at her, the sun in his eyes. “Do men’s work.”
Sara sighed, cleaned her hands on a rag. “And why shouldn’t they?” It was not her job to set him straight, but what the hell, he seemed a smart.
He shrugged. “Said it’s not—tredditional. Wasn’t like that in the past.”
She smirked “Does your dad hunt mammoths? Because that’s what men did in the past.”
“He’s in insurances.”
“Then tell him to shut his trap. Or get himself a mammoth.” NOTE: this Imaginary Girl is dedicated to the 48% Italian males that think women should not have a job.

Thanks for the tip of the hat to the British Museum. Don’t have the funds or the patience to trudge on over there so this works just fine for me. Here is a link to 3500 caricature sketches drawn for the New York Review of Books since 1963. Quite a variety of characters. Also free, unless you want to order them.
