As promised: the Gibson Girl plays football.



I don't know how clear the image is, so here's the gist: the shrimpy fellow at the right is still carrying the football. However, the Amazon on the left is probably going to tackle him and take the ball away within the next five frames or so. No, that's not at all Freudian. What are you talking about?

(It's totally Freudian. An uneasiness about women's growing self-assertion underlies a lot of Gibson Girl images, as see below.)

Okay, I love the woman in the background.

"You ladies clearly got this; Imma fix my hair real quick."

No reason to head into battle without looking absolutely fabulous!

Especially given that the opposing team will totally need comforting after this. If you know what I mean.

Gads, I love both of these. They say so very, very much.

Doesn't it, though? I think someone could publish a fascinating coffee table book analyzing Gibson Girls.
