"Aw, come on Sis, Mom said I could wear that outfit tonight" - Page

"No Steven, you can't wear these petticoats until after we take our ride. You are a closet prissy." - Kent

Sissy Dahli writes:
"This is from an old 1942 wartime cartoon titled 'Blitz Wolf.'
  It may be the only tank I've ever seen with a petticoat."

 

(below) In 2003, on one of the groups, there was some discussion of the  British banning of petticoats in the classroom during 1961-62.  Below, a cartoon, from Bee, that speaks to this.
