Zoo Funnies #9 (1955) - Nyoka

[tirepanted3]

A woman steals the clothes of an Egyptian princess, while Nyoka watches, helplessly bound and gagged.

trading clothes, all the time trading clothes


why on Earth do they trade clothes? in this case the bad girl, Fleurigia, she almost kills the Cleopatra's daughter by stoning her, then she steals the Princess' clothes, AND at that very moment Fleurigia re-dresses her victim to save her modesty

[esercito sconfitto]

...this leads us to the real question: where is the 'patient zero'?

WHEN, in which case , 'uniform stealers' stopped redressing their victims?

[tirepanted3]

Redressing happens sometimes in Golden Age scenes, but it wasn't the rule. It usually happens when the victim probably wouldn't be wearing anything under her dress. (In this case, Cleopatra's daughter probably had nothing on under the green dress, since she's from a time period when underwear didn't exist.)

The earliest example of non-redressing I could find comes from this comic (posted on the site a few months ago). Fran Fraser steals a white dress from another woman, who is later seen in her underwear: viewtopic.php?f=192&t=3212
