Shape Of Things To Come Issue Title Is I Likes That (1942)

Part of issue I LIKES THAT! Title reads: “1942? 1950?“ Pathe Studios, London. Very quirky item - I think it’s supposed to be about passing of time and future. Sequence shot in silhouettes: man and woman embrace, we then see woman pushing a pram. Dramatised sequence set in Egyptian times. An Egyptian girl tries to buy sweet cakes from Ramasese the shopkeeper. She pays using a stone ration book, Ramasese (sp.?) has to use a hammer and chisel to chip away coupons. Various shots of glamorous woman buying fabric from male shopkeeper. Instead of a paper ration book she has coupons tattooed on her back. The shopkeeper has to stamp the tattoo. As she leaves the shop, she says seductively: “Come up and stamp me sometime“. Various shots of female munitions workers in factory. Animated cartoon of man in baggy dressing gown and woman holding pair of scissors. The man transforms into a gigantic ammunition shell (very bizarre). Cartoon of housewife shooting sultanas into Christmas puddin
