More,more, more (How d'ya like it,how d'ya like it)
For the remainder of 1937, and into 1938 and beyond, Jane would continue to be thrust into a myriad of situations where she (and in th coming years, some of her accquaintances) would find themselves in increasingly embarrassing states of undress.
Figure 6 (2 September 1937) is a direct sequel to the events of late August, and would lead to Jane embarking on a career as an artist's model, a trade that would serve her well during the war years.
Figure 7 and 7a (11 September 1937) finds Our Jane dealing with uninvited guests while she's in the bath, something that happens to her a *lot* during this early period, and incrasing in frequency into the war years and beyond.
Our next illustration (Fig. 8, 2 October 1937) finds one of Jane's friends in the midst of a striptease act---AT A CHURCH!! Even though our Jane is fully dressed, she stills suffers extreme embarrassment in this situation.
(I've also included page 20 of The Daily Mirror for 2October{fig. 8a} to show how the paper oriented their comics in those days, with perrennial childhood favorite Pip, Squeak and Wilfred at the top, and the increasingly saucy Jane's Journal at the bottom, a rather jarring juxposition...kinda like playing Barney and Friends back-to-back with Sex and The City, don't you think?)
