Every parent has fought a sweater and lost at least once. In this George Smith gag from the May 22, 1948 Saturday Evening Post, a determined father is pulling a sweater down over his young son, head first. Mom keeps knitting and offers one calm, well-timed tip. Off to one side, a baseball bat, ball and glove wait for the boy to get free.
