...apart from that it is conceived and drawn with spirit. "All the Law Allows" is a cleverly sketched caricature of the lesser gods at the Office. The centre piece is frowsy. The other drawings are not remarkable. To repeat a criticism made last year, I would advise the Lampoon artists to study the technique of the black and white work in such French comic papers as "Frou-Frou" and "Le Rire...
