DescriptionCover illustration. This cover cartoon from 'Sea-Pie' magazine shows two British sailors and what appears to be an RAF officer breaking through the crust of a pie, baked in a willow pattern bowl. The cover is subtitled 'FULL OF HOT STUFF'. The first cover of 'Sea-Pie' set the tone for the contents of this and future issues of the magazine. In cartoons and advertisements British servicemen were portrayed variously as witty, kind, gallant or handsome, always in a positive and sometimes heroic light. The phrase 'hot stuff' on the cover is of course a euphemism alluding to British servicemen as the sex symbols of their day.
