Abstract
Investigating the presentation of women and men in mass-media cartoons involving computers can help to elucidate the reproduction of social conceptions of gender roles in technology use. Here, analyses of 211 computer cartoons from Punch, from 1946 to 1982, are discussed. Cartoon genres for human/computer relationships, unemployment and marriage broking, and explicitly sexist cartoons are considered. Overall contents analysis suggests that, in computer cartoons of this period, women are less well represented and more passive than men.
