Passed some time revisiting the excellent @BritishCartoonA in order to post some depictions of @ChelseaFC through the decades, starting with this Giles classic from Nov 1945 (1/6)

Next, a typical narrative-style cartoon report of Chelsea 0 Sunderland 0 in 1937. ( @BritishCartoonA) (2/6)

Of course, most cartoons were meant to make fun of clubs’ reputations, such as this one from 1976. ( @BritishCartoonA) (3/6)

Others tried to reflect amusingly on recent events on the field. This one appeared between the 1970 FA Cup final and replay. ( @BritishCartoonA) (4/6)

Fans going out of their way to follow their team is a common source of a punchline, such as this one from before the 1972 League Cup final. ( @BritishCartoonA) (5/6)

And, finally, the beloved Chelsea Pensioners make an irreverent appearance, ahead of the 1967 ‘Cockney’ FA Cup final. ( @BritishCartoonA) (6/6)
