These days most people associate naughty uniformed schoolgirls with Japanese anime, but let's go back to the early 1940's where Cambridge born illustrator,
Ronald Searle took a simple, hilarious concept and
"...crystalized a demented joke to such a degree that it actually became accepted into English mythology," quote
Kaye Webb (aka,
Mrs. Ronald Searle.) Published by
Penguin Books in 1959,
"The St. Trinian's Story" contains the whole ghastly dossier, and below are just a handful of the best, most outrageously violent,
Charles Addams-esque moments as the girls go wild! To find out more about
Searle and
St. Trinian's (including the many great film adaptations) click

These illos are too damn cool!
