[Dimbo]

Think you mean no. 38 and my answer does not start with a C

[mazie]

do you need the phrase and the magazine Lottie?

[gen2]

The cartoon was called "True Humility" by George du Maurier, and was originally published in Punch, 1895


Yes it starts with a C but doesn't end in N

[Tallulah!]

Do you mean the phrase begins with c?
My magazine begins with a different letter. I googled these words - cartoon 1895 magazine - to find my answer. It was the fourth item on the page.

[gen2]

I looked up this Wiki article

These clues are a bit like the curates egg!

[Tallulah!]

So gen2 why did you give an actual answer when Lottiegirl was asking for any clues?

[mazie]

good in parts ;o)

[swannbaker]

Surely , providing the actual answer is the best clue in the world . Besides , it seems clues were requested for Question 18 , not the Punch question .
