Yes, the slip and fall division of the firm would be the division that deals with personal injuries, so this is a play on that. But I don’t see any play on “fall.” Maybe Sanderman should have been portrayed as tottering unsteadily on high heels.
Geezer response: In the mid- to late-sixties, it was fashionable for young women to wear hairpieces that made them appear to have long hair in back. I was only a little brother then, but I believe these were called ‘falls’. So, this cartoon could have been even more feminized!

B.A. That was a very kind take. Kind of.

Whoever did the coloring missed the chance to render this even more confusing by making it a pink slip.
(In addition to wearing a slip, maybe Sanderman approves employee’s leaves of absence?)

Shouldn’t he also have a long hairpiece ?

Seasonal work, then. If “slip” gets a totally different meaning, so does “fall”.

Shouldn’t the slip be enough? :-P
