Puzzle Description:
Another example of Cockney rhyming slang. Sometimes the original meaning of a rhyming slang gets forgotten over time. Yes, "raspberry tart" = "fart". Example: "He blew a raspberry". (Never "SHE blew a raspberry")

He looks surprised at himself. Might have just slipped out!#6: Evelyn D (Mistraluna) on Dec 29, 2017
Really Robert? Very unexpected, but then again, you are a boy after all.#7: Spot (Pspaughtamus) on Aug 20, 2020 [SPOILER]
Huh. I had understood the term "to blow a raspberry" to mean to make that noise with your mouth, a Bronx cheer. I had always wondered where the raspberry came in, this explains it. Thanks!#8: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Jun 7, 2021 [SPOILER]
Superb depiction of a cartoon fart! Especially the look he's giving us ...
