EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and feast your eyes on this delightful 20th-century comic postcard titled 'Putting on Weight at the Seaside'! This humorous and lighthearted image captures the fun and playful spirit of a British seaside holiday. The scene shows a group of women, some thin and others decidedly more voluptuous, enjoying a day at the beach. The caption reads, "Those who can't, help those who can!" as one woman playfully helps another to 'put on weight' by pushing her into the water. The women are all smiling and laughing, clearly enjoying the camaraderie and joy of their holiday experience. This charming postcard is reminiscent of the iconic 'Donald McGill' style of comic postcards, which were popular in the UK from the early 1900s through to the mid-1960s. McGill's postcards were known for their saucy humor and double entendres, but this particular card leans more towards the light-hearted and fun side of the spectrum. Whether you're looking to add a touch of nostalgia to your home decor or simply want to bring a smile to someone's face, this 'Putting on Weight at the Seaside' postcard is sure to do the trick. Imagine the delight of receiving this card in the mail or finding it tucked away in a box of keepsakes. It's a reminder that even in the simplest moments, there's always room for a little fun and laughter!
