The Football Pools Predicament
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A 20th Century Comic Postcard Charmer! Delve into the delightful world of British humour with this charming comic postcard from the 20th century, titled "The Football Pools Predicament." This image showcases a young, attractive couple engrossed in a serious discussion, surrounded by a cluttered living room filled with football pools forms and various paraphernalia. The man, with a furrowed brow and a determined expression, intently studies the football pools form in his hand. His girlfriend, with a playful smile and a knowing look, leans over him, pointing to a particular number on the form. The double entendre in the title adds an extra layer of amusement, as the phrase "drawers" can refer both to the undergarments and the football pools coupons. The couple's body language and facial expressions convey a sense of excitement and anticipation, as they eagerly fill out their forms, hoping for a winning combination of home and away results. The fallen knickers in the foreground, seemingly out of place, add a touch of whimsy and light-heartedness to the scene. This comic postcard, reminiscent of the works of renowned British comic artists like Donald McGill, is a fun and humorous glimpse into the past, capturing the spirit of camaraderie and excitement surrounding the football pools in the 20th century. With its clever wordplay and charming illustrations, this postcard is sure to bring a smile to your face and transport you to a bygone era.
