EDITORS COMMENTS
This hilarious comic postcard from the 20th century captures a larger-than-life woman sliding into the sea with a big splash. The British artist Donald McGill certainly knew how to tickle funny bones with his cheeky sense of humor. The plump, red swimsuit-clad lady is slipping and sliding her way into the water, much to the amusement of onlookers.
The scene is filled with double entendres and verbal play, making it a classic example of McGill's witty style. The spotted cap adds an extra touch of whimsy to the already comical image. It's clear that this postcard was meant to bring joy and laughter to whoever received it.
As we look at this vintage print today, we can't help but smile at the sheer silliness and fun captured in this moment. It reminds us of carefree holidays by the seaside, where anything goes and laughter is always welcome.
So let's take a cue from this jolly lady and embrace life with a sense of humor and enjoyment. After all, slipping into the sea might just be the most fun anyone can have on a summer day!
