EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: "Plump Couple in the Sea - Don't Dive on an Empty Stomach!" This delightfully humorous comic postcard from the 20th century portrays a plump couple at the seaside, ready for a dip in the ocean. The woman, with her ample curves and rosy cheeks, is dressed in a striped bathing suit and sun hat, while her husband, equally rotund, dons swim trunks and a pair of goggles. Their expressions are a picture of surprise and shock as they both plunge into the water, only to discover that their empty stomachs have left them buoyant and unable to sink. The man's eyes are wide with disbelief as he floats effortlessly, while the woman's mouth is agape in a silent "Oh!" The caption, "Don't Dive on an Empty Stomach!" adds to the comedic effect, as the couple's misadventure serves as a reminder to all holidaymakers to heed the advice and ensure they've had a hearty meal before taking a dip. This charming postcard captures the essence of a fun and carefree summer holiday by the sea, with its light-hearted humor and relatable situation. The bright colors and bold lines of the illustration bring the scene to life, making it a must-have for any collection of vintage seaside memorabilia.
