EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Misunderstood Medical Moment: A Pretty Woman and a Perplexed Doctor 2. Description: This charming comic postcard, hailing from the 20th century, captures the essence of humorous misunderstandings between a pretty woman and a puzzled doctor. The scene unfolds in a cozy bedroom setting, with the woman lying on the bed, looking up at the doctor with a quizzical expression. 3. Background: The doctor, with a stethoscope around his neck and a look of concentration on his face, is feeling the woman's pulse. However, the situation takes an unexpected turn when the woman, suffering from a bout of constipation, asks, "Doctor, do you feel that? I think I have a palpitation!" 4. Humour: The humour in this comic postcard lies in the double meaning of the word "palpitation," which can refer to both a heart condition and the sensation of cramps or spasms. The doctor, seemingly oblivious to the woman's true concern, continues to focus on her pulse, leading to a hilarious misunderstanding. 5. Artwork: The artwork on this postcard is reminiscent of the classic British humour style, with simple yet expressive illustrations that convey the comedic situation effectively. The use of exaggerated facial expressions and body language adds to the overall fun and lighthearted tone. 6. Cultural Significance: This comic postcard is a delightful representation of the British sense of humour during the 20th century. It showcases the importance of miscommunication and misunderstandings in creating amusing situations, as well as the role of wordplay and double meanings in comedy. 7. Conclusion: A Misunderstood Medical Moment: A Pretty Woman and a Perplexed Doctor is a delightful comic postcard that brings a smile to one's face with its humorous take on a common misunderstanding. The charming artwork and clever use of language make it a must-have for any collection of vintage comic postcards.
