The Surprised Plumber
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A classic 20th-century comic postcard from the Mary Evans Picture Library brings a hearty dose of humor to the everyday mundane with this scene of a plump, middle-aged woman in a purple frump of a dress, standing in shock and surprise on her doorstep. The man at her feet, a plumber with a bag full of tools, looks equally taken aback as he points to the drain cover at her feet, presumably the source of the unexpected issue. The woman's exaggerated expression of disbelief and the plumber's quizzical look add to the fun and whimsy of this comic postcard. The man's tools and bag spill out behind him, hinting at the chaos that may have ensued during his visit. The woman's apron, which she clutches protectively around her, adds to the humorous contrast between the two characters. This postcard, reminiscent of the works of Donald McGill and other British comic postcard artists of the time, is a delightful reminder of the lighter side of life. The unexpected encounter between the woman and the plumber is sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone who comes across this charming piece of visual humor.
