I don't stand in no queue
EDITORS COMMENTS
- Pooh's Playful Take on Post-War Rationing Queues, Circa 1945 Amidst the somber backdrop of the World War II era, a light-hearted and whimsical image emerges from the pages of history. This charming comic postcard, featuring Winnie-the-Pooh, offers a delightful glimpse into the wartime spirit of resilience and humor that persevered even during the prolonged period of rationing. The scene unfolds with Pooh, the beloved bear, standing confidently outside a shop, a smirk on his face, and a jar of fish in hand. The caption reads, "Pooh! I don't stand in no queue." Rationing had ended, but the habit of queuing had become deeply ingrained in the British populace. This humorous take on the situation showcases the clever wit and innocence of the era. In the background, a group of cute children, dressed in typical 1940s attire, peek curiously from behind ladies in queues, adding to the playful atmosphere. The artist, Regent, masterfully captures the essence of the time with a deft blend of caricature and charm. This postcard, published by Forres, serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of the British people during the war years. The smiling little boy, Pooh, with his fish jar, symbolizes the simple joys and amusing moments that brought levity to an otherwise challenging time. Circa 1945, this image remains a delightful reminder of the unique blend of fun, humor, and innocence that characterized the WWII era.
