Ridiculous Scottish Comic Postcard

A quite utterly ridiculous Scottish Comic Postcard, where a couple are hoodwinked into believing that the actions of a (not very) nearby donkey are actually the amorous advances of their partner! The tickling of the gentlemans whiskers on Janes face are courtesy of Dobbins tail and the loving words whispered into Sandys ear are the braying of the aforementioned mule... Date: 1909

EDITORS COMMENTS
A Quintessentially Scottish Scene of Misidentified Affection: 1909 Comic Postcard This charming, yet utterly ridiculous, Scottish comic postcard from 1909 captures a moment of hilarious confusion between a couple, as they mistake the actions of a nearby donkey for the amorous advances of their respective partners. The scene is set on a quaint wooden bench, nestled amidst the picturesque landscapes of Scotland. The gentleman, Sandy, is seated on the right, wearing a traditional Scottish kilt and sporran. His face is contorted in delight as he experiences the tickling sensation of Dobbins' tail on his whiskers. Meanwhile, his partner, Jane, is seated on the left, her eyes closed in bliss as she leans in to receive the whispered words of affection from her beloved. Unbeknownst to her, the tender whispers are actually the braying of the mule, Dobbins, who is just inches away. The couple's identities are further blurred as they both reach out to touch each other, their hands almost meeting in the middle. The playful scene is a delightful example of the silly and light-hearted humor that was popular in comic postcards of the era. The postcard's caption, which reads "A Quite Utterly Ridiculous Scottish Comic Postcard," adds to the overall amusement, highlighting the absurdity of the situation and the joy that can be found in the smallest of misunderstandings. This postcard is a wonderful reminder of the simple pleasures and the power of imagination, as well as the importance of keeping a sense of humor, even in the most unexpected of circumstances.
