Ouch! A Day at the Seaside Gone Wrong
EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightfully humorous comic postcard from the 20th century captures the quintessential British seaside holiday experience, filled with laughter, sun, sand, and a healthy dose of unexpected mishaps. The scene features a man in a red swimsuit, attempting to help his young son, who is wearing a blue swimsuit and looking rather distressed. The source of their discomfort is a starfish, not the usual souvenir one might bring home from the beach. The man, with a pained expression on his face, holds the starfish upside down, revealing a cluster of spikes hidden beneath its smooth, seemingly harmless exterior. The boy, with a look of horror on his face, recoils in pain, clutching his foot. The man's reaction, complete with a string of colorful expletives, adds to the comedic element of the scene. This double entendre postcard is a perfect example of the British sense of humor, blending the painful reality of a seaside mishap with the lightheartedness and fun of a family holiday. The use of simple, bold lines and vibrant colors adds to the comic effect, making this a must-have for any collection of vintage postcards or seaside memorabilia. Artist Donald McGill, known for his humorous and often risqué postcards, masterfully captures the essence of a day at the beach gone wrong, leaving us with a smile and a reminder that even the best-laid plans can sometimes result in a few unexpected surprises.
