Man and Office Boy
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Classic Comic Postcard from the 20th Century This delightful comic postcard, titled "Man and Office Boy," is a humorous snapshot of everyday office life from a bygone era. The image, brought to us by the renowned British humour postcard publisher, Donald McGill, captures the playful banter between a young office boy and his boss, both of whom are deep in the throes of their morning routines. The scene unfolds in a quaint, dimly lit office setting. The man, dressed in a formal suit and tie, is intently focused on the clock, no doubt counting down the minutes until his lunch break. The office boy, wearing a crisp shirt and a mischievous grin, stands behind him, holding a ledger and a book. With a cheeky expression, he leans in to whisper something in his boss's ear, his finger poised to point at the clock, which reads "10 o'clock." The double entendre in this comic postcard is not only in the title but also in the office boy's words. The phrase "Man and Office Boy" can be interpreted in two ways: it can refer to the relationship between a man and his employee, or it can be a playful reference to the man's advanced age, implying that he is no longer a "man" in the traditional sense. The office boy's words, "I'll tell you what I'll do, I'll knock you off at 10 o'clock," can be taken in two ways as well. On the surface, it seems like a harmless offer to knock off work at the designated time. However, given the context of the situation and the office boy's mischievous grin, it's clear that he's also suggesting something more sinister - perhaps he'll "knock" the man unconscious or "knock" him off his chair. This comic postcard is a testament to the power of humor and the enduring appeal of office antics. It's a fun and lighthearted reminder of the human side of work and the playful banter that can often be found in even the most mundane of workplaces.
