EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Pretty Woman and Her Misunderstood Bicycle: A Humorous 20th Century Comic Postcard This delightful comic postcard, dated from the 20th century, features a pretty young woman in summer attire, wearing a floral blouse and shorts, standing beside a bicycle in a rural countryside setting. The woman, with a charming smile, appears to be in the midst of a lighthearted conversation with an older, plump man, who is shown in the background, leaning against a tree with a puzzled expression. The humor in this postcard lies in the double meaning of the situation. At first glance, it seems like an innocent scene of a woman chatting with a man while admiring her bicycle. However, upon closer inspection, the man's position and the title of the event, "Mr. Smith's Gymkhana," suggest that there might be a misunderstanding or entendre at play. The woman's slim figure and the man's plump build add to the comedic element, as does the hard saddle on the bicycle, which might have been a source of amusement or discomfort for the man. The overall scene exudes a sense of fun and lightheartedness, making it a perfect addition to any collection of vintage comic postcards. The postcard bears the signature of the renowned British comic artist Donald McGill, who was known for his humorous and often risqué illustrations. This particular postcard, with its clever use of double meanings and visual humor, is a testament to McGill's ability to capture the essence of everyday life with a touch of whimsy and mischief.
