EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, folks, and feast your eyes on this hilarious turn of events from the roaring 1910s! Behold, the beaver and the otter, two industrious aquatic creatures, locked in a playful yet competitive banter over who can build the best dam. This charming comic postcard, dated circa 1918, is a delightful example of early 20th-century British humor. The beaver, ever the diligent engineer, is hard at work, meticulously constructing a dam with twigs and mud. With a proud and satisfied expression, he turns to the otter, who is nonchalantly floating by on a log, smoking a pipe. The otter, in his typical laid-back fashion, quips, "Oh, is that a dam you're building, Beaver? Well, I'll just go and catch us some fish while you're at it!" The beaver, taken aback by the otter's casual attitude, retorts, "Well, Mr. Otter, I'll have you know that this dam isn't just for me. It's for all the animals in the river, providing them with a safe and stable home. And as for the fish, I'll catch them myself, thank you very much!" This lighthearted exchange highlights the contrasting personalities and skills of the beaver and the otter, adding a touch of whimsy and amusement to our day. This delightful postcard, from the collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the enduring appeal of animal stories and the power of a good joke.
