EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and feast your eyes on this hilarious 20th-century comic postcard, 'Line of bottles on the beach - Just a Line!' This whimsical illustration by the renowned British comic artist Donald McGill is sure to bring a smile to your face. The scene unfolds on a sunny seaside day, where a line of bottles, each with its own label proudly displayed, stretches out along the sandy beach. From left to right, we see a row of assorted bottles, each representing a different spirit: a port bottle with a cork popping out, a champagne bottle ready to be uncorked, a gin bottle with a long neck and a striped label, and a whisky bottle with a traditional Scottish kilted man holding it up. But what's this? A surprised-looking man in a bathing suit and straw hat appears on the scene, as if he's stumbled upon this line of bottles unexpectedly. He looks at the line with a quizzical expression, as if wondering how they got there. The caption reads, "Just a line, I'm sure," adding to the humor of the situation. This charming and humorous comic postcard is a delightful reminder of the simple pleasures of a summer day at the beach, and the unexpected surprises that life can bring. Whether you're a fan of comic art, beach scenes, or just a good laugh, this postcard is sure to bring joy to any collection.
