A Hearty Daily Dozen: A Plump Couple's Holiday Adventure, 20th Century This delightful comic postcard captures the joy and laughter of a plump couple on their summer holiday. The image, set at the seaside, shows the pair lounging on a beach blanket, their faces beaming with happiness as they enjoy a 'Daily Dozen' of ice-cold beers. The man, with a round belly and rosy cheeks, wears a striped swimsuit, while his wife, equally plump and radiant, dons a colorful bathing suit with a floral print. The couple's laughter echoes the playful caption that reads, "A Daily Dozen is a good idea – especially when you're on holiday!" The double entendre of "Daily Dozen" adds an extra layer of humor to the scene, as the phrase can be interpreted as both a reference to the dozen beers they are drinking and a nod to their ample figures. The charming illustration, reminiscent of the works of Donald McGill and other British comic postcard artists of the 20th century, captures the essence of a carefree, fun-loving holiday. The couple's enjoyment of life, their physicality, and their shared laughter are the true stars of this comic postcard. As they sip their beers and bask in the sun, the couple embodies the spirit of summer and the joy of taking a break from daily routines. Their plump figures and jovial expressions serve as a reminder that it's okay to indulge in life's simple pleasures and to embrace our bodies, no matter their shape or size.
