EDITORS COMMENTS
Three's a Crowd: A Hilarious Encounter at the Seaside! (Comic Postcard, Three people at the seaside - waiting for the smacks Date: 20th century) This delightfully humorous comic postcard from the 20th century captures the essence of a classic British seaside holiday. Three middle-aged individuals, a plump woman and two men, are seen waiting at the water's edge with eager anticipation. The caption above their heads reads, "Waiting for the Smacks." The double entendre in this comic strip is both amusing and intriguing. On one hand, the term "smacks" refers to the traditional fishing boats that were once a common sight along the British coastline. The trio appears to be patiently waiting for these boats to arrive, perhaps hoping to secure a good catch for their dinner. However, the term "smacks" also has a more risqué meaning, which adds an unexpected layer of humor to the scene. The men's leering glances towards the voluptuous woman and their suggestive body language suggest that they may be entertaining a different kind of "catch" while they wait. The image is reminiscent of the iconic British comic artist Donald McGill, known for his saucy and humorous seaside postcards. The vibrant colors, exaggerated expressions, and playful innuendo make this postcard a fun and entertaining addition to any collection. Whether you're a fan of British humor, comic art, or simply looking for a lighthearted moment, this postcard is sure to bring a smile to your face!
