The Long and Short of It - A Dairy Tale
EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightfully humorous comic postcard, dated back to the 20th century, depicts a scene of rural life that is sure to bring a smile to your face. The image shows a long-faced cow being milked by a farmer and his wife, both with expressions that suggest they've seen better days. The cow, with its elongated face and unhappy demeanor, seems to be expressing its displeasure at the milking process. The couple, dressed in traditional farming attire, are seen standing on either side of the cow, each holding a bucket or pail to collect the milk. The man, with a stool beneath him, appears to be in a more comfortable position than his wife, who is bent over and seems to be putting in extra effort. The double entendre in this comic postcard lies in the title of the scene, "Long-faced cow being milked." The phrase "long-faced" can be taken to mean both the physical appearance of the cow and the farmers' long-suffering expressions. The image plays on the idea of the daily challenges and hardships of farming life, where even the simple task of milking a cow can be a laborious and humorous affair. The background of the postcard shows a rolling countryside, with fields stretching out in the distance. The couple's backpacks suggest that they have been working in the fields all day, adding to the sense of hard work and dedication to their farming lifestyle. This charming and humorous postcard is a reminder of the simple joys and challenges of rural life, and the importance of finding humor in the everyday. It is a perfect addition to any collection of comic postcards or memorabilia from the 20th century.
