"Entendre: A Comic Journey through the 20th Century" Step into the world of entendre, where laughter and miscommunication collide in a delightful collection of comic postcards and cartoons. In David Wright's "About Turn. ", we witness a hilarious scene as soldiers find themselves facing an unexpected twist. The clever use of double entendre adds an extra layer of amusement to this comical encounter. Flowers bloom in the park, but it seems that love is not the only thing blossoming on this sunny day. As men walk past a shop window, their eyes widen at the suggestive display, leaving us wondering what thoughts are running through their minds. At the races, excitement fills the air as a woman places her bet both ways with a bookie. But little does she know that her innocent wager holds more than just monetary implications - it's another case of playful entendre. A Georgian cartoon captures a conversation at a turnstile, where words take on multiple meanings. With witty banter and clever wordplay, misunderstandings abound in this humorous exchange. Hold onto your seats for an accident involving a bacon slicer. This comic postcard from the 20th century showcases how even mundane situations can become uproarious when entendres come into play. On the beach, we find ourselves chuckling at a plump woman riding donkey - but is there more to this scene than meets the eye? Perhaps another cheeky entendre awaits our discovery. Love takes center stage in "Vegetable Love: The Allotment Love Letter. " Through clever wordplay and innuendo-laden dialogue between gardeners smitten with each other (and their vegetables), romance blooms amidst rows of carrots and cabbages. A deaf old man finds himself entangled in amusing misunderstandings when he encounters a pretty young woman. In this comic postcard from yesteryears, language barriers lead to hilarity as he misinterprets her innocent gestures.
