The Misfortune of Being Too Fat, 1931 - A Hilarious Escape Attempt
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from 1931, we are transported back to a time when humor and creativity knew no bounds. The image captures the misadventure of three escaping convicts who find themselves in an incredibly tight spot - quite literally! The scene unfolds within the confines of a prison cell window, where sawn bars stand as their only obstacle to freedom. However, one cannot help but notice that their comrade is rather portly, making the task at hand far more challenging than anticipated. With sheer determination and camaraderie shining through, these men devise a plan to pull their overweight companion through the narrow opening. The cover of "Le Petit Journal Illustre" a popular French newspaper from January 12th, 1930, immortalizes this unforgettable moment. The graphic design and lettering add an extra layer of charm to the overall composition. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes clear that even amidst dire circumstances such as imprisonment and escape attempts, laughter can still find its way into our lives. This whimsical image reminds us that sometimes life's challenges come with unexpected twists and turns – or in this case – squeezes! Created by an unknown artist during France's colorful thirties era, "The Misfortune of Being Too Fat" serves as a testament to human resilience and ingenuity even in the face of adversity. It invites us all to embrace
