The Flat Boomers of Gotham
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a classic cartoon illustration created by an unidentified artist, showcased in a vintage magazine. This humorous piece, now available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique perspective on the generation gap that existed between the "flatheads" or "flats," represented by the older generation, and the "boomers," symbolized by the younger generation, in the bustling city of Gotham. The cartoon depicts a scene in which a group of flatheads, with their two-dimensional, simplified features, are gathered around a table in a dimly lit room. They appear to be deeply engrossed in a conversation, their expressions suggesting a sense of superiority and disdain. In contrast, a group of boomers, characterized by their three-dimensional, more complex features, are shown peering in from the window, looking puzzled and amused. The title of the cartoon, "The Flat Boomers of Gotham," adds a playful twist to the generational divide. The term "boomer" was originally used to describe the post-World War II baby boom generation, but in this context, it seems to be used more broadly to refer to the younger generation, who are depicted as more dynamic and three-dimensional compared to their flat counterparts. The cartoon's use of visual humor and clever wordplay highlights the changing social dynamics and evolving perspectives of the time. The print is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a humorous and insightful commentary on the generational divide and the ever-evolving nature of society. Whether displayed in a home or office, this print is sure to spark conversation and bring a touch of vintage charm to any space.
