Tall Tales and Short Love Stories
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this delightfully humorous comic postcard from the 20th century, we find a charming couple out for a romantic walk. The tall woman, with her elegant posture and confident stride, seems to be in her element as she strolls alongside her shorter companion. The man, with a mischievous grin on his face, appears to be trying to keep up with his tall and beautiful girlfriend. The wordplay in this comic postcard is both verbal and visual. The title "Tall Tales and Short Love Stories" sets the tone for the humorous scene that unfolds. The tall woman's height is emphasized through the use of exaggerated perspective, making her appear even taller than she already is. Meanwhile, the man's short stature is highlighted through the use of a clever pun in the title. Despite their physical differences, the couple exudes an undeniable attraction. The woman's fur coat adds an extra layer of warmth and charm to the scene, while the man's hat and umbrella complete the picture-perfect image of a courting couple. The use of humor in this postcard makes it a fun and lighthearted reminder of the joys of love and romance. This comic postcard is a wonderful example of the whimsical and playful art of Donald McGill, a British artist known for his humorous postcards. McGill's work often featured wordplay, puns, and double entendres, making his postcards a popular choice for sending a lighthearted message to friends and loved ones.
