Title: "The Love Boat: A Floating Feast of Fun!" This delightful comic postcard from the 20th century, published by the renowned British humourist Donald McGill, captures the essence of a blissful couple's holiday at sea. The large, plump woman, dressed in a floral sun hat and a striped summer dress, is playfully puffing on a cigar, while her equally voluptuous husband, wearing a striped sailor shirt and a captain's hat, chatters away, holding a cigar between his fingers. The couple's double entendre-laden conversation is suggested by the caption above their heads: "Broadening our horizons - and our waists!" Their joviality is further emphasized by the oversized lifebelts they are each wearing, adding a touch of whimsy and humor to the scene. The couple's enjoyment of their summer holiday is palpable, as they stand on the deck of the ship, surrounded by the vast expanse of the sea. The ship's sails are billowing in the wind, and the sun is setting on the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow over the scene. This charming postcard is a testament to the simple pleasures of travel and the joy of a good conversation between two people, and serves as a reminder that sometimes the best memories are made when we broaden our horizons – both literally and figuratively.
