EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: "Plump Man on the Beach" - A Humorous Take on Summer Vacations and Self-deprecating Humor This delightful comic postcard, titled "Plump Man on the Beach," is a charming representation of a man's humorous self-assessment after a week-long vacation by the sea. The image, dating back to the 20th century, depicts a plump man, donning a swimsuit, standing on the sandy beach with a bucket and spade in hand. His round belly protrudes from his swimsuit, and his face is contorted in a comically exaggerated expression of surprise and disbelief. The man's caption reads, "Look at me after a week here - and I came down for my rheumatism too!" This humorous line adds an element of self-deprecation and relatability to the image, as many can identify with the feeling of overindulgence during a holiday. The seaside setting, complete with a child and other beachgoers in the background, adds to the lighthearted and fun atmosphere. The man's athletic, yet amused expression, as he kicks a bucket, showcases his enjoyment of the moment and his willingness to embrace his body, despite its size. This comic postcard, created by the British illustrator Donald McGill, is a testament to the humor and fun that can be found in the simple pleasures of a summer holiday. The image's playful and lighthearted tone is sure to bring a smile to the face of any viewer, reminding us to find joy in the little things and to laugh at ourselves from time to time.
