A Blissful Escape from Household Chores - A Humorous Comic Postcard from the 20th Century In this delightful comic postcard, a plump woman in a striped sun hat and floral dress is shown reclining contentedly in a deckchair at the seaside. Her rosy cheeks are aglow with the sun, and her eyes are closed in peaceful slumber. The sandy beach and crystal-clear sea stretch out before her, providing the perfect backdrop for her much-needed respite. But what's that wistful smile on her face concealing? Could it be the sheer joy of being away from the hustle and bustle of her daily life? Or perhaps it's the thought of all the household chores she's currently avoiding - the washing, the cooking, the cleaning, and the endless list of tasks that await her back home? This charming postcard, reminiscent of the iconic British humour of Donald McGill, is a light-hearted reminder of the simple pleasures of a seaside holiday. It invites us to indulge in a moment of whimsy and to cherish the freedom from the mundane responsibilities of everyday life. So, let us join this jovial woman in her moment of relaxation and dream along with her, if only for a while. After all, who wouldn't want to trade in the dusting and the dishes for the sun, sand, and sea?
