Vegetable Love - A Hilarious Allotment Romance
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 20th century with this delightfully quirky and humorous comic postcard, titled "Vegetable Love." This charming piece of British art, created by the renowned Donald McGill, showcases a scene of pure affection and wordplay between two gardeners at an allotment. The scene is set in a lush, green allotment, where two characters, a turnip farmer and a bean grower, are shown exchanging loving glances. The turnip farmer, with a turnip as large as his heart, extends a hand adorned with a carrot ring, while the bean grower, holding a bouquet of cauliflower and thyme, blushes in response. The double entendres and wordplay in this comic postcard are sure to bring a smile to your face. The turnip farmer's question, "Shall we plant a melon in the melancholy of the mushroom room?" is met with the bean grower's reply, "I'd be glad to, but first, let's plant some time and pine." The use of rhyme and verse adds to the playful nature of this comic postcard. The turnip farmer's proposal, "Will you let me beet you, my dear?" is followed by the bean grower's agreement, "I'd be glad to, as long as we grow together." This comic postcard is a testament to the power of love and the clever use of language. The vibrant colors of the vegetables, the expressive faces of the characters, and the witty dialogue make this a must-have for any collection of vintage British humor. So, take a moment to appreciate the simple joys of love and wordplay in this delightful piece of comic art.
