A Windy Problem
EDITORS COMMENTS
- this charming comic postcard from the 1930s, part of the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a humorous exchange between a bus conductor and an older lady passenger. The open-top omnibus, a common mode of transportation during the era, is depicted with a large, wind-swept sign reading "Bus" at the front. The scene unfolds as the conductor, standing at the front of the bus, informs the lady, who is struggling to climb the stairs to the upper deck, that she may encounter some trouble with the wind outside. The lady, with a witty response, reassures him that she is grateful she won't be troubled with it inside. The humor in this comic postcard lies in the misunderstanding and miscommunication between the two characters. The conductor, concerned about the wind outside, inadvertently creates an image of discomfort for the lady, who interprets the situation quite differently. The lady, who appears to be of a large build and possibly suffering from indigestion or another medical condition, finds amusement in the situation and plays along with the conductor's words, turning the exchange into a light-hearted joke. The postcard's title, "A Windy Problem," adds to the humor by implying that the wind is the only problem the lady will face, when in reality, her internal discomfort may be a greater concern. The image captures the essence of playful banter and the ability to find humor in everyday situations, making it a delightful addition to any collection of vintage postcards or comic art.
