Breathing In Short Pants
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Hilarious Comic Postcard from the 20th Century, Mary Evans Picture Library This classic comic postcard, titled "Breathing In Short Pants," is a delightful blast from the past that is sure to bring a smile to your face. Dating back to the 20th century, this humorous image features a woman, or perhaps two women, wearing shorts that are far too small for their ample figures. The women are depicted as struggling to breathe while walking up a steep hill, their faces contorted in exaggerated expressions of effort and discomfort. The double entendre of the title adds an extra layer of humor to the scene. "Breathing in short pants" could refer to the physical challenge of hiking in tight shorts, but it also suggests a more figurative meaning - the women are finding it difficult to keep their cool and maintain their composure in the heat of the moment. The women's oversized backpacks add to the comedic effect, as they appear to be carrying more weight than necessary. Their sweat-drenched faces and panting breaths further emphasize the physical exertion they are experiencing. This comic postcard is a testament to the enduring appeal of British humor, which often finds its inspiration in everyday situations and the human condition. With its clever use of language and visual humor, "Breathing In Short Pants" is a fun and funny reminder of a bygone era. Whether you're a fan of vintage postcards, comedy, or simply looking for a lighthearted moment, this charming image is sure to leave you feeling entertained and amused.
