EDITORS COMMENTS
I Heard You're Back! (Comic Postcard, 20th Century) This delightful comic postcard from the 20th century brings a hearty dose of British humor to the mundane chore of plumbing. The scene unfolds on a quintessential British street, where a man in a hat and coat, with a pipe wrench in hand, approaches a house with a fence and a pavement leading up to it. The man's expression is one of determination as he prepares to tackle the problem at hand. But what's this? A look of surprise crosses his face as he hears a familiar sound coming from within the house. "I heard you're back!" he exclaims, as the image reveals the source of the noise: a man in the bathroom, sitting on the toilet with a chain in hand, ready to flush. The cistern, with its open window, reveals the flushing mechanism in action, causing a splash and a cloud of steam to rise. The humor in this postcard lies in the unexpected interaction between the two men, the absurdity of the situation, and the clever play on words in the title. The use of sound to reveal the source of the problem adds an element of surprise and fun to the scene. The postcard is a charming reminder of the quirks and joys of everyday life, and the unexpected connections that can be made between strangers in the most unlikely of places.
