EDITORS COMMENTS
A Hilarious 20th Century Comic Postcard: 'Man Disturbed by Late Night Party in Hotel'! This delightful comic postcard, titled 'Man Disturbed by Late Night Party in Hotel,' is a humorous depiction of an elderly man in his stripy pyjamas and dressing gown, looking rather disturbed and annoyed as he peers out of his hotel room window late at night. The source of his irritation? A noisy party taking place downstairs! The scene is set in a classic British hotel, with the man's room located upstairs. The windows are wide open, revealing a moonlit night outside. The man's expression suggests that he's had enough of the raucous festivities below and is eager for some peace and quiet. But what's that in the foreground of the image? A tray bearing a bottle, balloons, and a pair of buffalo horns! It seems that the man's misunderstanding of the situation has led him to jump to the wrong conclusion. Instead of a wild party, it appears that the young guests are simply enjoying a buffalo ball – a double entendre that would have been popular in the 20th century. The man's annoyance turns to confusion as he contemplates the strange sight before him. His expression is priceless – a perfect blend of amusement and frustration. This comic postcard is a testament to the power of verbal misunderstandings and the importance of looking before you leap! The postcard is a charming example of the classic British comic style, reminiscent of the works of Donald McGill and other famous comic postcard artists of the 20th century. It's a fun, lighthearted reminder of a bygone era, and a great conversation starter for any collection or display.
