Meeting on the Dodgems - A Delightfully Plump Encounter at the Seaside Fair, 20th Century (M103223)
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and humorous comic postcard captures the essence of a fun-filled day at the seaside amusement park. The image features two plump women, both adorned with hats and holding pipes, eagerly meeting each other in the middle of a dodgem car track. The double meaning of the title "Meeting on the Dodgems" adds an enticing verbal playfulness to the scene. The women, with their rosy cheeks and broad smiles, exude happiness and joy as they come together for an unexpected encounter. Their ample figures, a common representation of middle-aged women in vintage seaside postcards, add to the lighthearted and fun tone of the image. The women's hats and pipes serve as quirky accessories, adding to the overall comic effect. The background of the postcard is filled with the hustle and bustle of the fairground, with other dodgem cars and excited riders visible in the distance. The summer sun casts a warm glow over the scene, further emphasizing the carefree and joyful atmosphere. This postcard is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era, where simple pleasures and lighthearted fun reigned supreme. The meeting on the dodgems serves as a reminder that sometimes the most memorable moments in life are the unexpected ones, and that a little bit of humor and fun can go a long way in making our days brighter and more memorable.
