The Elephant and the Wee Dog
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Hilarious 20th Century Comic Postcard This delightful comic postcard, dated from the 20th century, showcases a lighthearted and humorous scene between an elephant and a small dog. The image, brought to you by an unknown British artist, is a perfect example of the whimsical and playful nature of comic postcards from the era. The scene unfolds with an elephant, its large, wrinkled ears flapping gently in the breeze, bending down to the ground with a puzzled expression on its face. The cause of its confusion is a tiny dog, perched precariously on one of the elephant's legs. The dog, with its paws in the air and a look of alarm on its face, seems to be urinating on the elephant's leg. The elephant, seemingly unaware of the dog's actions, appears to be lifting its other leg, as if in response or perhaps in a gesture of solidarity. The humor in this postcard lies in the unexpected juxtaposition of the two animals and their seemingly incongruous actions. The elephant, a symbol of strength and power, and the dog, a symbol of loyalty and companionship, come together in a playful and humorous way that is sure to bring a smile to the face of the viewer. The use of simple lines and bold colors adds to the postcard's charm, making it a delightful addition to any collection of comic postcards or vintage ephemera. This image, with its timeless appeal and sense of fun, is a reminder of the joys of the past and the power of a well-timed joke.
