The Unhappy Shopper
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A humorous 20th-century comic postcard depicting a woman's frustrating experience at the textile shop. In this amusing scene, a plump, middle-aged woman is seen standing at the counter of a textile shop, surrounded by rolls and boxes of material. Her expression is one of dissatisfaction and annoyance, as she grumbles to the shop assistant about the selection of fabrics. The assistant, a thin, nervous-looking man, tries to answer her questions with a patient smile, but the woman's complaints only seem to multiply. The scene is filled with comedic details that add to the humor of the situation. The woman's shopping basket is overflowing with rolls of fabric, and she appears to be sweating profusely as she leans over the counter. The shop assistant, meanwhile, looks as if he's about to break out in a cold sweat himself, as he struggles to keep up with the woman's demands. The conversation between the two characters is a classic example of the humorous banter often found in British comic postcards. The woman's complaints range from the fabric being too expensive to it being the wrong color, while the assistant tries to reassure her that he'll find something that suits her needs. Despite the woman's grumpiness and the man's apparent anxiety, the scene is filled with a sense of fun and lightheartedness. The use of exaggerated expressions and body language adds to the comedic effect, making this a delightful addition to any collection of vintage comic postcards.
