Title: "The Morning After: A Comic Tale of a Plump Woman's Uncomfortable Hotel Stay" This delightful 20th-century comic postcard, titled "The Morning After," captures the humorous and relatable experience of a plump woman's uncomfortable hotel stay. The image shows a woman in a hotel bedroom, sitting on the edge of her bed, looking dreadfully uncomfortable as she attempts to enjoy her breakfast in bed. The bedsheets are rumpled, and the woman's expression suggests that she's had a less-than-ideal night's sleep. The scene is set with a tray of food in front of her, complete with a steaming cup of tea. However, the tiny table next to the bed seems too small to accommodate the tray, and the woman's ample figure spills over the edges, threatening to topple the entire setup. A maid or waitress peeks in through the open door, adding to the woman's embarrassment. The postcard is a classic example of the humorous and often satirical style of British comic postcards popular in the 20th century. It is reminiscent of the works of famous comic postcard artists such as Donald McGill. The woman's plump figure and the awkward situation are depicted in a lighthearted and funny way, making it a charming addition to any collection of vintage postcards. Despite the woman's discomfort, the postcard's whimsical and playful tone adds to its appeal. The use of exaggerated proportions and the woman's expressive face make for a visually engaging and entertaining image. Overall, "The Morning After" is a fun and funny reminder of the quirks and challenges of travel and the human experience.
