A Hilarious Twist on Fishing Strategies: A 20th Century Comic Postcard This delightful comic postcard from the 20th century, brought to you by the renowned British humorist Donald McGill, showcases a humorous misunderstanding between two fishermen at the water's edge. The scene is set with two men, dressed in their fishing gear, intently focused on their rods, and a picturesque lake in the background. The humor in this postcard lies in the double entendre of the phrase "fishing strategies." At first glance, one might assume the men are discussing various techniques for catching fish. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that they are actually discussing the most effective ways to relieve oneself in the great outdoors. The man on the left, with a thoughtful expression, points to a brick and declares, "I've found that hitting the pea against the brick works best." His companion, looking equally serious, nods in agreement and responds, "Ah yes, the surprise and shock method is quite effective as well." The unexpected humor in this postcard is sure to bring a smile to your face and add a touch of lightheartedness to any collection. This charming piece of British comic history is a must-have for anyone who appreciates a good laugh and the simple joys of fishing.
