EDITORS COMMENTS
This early 20th century Comic German postcard presents a humorous scene of desperate, overweight men lining up to pay for access to the toilet at a health spa. The caption above the image reads, "Engaged Women's Toilet - Run, Run, Those Who Can Still!" The scene inside the toilet shows several plump men, some with disheveled hair and anxious expressions, frantically handing over coins to an attendant, who sits calmly behind a counter, counting his earnings. Outside the toilet, more men are seen in various stages of running and panting, likely trying to reach the toilet in time. The image pokes fun at the common struggle for access to the toilet during a purge or detox treatment at a health spa. The men's desperation and urgency are emphasized by their overweight bodies and the contrast between their frantic behavior and the attendant's nonchalant demeanor. The postcard's use of humor and exaggerated caricatures adds to its appeal and makes it a popular collectible item. The postcard's date and origin are not explicitly stated, but the style and subject matter suggest that it was produced in Germany during the early 20th century. The postcard's age and rarity make it a valuable addition to any collection of historical ephemera or German humor.
