The tradition of the British saucy postcard is marked by a brand of humour that is specific to a time and a place. Its heyday was an era long before any “sexual revolution” came along, predating text messaging and YouTube-embedded emails, a distant time back when bawdy cartoon jokes could be sent home to friends and families, a guilty smutty giggle on the reverse of news from the holiday.

 

 

“Saucy Seaside Postcards are a peculiar tradition but are synonymous with holidays along the British coast. They typify the quirky humour of the British which often revolves around sex or bodily functions.

With the English invention of seaside holidays having been popularised by the Victorians, the promenades and piers started to see stalls selling seaside novelties. Seaside postcards with bawdy captions first appeared in the early 20th Century and became extremely popular during the First World War.

 

 

The cards are worth celebrating as a form of folk art that’s now vanished, superseded by changes in technology, in language and in morality. Despite all this the cards evoke a world that remains fascinating to me.

“In the early 1930s, cartoon-style saucy postcards became widespread, and at the peak of their popularity the sale of saucy postcards reached a massive 16 million a year.” —http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postcard

 

 

“In today’s liberal world of open frankness on sexual matters, the cartoon characters and antics of the saucy postcard era would hardly lift an eyebrow. However, back in those days of sexual repression, “It” was very much a taboo subject, considered to be the height of bad manners bordering on obscene to discuss. Saucy postcards were a breath of fresh air to some; others were disgusted and offended by them.

The cheeky and often sexually-implied innuendos and double meanings could be either visual or textual, though usually both picture and text played a part. No section of the community was spared; fat people, thin people, mothers-in-law, hen-pecked husbands, waiters and waitresses, lower class, middle class and upper class, glamorous ladies, doctors and nurses, etc, were all represented in cartoon characters. They were often portrayed in risqué, embarrassing or suggestive situations.

The postcards were produced in bright primary colours, and were typically displayed outside seafront gift shops on a traditional revolving postcard stand. Holiday-makers and day-trippers browsing the saucy postcards would often been seen nudging each other and giggling.” —
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/a4350971

 

 

Widely acknowledged as master of this art-form was the English graphic artist Donald McGill.

 

 

“He has been called ‘the king of the saucy postcard’, and his work is still collected and appreciated for his artistic skill, its power of social observation and earthy sense of humour. Even at the height of his fame he only earned three guineas a design, but today his original artwork can fetch thousands of pounds.

Over the span of his career McGill produced an estimated 12,000 designs, of which 200 million copies are estimated to have been printed… Despite their wide circulation, McGill earned no royalties from his designs; in his will, his estate was valued at just £735.” —
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_McGill

 

 

The saucy seaside postcard was the subject of a 1941 essay by George Orwell:

“Your first impression is of overpowering vulgarity. This is quite apart from the ever-present obscenity, and apart also from the hideousness of the colours. They have an utter low-ness of mental atmosphere which comes out not only in the nature of the jokes but, even more, in the grotesque, staring, blatant quality of the drawings. The designs, like those of a child, are full of heavy lines and empty spaces, and all the figures in them, every gesture and attitude, are deliberately ugly, the faces grinning and vacuous, the women monstrously parodied, with bottoms like Hottentots. Your second impression, however, is of indefinable familiarity. What do these things remind you of? What are they so like? In the first place, of course, they remind you of the barely different post cards which you probably gazed at in your childhood. But more than this, what you are really looking at is something as traditional as Greek tragedy, a sort of sub-world of smacked bottoms and scrawny mothers-in-law which is a part of Western European consciousness.”

Orwell would go on to single out McGill’s work for great praise, however:

“I have associated them especially with the name of Donald McGill because he is not only the most prolific and by far the best of contemporary post card artists, but also the most representative, the most perfect in the tradition.” — George Orwell, The Art of Donald McGill
http://www.netcharles.com/orwell/essays/donaldmcgill.htm

 

 

Trailer for a 2005 BBC documentary about McGill:

 

 

 

In 1954 he was prosecuted under the Obscene Publications Act of 1857 and pleaded guilty at the Lincoln Quarter Sessions. He was fined £50 with £25 costs, and this link to the UK Social Affairs Unit tells the story.

His eyesight fading, and with demand for his work diminishing, McGill died in 1962 to be buried in an unmarked grave. Since then the art form has slowly but irrevocably been in decline and holidays will never be quite the same again:

 

 

“Here, as so often in British life, one gets a sense of something kept artificially alive beyond its natural span, like the pearly kings or the old time music hall. Sixty years ago, you might just have been able to regard the work of Donald McGill and his imitators… as a genuine expression of popular culture. These days anyone who wants a worm’s eye view of contemporary life would probably buy a copy of Viz. What to Orwell was a window on a world has become a well-intentioned marketing exercise.” — DJ Taylor
http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguardian/2001/aug/27/features11.g2

I’ll sign off with this from Orwell’s essay:
“In the past the mood of the comic post card could enter into the central stream of literature, and jokes barely different from McGill’s could casually be uttered between the murders in Shakespeare’s tragedies. That is no longer possible, and a whole category of humour, integral to our literature till 1800 or thereabouts, has dwindled down to these ill-drawn post cards, leading a barely legal existence in cheap stationers’ windows. The corner of the human heart that they speak for might easily manifest itself in worse forms, and I for one should be sorry to see them vanish.”

S&M; saved my life. Just wanted to get that out of the way. This site has no religion option but if it did it would be S&M.; Rape is pretty chill. I really got into this to rebel against my parents. They don’t understand S&M.; They tell me its a phase. I tell them theyre a waste of space.

I wanna get it on with S-guys and talk with other M-guys with a like-minded hatred of the world and government that holds us down.

My friends all call me St.Jimmy. I have his symbol tattooed on my forearm. It reminds me of my own mortality. When I die St. Jimmy does too. But im not afraid to die.

Im not the age i put on here if you want to know the truth ask me.

I also love the Marine Corps it was the best decision I ever made, I used to play in a band before though and that was pretty fun.

If you are against owning a gun or the military then I am sorry but I am just not going to be able to slave for you cuz I need a gun to my head, threats and violent shit.

I have a few photos of me before I enlisted in the Marines and as you can see it was quite the change. Hate me or not I don’t care but I do miss my hair…But f**k that s**t.

im not technically a master looking for a slave but i came here becuz you guys here are sick in the head like me so I’m hoping for help wth something or at least tolerance please. i have an intense sexual obsession with my son. thats him in the photos. it started abt 4 years ago and now it’s out of control. ive drugged him unconscious and fooled around with his body a few times but its not enough at all and i can’t go where i need to go with him for the obvious reason. lately i found myself wishing he would die, get shot or die in an accident or anything becuz i didnt think my obsession cld stop otherwise. now im trying this. im looking for a boy, slave, whatever you want to call it who looks like my son ideally in uncanny way for even a one time encounter or hopefully regular NSA. im well off financially and will pay a boy for this. i wld involve knocking him around, giving oral and rape. my son is just under legal age but the boy slave doesnt have to be as long as he’s teenage and looks especially like my son. hoping for some relief here, thanks.

Hello. First of thank you.

I’m just an accidentally cute but otherwise worthless little narcissistic skinny bitch who loves partying and nickelback looking for a real man to pay obsessive attention to me whatever it takes for a lifetime.

I can do anal, kiss, suck, all the average stuff as much as you want but I need a man who is EXTREMELY obsessively in love with me, like a stalker, a man so obsessed with me that loving me is the only way to keep his sanity.

Straight down to the point, I am so lost to the point I’m about to give up on loving somebody. I tried normal boyfriends but that never works, they’re just horny, or I’m just their type and I can tell they don’t need me every second of their lives.

I love guys in their 40s and it’s all I’ve ever and will ever be with. I’m a VERY loving boy, I write poetry and love songs all for the guy who I love. I want to make them happy and keep them insanely obsessed with me is all I ask!

Dear Master Ivan K,

Who am I?

I am the person you turned into the freak. The person you hit, the person you raped and picked at every day. I am that body in the grave that died from things that you has put me through. I am that drug addicted, that suicidal person. The person you called worthless shit slave. The person you kicked out with nothing. The person you told to kill themselves.

How do my habits make you feel? Are you proud of yourself that you push me so over the edge that I killed myself? Are you proud of yourself that now I am a drug addict and is dying because of you? Are you proud of yourself that you choose how my life should end but I have no say in it? Are you proud of yourself that since you called me meat and object and useless and property, I feel that I am never perfect? I starve myself, cut myself, and come to this site looking for men to finish the destruction you start because of what you did to me.

Are you proud? Most of all, are you proud of the person you turned out to be?

This disobedient dishonest disloyal slut has been directed to receive his just punishment through a night of extreme suffering and brutal misery. After being forcibly drugged or intoxicated into a barely coherent stupor, this slut needs to be passed around, raped, and gang banged. slut should be beaten (especially the face), whipped, burned, cut, slapped, thrown around, violated, and penetrated in as brutal a manner possible. No concern. No mercy. No limits. When you have taken everything you want, slut should be dumped in a nasty alley, like in the Bronx, bound; bruised; beaten; with ruined holes; covered in cum, spit, urine, and/or shit; bloodied and incoherent with no wallet, money, ID, or cellphone to find his way home. You should have zero regard for this scum while using him or when you toss him out. slut should be walking into an extremely risky and dangerous situation when he arrives and be left in a far worse situation when you are done abusing him. Groups go to the front of the line.

I’ll do my best.

My name is Daryl, I’m 23 and lived in Wolverhampton all my life, however because I’ve spoken to Americans online for years I have lost the accent but I won’t go on about it if you’re not interested since I can actually read the atmosphere.

I’ll just come out and say I suffer from social anxiety and depression, you can generally assume that ever thing I say to you I’ll be obsessing over if I’m boring sex or having sex is just pestering you. If I find someone who can really make me believe they enjoy having sex with me, that would be something very special indeed.

I’ll always have sex with anyone who asks and I actually mean that.

Looking for master to own me. 24/7 but not until September 13. Sorry.

Ideally he would be under 30.

I want to be known only as the strange young guy or thing that’s always at your house and seen with you outside sometimes.

Master may want to make me wear revealing clothes when or if I’m out with him (short shorts, tight too small shirt or even shirtless – or you want me to go commando that is your choice) so everyone will envy that you obviously get to fuck me. Just a suggestion.

I am fairly new to realizing I’m cute and hot so please be patient.

I have tried this site a couple of times and couple of guys freaked me out.

I can’t stand Coldplay or Elton John or any music like that.

Like to be hypnotized into a robotized drone. I’m very much into being the best of what I am. I was once a sexual thing. It felt slightly wrong and that was slightly right, but these days it’s about a strange sense of inhabiting something that’s far removed from my experiences as a sexual boy. I value that time greatly, but wouldn’t want to live there anymore.

I’m actually just a kinda goofy kid who wants to be spanked and get to know someone in the process.

You start to grow angry as you stomp over to my cowering body, tightly grip my upper arm, and forcefully pull me over your knee. You rip my pants down and without hesitation unload a flurry of spankings that make me buckle over your knee.

I throw my hand back, you intercept and catch my arm out the air and twist it up my back. You yell at me and noticeably increase the strength of your spanking.

I just can’t take it anymore. I start to kick with extreme power to try to block the impaling smacks. In one solid motion you swing both my legs under one of yours, locking them in place.

This state of helplessness leaves me feel defeated. You extremely increase the severity of the spanning. I understand that my punishment ends when my rump is destroyed.

Also, sorry for the confusion. I’m called BowieBoy because I live in Bowie, Texas not because I look like David Bowie thank God.

I can’t make sexual decisions, need a man to make them.
You know that I’m greedy for sex because I’m so greedy.

I don’t deserve to wear many clothes. When you meet me, I will be dressed in short shorts and shirtless.

I don’t need privacy. I wouldn’t know what to do with it.

p.s. Hey. ** Dóra Grőber, Hi, Dóra! Yeah, I totally get what you mean. It’s like that, I agree. It’s super complex. And there’s the whole existential question of whether your emotions are more ‘you’ than your ‘mind’ is, etc. Intriguingly unanswerable stuff. The deadline Zac and I have is undoable, but we’re just going to get the thing as far along as we can. Luckily Zac had this kind of breakthrough idea yesterday, so the task doesn’t feel as much like building something in the dark now. Have you heard back from those possible thesis recruits? And did you see your friend at long last? I have work-work-work ahead of me today, but I’ll see if I can squeeze in anything else. And yours? ** Jonathan, Hi, J. I know, pretty awesome stuff, right? I was amazed to find that company in my searching. I do sort of suspect that their products are very, very photogenic. But still. Awesome that you’re working hard on such interesting sounding works/things. The opera itself isn’t scheduled to premiere until 2019, so there’s time. The issue right now is that Gisele needs to send as fleshed-out a representation of the project as possible asap to the artist who will be composing the music and singing in the piece. He’s in another country, and … long story. Anyway, as he’ll be working with/singing the texts, we need to have something developed enough for him to look at. We will know whether ARTE wants the TV series badly enough to give us development money so we can finish writing it in mid-October. Everything looks very promising so far. I hope your day is more awesome than mine, which shouldn’t be hard. ** David Ehrenstein, Hi. Could be. Ha ha: your favorite zombie. ** MANCY, HI, S. Yeah, I was/am blown away too. And they are weirdly inexpensive for how great they look. Almost suspiciously so. Thanks a lot about ‘MLT’. I definitely think it’s one of my best novels, yeah, I do. I did miss that on FB for some reason. Thanks. I’m so there as soon as I’m not here! Everyone, masterful artist of stripes galore Steven Purtill has made a video for a track called ‘Gapadraga’ by the music project RLLRBLL and you can and really should watch it here. No, I hadn’t seen that article — thank you! — but it’s funny, and great timing, because tomorrow’s post is all about defunct dark rides. Weird, cool. ** Damien Ark, Hi, Damien. Thanks, bud. The coffee has done its trick so far, but the day is young. ** Bernard, Hi, B. You do and are? In all the years I’ve known you, I did not know that. I like Rabih Almeddine’s writing. I think you will. When I was a lad, I took a seminar on Mel Brooks’ films. I think it was at the point when ‘Silent Movie’ had just come out. It was pretty cool. There were in-person lectures/q&as with Brooks, Reiner, Gene Wilder, Cloris Leachman, Marty Feldman, and loads of others. Oh, darn, about that wrong clip on the Shirley Jackson post. I’ll rectify that. Oops. Thanks! May the brief rest of your week fly by as decoratively as possible. ** Steevee, Hi. Cool about your helpful psych’s office. Ah, your review! Excited! Everyone, Steevee has reviewed the new documentary about the legendary rock advancer/ manager/ scenester/ etc. Danny Fields, and I can’t wait to see that film, nor can I wait to read Steevee’s take, but I’ll have to wait until I finish the p.s. while you have no such restriction, so enjoy and read his review now. ** Chris Corhane, Hey! I like your hew name. How does one pronounce it? Thanks for the creasing this new joint! I’m so happy that you and Niall and Brian Chase can do the New Museum thing. That’s so great and kind of you! I’m really intensely curious to find out what it even means to read/perform my gif work. I think that’s such a mad, cool idea of Travis’s. Yeah, I’m really excited for that. I think I’ll be around in NYC for a bit then since the plan is to stay from the Ish event on the 7th through the New Museum event, although I think Zac and I will likely take a little theme park-oriented road trip at some point in-between. But, yeah, let’s hang! Lots of love to you, maestro! ** Jamie McMorrow, Hi, Jamie! I know, pretty consistently great quality stuff that company puts out. Were I able to afford the extravagances that I dream about, I would most likely buy the lot, or at least a lot. Right, Housemartins were socialist, I do remember that now. They became The Beautiful South?! Uh, … why? I’m with you on their major suckage. Yes, I was lucky and saw Television live a number of times. I love them, naturally. I also really like the first maybe three Tom Verlaine solo albums, especially ‘Dreamtime’. His solo albums just a little spotty, but there are incredible things on them, if you don’t know them already. There’s a pretty good Tom Verlaine solo work comp called ‘The Miller’s Tale’, although I don’t know if it’s still in print. Sleep’s almost normal again, I think. I always hesitate to declare victory over jetlag. It’s sneaky. I’m glad your sleep is surrendering to you. Yeah, work-y is the word. I’ll be workiness central for the next days. Oh, my aching head. I don’t think I could handle being a boss. I always analyze the power structure involved in everything I do, so I think that would be failed mission. I’m sure you were a dream boss, but I’m glad you no longer need to be that. What did Friday have in store for you? xx, me. ** New Juche, Hi, bud. I bet the UK has great libraries, yeah. It seems like a place custom made for libraries. I don’t know exactly why I think that. And I guess for ale too. I hardly drink, so I don’t know. And one problem for me with the UK is that my idea of being in hell is being in a pub watching whatever people who are with me drink. And everyone in the UK seems to equate socializing with going to a pub, so I think I would be both extremely unhappy and unpopular living there. But I digress. I’m excited to hear about the two new book projects. So the wordless one will ready first, you’re saying? Cool. Although the Rangoon one sounds awfully siren-ic, so I hope it pans out. Right now I’m working on the libretto for the future opera project that Zac and I are writing for Gisele. Some form of it is due next week, so that work is eating me up. We’ll edit and finish the music video next month and also start scouting locations for our new film. So writing, if you mean fiction writing, remains way back-burnered by necessity for now. ** _Black_Acrylic, Cool, thanks, Ben. I don’t know Katy Dove’s work, but I’ll go learn about it at my first work break today. Enjoy your own today. ** H, Hi. I think I would make my true love look like those figures, or a few of them. Far, far, far better to desire creating than consuming. The desire for consuming seems like it’s destroying the world, or at least my Facebook news feed. Fine day! ** Okay. It’s that day of the month when the slaves take over. See you tomorrow.
