PUNderful Postcards

If there was one thing the Victorians and Edwardians liked, it was postcards and the more funny the better. They also liked the art of the pun and these two cards demonstrate the art quite well. I dedicate them to Owen of the Magic Lantern Show blog who is always commenting how much he likes seeing people punning when they comment on his posts. At least, I think that's what he likes, but I may be wrong . . . ? I especially like the Allotment-based love letter.

  3. Ahhh Laurie, of course I love all your (and others') puns; I'm still groaning over some of them... maybe you could say it is a love-hate relation... And these veggie puns are awful...

    Thanks for the nod tho', now, I gotta run for bangers and mash...
