Here’s a vintage postcard to savor, courtesy of Katchaya!
(For our visually impaired patrons, the postcard colorfully depicts a boy and his dog – and his sister, perhaps? – being blown up by fireworks. Beside the carnage is a lovely black and white portrait of the boy taken by the photo studio that commissioned the postcard. The text states: “Fotograph your boy before the 4th of July: you may not get the chance afterwards.”)

Jesus. And people complain that today’s humor is tasteless and cruel. lol
We’ve got high hopes,
Try hopes,
Get blown high in the sky hopes…
The picture of the boy next to the big bang is better than the one of him looking like a depressed pilgrim to the left. Besides, if this little guy is getting into trouble all the time, the look on his face is probably more realistic than a staged photo anyhow.
