POSTCARD OF THE WEEK: No. 5

Miroslav Bartak
Dynamite Ink (UK)

I found this, along with two other postcards of a similar nature, in a little stationary shop by uni (Holloway Road) for 25p. I smile every time I look at this one J

How so subtly witty is this one?! Comic images of her hacking at the man’s arm with underlying ideas of objectification (putting yourself on show maybe?). And of course I think of meaty masculinised Britain. Or have I got it totally, totally wrong?
