Description

Double entendre postcard. "All right boss, tell her did'nt you send me to Miss Jone's room to pick up her skirt!" (sic)
The word "CLEANERS" is written backwards on the room's plate-glass window.


Commentary: The cartoon depends on a misunderstood meaning. Had the "boss" for some reason intended the worker to raise "Miss Jone's" skirt up, it would have been linguistically more likely he'd say "Lift up her skirt" rather than "pick up".)
Date Not dated. Looks like late 1930s to mid 1950s
Source Scanned from an old post card in my own collection. On back it says "Comic Post Card Made in U.S.A."
Author Not credited.
