The Problem With Topical Comedy...

One of our latest acquisitions is this small bundle of postcards. The drawings are fantastic and we would like to know who the artist is...

The images all refer to the Bay of Firth Oyster Fishery and are obviously meant to be humorous but we don't really understand the joke. Something to do with oysters...


Tee hee...


Very droll, I'm sure...


Stop! My sides!


The Syndicate of work!


Insect powder in some bellows, powering a jumper-sailed boat... hilarious!

  1. Tom Kent surely, a couple are signed TK 07

  2. Yes, we noticed the TK signature, that's a solid guess. One is signed R.L.W. so perhaps they are by different artists.

    Any more suggestions welcome...
