26.05.21 Dare Mister Val M. H., ...Thank you for your attentions & insights. I just wanna underscore that Ms. Diana Hale's photograph featuring the "Queen of Hearts stuck on a fence log" is also "a playing card atop a post". A "Post" & a "Card " ...yes, a bad pun--- which should easily qualify as" boring". SinCelery, Richard Canard

THREE POSTCARDS FROM M. RICHARD CANARD -- mercy buckets!

1. Grade School, Unionville, Mo

I don't think this is, or was, a very good Skool as the person who wrote the caption had problems spelling School, Schole, Schohle....

2. The Queen of Hearts

'Why?', I hear you asking, 'is the Queen of Hearts stuck on a fence log in the middle of a field?' on this Boring Postcard.

She's looking for the tarts she made and the rascal who stole them.

'Explain, please, Val'

Here's an English poem and nursery rhyme from 1782:

The Queen of Hearts

She made some tarts,

    All on a summer's day;

The Knave of Hearts

He stole those tarts,

    And took them clean away.

The King of Hearts

Called for the tarts,

    And beat the knave full sore;

The Knave of Hearts

Brought back the tarts,

    And vowed he'd steal no more.

(And if you're still interested in Her Majesty you can read all about her in Chapter 11 of 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'

This Boring Postcard was 'Photographed by Diana Hale...Based On A Notion by Richard Canard'. Bravo Richard -- I think you are first ever Boring Postcard designer!)

3. Time Saver Card -- Time is Meaningless-- Check Items Desired

This looks like an old Postcard, but it ain't. It's a lock-down Covid card, as you can see from the available choices. In fact, it's rather clever, and maybe it should be in the Interesting Postcards section.

This Postcard was also 'Reimagined by Diana Hale'

It's practically a USO due to its proximity to water.

UFO, Katerina?

Here is the Evoluon UFO in Eindhoven, the Netherland.; It used to be a Museum of the Philips Company, but is now a Conference Center. Eindhoven is a one company town, and that company is Philips.

Guido, your comments about the "postcard size" for the Mail Art Call in Puerto Rico should be directed at the "Events" blog:

VOCES: En Medio de la Pandemia

• Added by Asoc. de Artistas Plásticos PR
• Send Message   View Events

Organizers of mail art events often have a stipulated size, possibly because of their exhibit area, or even the size of their postal box .

................

Here at Val's group it is not the place for discussions about format sizes of mail art, it is about sharing "Boring Postcards".

A discussion about the pros and cons of postcards might be best done at Ruud's group: "FUNNY POSTCARDS". Or, create your own group for discussion.

If you want to respond to my comment feel free. I see you have not addressed my comments at all.

Sorry, VMH et al, but I had to respond to the Guido-posting.  My rebuttal image has been posted as a blog instead of here.
