This comic postcard was not mailed, so there is no personal story attached to it.

On the face, we see a drawing of a beautiful young women.

The red gown of the young lady is not closed, or has become undone, in the back.

An older man, red-faced and portly, is attempting to clasp, zip, or otherwise secure the garment.

The printed title explains, “Hitch Behind”.

The humor is in the ambiguity of the word “hitch”

To hitch behind would most often describe a horse-drawn vehicle or doubling up on a horse or other beast of burden.

But the word “hitch” is also applied to knots, a difficulty or interruption (a hitch in the plans), items tied together, a free ride (hitching a ride), even marriage (“getting hitched”).

The image might suggest that the beautiful young mare is pulling an ungainly wagon behind her.

The postcard was printed in the United States; I could not find any indication of the postcard artist.

It appears that some postcard collector was amused by the subject matter or saved the postcard for an appropriate recipient.

Considering that many comic postcards were not printed on high-quality paper or with the best printers, this postcard was preserved in very good condition for more than a century.
