Wow! If the picture of the grass hopper on this postcard does not scare you than there is something wrong with you. This grass hopper, if it really existed, could surely take over all of man kind however, it is fortunately merely the concoction of hysterically talented photo shop users.
I choose this photo due to the humor in seeing a huge grass hopper being driven into town on the big old style truck. I also enjoyed the clever caption that was added underneath the photo stating: "Haulin Em Out." This photo was made by famous "photographer" Frank Conard of Garden City, Kansas. He manipulated it probably by taking an old picture of a man with a truck and adding in the image of a grass hopper on top of the truck. He finally enlarged the grass hopper to make it funny. It was manipulated for the purpose to entertain people who saw it and also to sell copies of the postcard bearing this image. I do not think that the manipulation was harmful, if anything, it brought a smile to many people who have viewed this picture over the years. Thats all for today so til next time, hop'e you don't run into any hoppers!
