A Valentine card that puts a hot dog, a squeeze of mustard and a campfire at the center is a playful break from the roses and hearts that usually fill the category. The humor reflects a common early-twentieth-century habit of sending cards with comic or rustic scenes, sometimes called "comic valentines," which poked fun at courtship and romance. Its mix of outdoor cooking and sweetheart sentiment makes it a good example of how the holiday's imagery was adapted for everyday, lighthearted tastes.
