      I’m guessing a photographer wanted to take pictures of someone working but she didn’t like how she looked so she changed. Now the photographer doesn’t want the picture because it’s not realistic.

      A reporter was doing a story on their camp, and she didn’t want an authentic picture taken, so she made the reporter wait for her to get dressed up.

        My interpretation was that he was fainting because she looks so stunning. On second look, yours seems to be closer to the artist’s intent though.

    The “youth camp” back in the period these were drawn likely refers to a youth labor camp (rather than a recreation camp) These were a common thing during socialism - basically high school and college students were “volunteered” to help with seasonal labor (often crop harvesting) when school was out, and sometimes with large construction projects, irrigation/drainage, etc. It was generally unpaid and more or less mandatory work, but also an opportunity to live in a camp with other young people for the summer and socialize, so most people remember them quite fondly.

    Lost of photos here from that period, as an example

      Now that’s some very interesting context. I was picturing recreational summer camps and didn’t even consider that they could be labor camps.

      Reading the article, the first picture seems quite similar to the Jucika comic, lol.

      Ah, yes. Side-effects of slavery enabling people to romanticise the horrific fact they’re child slaves.

      Like comradery in an office job, but without even the pitiful amounts of income.

    Sometimes I try hard to take candid shots of people, but my consenting subjects are unwittingly real good at making it no longer candid.
