Perfect Wives
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Joyce Dennys: The Unfortunate Encounter with Man Flu (1929) In this humorous and amusing illustration by Joyce Dennys, titled "The Wife who had influenza too," we find ourselves in the midst of a common domestic predicament. The scene portrays a bedridden husband, suffering from what appears to be a severe case of "man flu," while his wife, also bedridden due to influenza, attends to his every need. With her characteristic wit and humor, Dennys captures the essence of the age-old debate surrounding the severity of men's illnesses compared to those of women. The husband, with a pitiful expression, lies in bed, wrapped in blankets, while his wife, who looks equally unwell, brings him a tray of food and a glass of water. The caption above the image reads, "Despite suffering herself, a woman ends up waiting upon her husband who has a serious case of man flu." The cartoon is a testament to the enduring bond between couples, even during times of illness. The husband's helplessness and the wife's unwavering care and devotion are portrayed with a lighthearted touch, making for a delightful and relatable image. The illustration, published in 1929, remains as relevant today as it was then, offering a humorous commentary on the roles and expectations of husbands and wives in the context of illness and caregiving. Joyce Dennys, a British illustrator and cartoonist, is known for her humorous and insightful depictions of everyday life and relationships. "Perfect Wives" is a series of cartoons that explores various aspects of marriage and the challenges and joys that come with it. This particular illustration, "The Wife who had influenza too," is a charming and amusing reminder of the sacrifices and support that couples offer each other, even when they're both under the weather.
