EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: "A Bit of Cheer for the Evacuees: A WW2 Comic Postcard" During the tumultuous times of World War II, laughter and lightheartedness were precious commodities. This charming comic postcard, featuring an evacuee baby and a pretty young woman, is a delightful reminder of the resilient spirit of the British people during wartime. The image on the postcard shows a young woman, dressed in a stylish hat and coat, engaged in a lively chat with a father, both of them leaning over the handlebars of a pram. The baby in the pram, bundled up against the cold, gazes up at them with a curious expression. The scene exudes a sense of warmth and camaraderie, as if to say that even in the midst of war, life goes on and there is still room for fun and connection. The comic element of the postcard is provided by the caption above the image, which reads, "Donald McGill's Chat: 'Paternity - It's a funny old thing, isn't it?'" This reference to the popular British comic artist Donald McGill, known for his humorous postcards, adds to the lighthearted tone of the image. This postcard is a testament to the power of humor to lift spirits and bring people together, even in the most challenging of times. The evacuee baby and the pretty young woman, along with the father and the gossiping bystanders, are all part of the rich tapestry of wartime Britain, a time of hardship and sacrifice, but also of community, connection, and the enduring human spirit.
