A Hilarious Father-Son Moment at the Comic Shop Window This charming 20th-century comic postcard, titled "Father and Son," captured by an unknown photographer, showcases a humorous exchange between a plump father and his slender son in front of a shop window. The scene unfolds in a quintessentially British setting, with the father and son standing in front of a quirky shop display. The father, with a mischievous grin on his face, points to a mountain range depicted in a bottle on the shop window, exclaiming, "Look at that, son! Those are molehills, and those are mountains!" The son, with an innocent expression, looks at his father in disbelief, holding up a nearby bottle with a single molehill and questioning, "Really, Dad? This is a mountain?" The father, not to be outdone, leans in and whispers, "Yes, son, in the world of Plumpo, the mountain developer, they are!" The son, now amused, laughs and shakes his head, as the father continues to explain the fantastical world of Plumpo and his mountain-making abilities. This postcard, published by the renowned British comic publisher, Donald McGill, is a delightful reminder of the playful banter and imaginative storytelling that can occur between a father and son. The use of humor and exaggeration in the depiction of the mountain and molehill adds to the overall fun and lightheartedness of the scene. This postcard is not only a wonderful keepsake but also a testament to the enduring bond between fathers and sons and their shared sense of humor.
