Just Thawed Out: A 20th Century Comic Postcard Chronicle of Domestic Bliss (or the Absence Thereof)! Once upon a time, in a quaint corner of the 20th century, a husband and wife found themselves in the throes of an unexpected seasonal predicament. This delightful comic postcard captures the moment of their triumphant emergence from their icy abode, their faces a testament to the agony and ecstasy of thawing out after a long winter's freeze. The scene unfolds in a cozy, British home, where the couple, bundled up in layers of clothing, huddle around the stove, their eyes wide with wonder and relief as the first signs of warmth begin to permeate their frozen bones. The woman, with a triumphant grin, holds a kettle aloft, while her husband, with a look of pure bliss, clutches a steaming mug of tea. Meanwhile, in the background, the remnants of their wintery woes are on full display. A radiator puffs out steam, a frozen rink transforms into a puddle, and the couple's bottoms, still clad in their thickest layers, are a stark reminder of the painful sensations they've just endured. This charming postcard, by the renowned British comic artist Donald McGill, is a delightful snapshot of the simple joys of domestic life – the shared experience of overcoming adversity, the warmth of a loving relationship, and the sweet relief of feeling the first stirrings of sensation in your toes!
