A Promised Walk in the Rain,
EDITORS COMMENTS
20th Century Comic Postcard This delightful comic postcard, dated from the 20th century, captures the whimsical and humorous take on a classic scene of a little girl braving the rain. The image features a young girl, with ringlets cascading down her shoulders, donning a blue raincoat and boots, her hands tucked away in her pockets. She's wearing a hat with a cherub on it, a determined expression on her face, as she walks through the puddles, her umbrella broken and abandoned beside her. The verse on the postcard reads, "I promised her a walk in the rain, she wore her best coat and her new boots so fine, but when we reached the corner, the rain came down in a deluge, and her umbrella broke in two, oh, what a pity, what a pity, but she laughed and said, 'It's just a little rain, let's run and jump in the puddles, and make a funny face at the clouds above!'" This charming postcard, reminiscent of the works of Donald McGill, is a testament to the British sense of humor and the joy of finding fun in unexpected situations. The little girl's unwavering spirit and infectious smile remind us that even on the rainiest of days, there's always a reason to keep moving forward and find joy in the simple things. This dependable and reliable promise of a comic moment is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face, no matter the weather.
