The Man Who Milked the Radio
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Hilarious 20th Century Comic Postcard In this delightfully quirky and amusing comic postcard from the 20th century, a middle-aged man is shown sitting in his armchair, engrossed in listening to the radio. With a bottle of alcohol in one hand and a glass in the other, he seems to be in a state of blissful relaxation. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of a cow, complete with udders and a bell, standing next to him, as if ready to provide him with a never-ending supply of milk. The man's expression suggests that he has found a new way to multitask - listening to the broadcast while milking a cow, all from the comfort of his own home! The comic postcard, created by renowned British artist Donald McGill, is a masterclass in double entendre and innuendo. The cow, with its suggestive name, adds an extra layer of humor to the already amusing image. The man's wife or 'missus' might not be amused, however, when she sees the empty bottle and the pricey stock of cows' milk on the table! The comic postcard is a reminder of a bygone era when humor was simpler, lighter, and more playful. It is a testament to the power of the human imagination and the ability to find humor in the most mundane situations. So sit back, relax, and let yourself be transported to a time when life was a little more carefree and a lot more fun!
