The Married Couple's Rough Enccounter
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Hilarious 20th Century Comic Postcard This delightful comic postcard, hailing from the 20th century, captures the playful and humorous side of married life. The image depicts a married couple in the midst of a heated argument, with the man and woman each showing signs of agitation and aggression. The man, with a determined look on his face, swings a rolling pin with both hands, while the woman retaliates with a raised black eye and a clenched fist, ready to deliver a punch. Despite the rough and tumble appearance, the overall tone of the postcard is light-hearted and funny. The exaggerated expressions and cartoonish style of the illustration add to the comedic effect, making it a charming and amusing representation of the ups and downs of marriage. The postcard is a classic example of the British humour that was popular during the 20th century. It is reminiscent of the works of Donald McGill, a famous British comic postcard artist known for his humorous and often risqué designs. McGill's postcards were a staple of British popular culture and were widely collected and shared among friends and family. This comic postcard is a fun and light-hearted reminder of the past, and a testament to the enduring power of humour to bring people together, even in the midst of a marital spat. Whether you're looking to add a touch of nostalgia to your home or collection, or simply want to bring a smile to someone's face, this postcard is sure to deliver.
