EDITORS COMMENTS
A Night of Confusion: An Italian Comic Postcard from the 1930s In this delightful Italian comic postcard from the 1930s, a dapper young man, slightly worse for wear after an evening of high society and copious amounts of alcohol, returns home, only to be met with a perplexing conundrum. His less-than-pleased wife, with a cunning smile, has taken advantage of her husband's addled brain and painted multiple keyholes on the front door, further confusing the young dandy. The young man, wearing a smart suit, top hat, and tails, clutches a bottle of beer in one hand and a white scarf in the other, as he stands before the door in a state of befuddlement. His double vision makes it difficult for him to discern which keyhole is the real one. The wife, with a mischievous grin, watches from the window, her crossed arms and annoyed expression adding to the humor of the scene. This humorous comic postcard captures the essence of the confusion and chaos that can ensue after a night of drinking, and the playful cunning of a wife looking to teach her husband a lesson. The use of bold lines, bright colors, and exaggerated expressions adds to the overall fun and silly nature of the image, making it a delightful addition to any collection of vintage Italian comics or postcards.
