EDITORS COMMENTS
A Delightful 20th Century Comic Postcard: Boy and Girl, Birds and Bees This charming comic postcard, dated from the 20th century, depicts a boy and a girl sitting in an armchair, each engrossed in their own book. The boy, with a quizzical expression, looks up at the girl, who appears to be reading a book titled 'Facts of Life.' The scene is further enhanced by the presence of a birdcage in the corner, housing a bird and a bee in a double cage. The double entendre in this comic postcard is both amusing and thought-provoking. On the surface, the image suggests a scene of domestic bliss, with the children quietly learning about the world around them. However, the inclusion of the birds and bees in cages adds an unexpected layer of meaning. The birds and bees are often used as metaphors for the birds and bees talk, a discussion about the facts of life and the realities of growing up. The fact that they are in cages could be seen as a commentary on the limitations and confines of such discussions, or a reminder that even the most natural and inevitable aspects of life can feel restrictive or overwhelming to young minds. This comic postcard, created by the renowned British artist Donald McGill, is a testament to the power of visual storytelling and the enduring appeal of humorous art. With its clever use of double meanings and subtle humor, it continues to delight and intrigue viewers, offering a glimpse into the past while also resonating with contemporary audiences.
