The Early Bird Cat
EDITORS COMMENTS
(circa 1918) This charming comic postcard, titled "The Early Bird Cat," depicts a mischievous tomcat named Donald, eagerly waiting by the closed door for his partner to be put out for the night. Dressed in a dapper bow tie and suspenders, Donald's playful expression and crossed paws suggest that he's up to no good once his lady love has departed. The quirky illustration, reminiscent of the whimsical style of the 1910s, is the work of renowned British humorist and illustrator, Don McGill. McGill, known for his humorous and lighthearted take on everyday life, expertly captures the essence of the mischievous tomcat in this delightful vignette. The closed door, a common motif in McGill's work, adds to the playful tension and anticipation in the scene. The cats' human-like behavior and wardrobe add an amusing layer of anthropomorphism, making this postcard a delightful find for cat lovers and collectors of early 20th-century humor. The "The Early Bird Cat" postcard is a fun and whimsical reminder of the enduring appeal of cats and their playful antics. This collectible piece, with its rich history and timeless humor, is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face and add a touch of whimsy to any collection.
