EDITORS COMMENTS
A hilarious 20th-century comic postcard captures the quintessential British experience of being 'broke' in the most unexpected way. The image features a disheveled man in a bowler hat, sitting dejectedly on a chair, with a pile of coins and notes spilling out of a broken beer bottle in front of him. The bottle, adorned with the distinctive red triangle and gold 'Boodles' logo, seems to mock him with its shattered state. The man's expression of disbelief and despair is priceless, as he stares at the pile of money, clearly not enough to quench his thirst or alleviate his financial woes. The postcard's caption reads, "When you've spent your last penny on a postal order and your change comes in notes!" The comic postcard is a nod to the iconic British humor, with its witty commentary on the struggles of managing money and the unexpected twists that life can throw at us. The image brings to mind the famous quote by Samuel Johnson, "A man is not truly rich until he's rich in boring, which is to say, until he's financially secure." The postcard's design is reminiscent of the classic Donald McGill comic postcards, with its bold colors, exaggerated characters, and humorous commentary. The use of the Boodles bottle adds an extra layer of humor, as it is a nod to the British pub culture and the tradition of drinking a cold pint after a long day. Overall, this comic postcard is a fun and lighthearted reminder of the ups and downs of managing money and the importance of finding humor in everyday life.
