EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Hilarious 20th Century Comic Postcard This delightful comic postcard, hailing from the 20th century, captures the unexpected and humorous nature of a phone call in an era before mobile phones. The image features a young, attractive couple, Bob and Mary, lying in bed, engrossed in a heartfelt conversation. The man, Bob, is fully clothed, with a worried expression on his face, while Mary, dressed in a pretty pink slip, skimpy suspenders, and stockings, is in the process of undressing. The scene takes a comical turn as the phone rings, interrupting their moment. Bob hesitates, unsure of whether to answer, as Mary, now only in her underwear, looks at him with a playful grin. The caption below reads, "Strangers on the phone!" adding to the amusing situation. This charming postcard is a testament to the innocence and humor of the 20th century. It is a wonderful reminder of a time when phone calls could bring unexpected surprises and even a bit of excitement to one's day. The artistry of this comic postcard, reminiscent of the works of renowned British comic artists like Donald McGill, adds to its appeal and makes it a must-have for any collection.
