A Chillingly Funny Moment: A Middle-Aged Couple Discussing the Weather in this Delightfully Humorous Comic Postcard This charming comic postcard, titled "Couple discussing the weather. They say its freezing in exposed parts. - Well, people shouldn't expose them!" is a delightful snapshot of domestic humour from the 20th century. The image, by the renowned British comic artist Donald McGill, depicts a plump, frumpish woman in a red dress, wrapped in a shawl and holding a newspaper, engaged in a lively discussion with her husband. The man, with a pipe clenched between his teeth, is equally bundled up against the cold, wearing a heavy coat and a hat. The couple's conversation, as indicated by the caption, revolves around the weather and the importance of not exposing oneself to the cold. However, the double entendre in the caption adds an element of mischief and fun to the scene. The use of the word "exposed" can be taken both literally, in reference to the cold weather, and figuratively, adding a hint of innuendo to the interaction between the husband and wife. The image captures the essence of a cozy, humorous moment in the privacy of a couple's home, where the mundane topic of the weather becomes an opportunity for light-hearted banter and shared laughter. The use of comic art adds to the fun and whimsy of the scene, making this postcard a timeless treasure from the 20th century.
