A Delightful Misunderstanding: A 20th Century Comic Postcard This charming comic postcard, hailing from the 20th century, depicts a humorous scene of a middle-aged deaf woman wearing glasses and a hearing aid, sitting in a cozy living room setting. The expression on her face is one of confusion as she gazes at a young man, who stands before her, holding out a cat. The caption above her reads, "I thought you said date, dear!" The young man, looking somewhat perplexed, holds up the cat once more, this time making the meowing sound to clarify his intentions. The woman, still wearing her hearing aids, looks at the cat quizzically, her confusion evident in her furrowed brow. This delightful comic postcard, created by the renowned British artist Donald McGill, is a testament to the power of miscommunication and the importance of clear communication. The use of humor and lightheartedness in the depiction of the deaf woman's misunderstanding adds to the overall appeal of the postcard. The image also highlights the challenges faced by those with hearing impairments, and the importance of understanding and accommodating their needs. The use of the cat as a prop in the misunderstanding adds an element of whimsy and fun to the scene. The postcard's vintage aesthetic, with its intricate border design and muted colors, adds to its overall charm and appeal. This is a wonderful piece of British comic art that is sure to bring a smile to your face and a laugh to those around you. In conclusion, this 20th century comic postcard is a delightful and humorous depiction of a misunderstanding between a deaf woman and a young man. The use of humor and lightheartedness, combined with the vintage aesthetic, makes this a must-have for any collection of comic art or postcard memorabilia.
