EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the somber backdrop of the First World War, a glimmer of humor emerges in this charming, saucy postcard from the 1910s. The image features a cat and a dog, both donning military peaked caps and playfully engaging in a flirtatous exchange. The cat, with a coy expression and a flirtatious tilt of its head, gazes seductively at the dog. The dog, wearing a mischievous grin, leans in, seemingly ready to respond to the cat's advances. This comic postcard, titled "Donald McGill's Saucy Sauce," is a testament to the humanized humor that pervaded popular culture during the early 20th century. The use of anthropomorphized animals in saucy situations was a common theme in British humor, and this postcard is a prime example of the genre. The soldiers on the front lines may have been far from home and facing the harsh realities of war, but this postcard offers a brief respite from the seriousness of their situation. The saucy cat and gay dog provide a lighthearted moment of fun and entertainment, reminding us that even in the darkest of times, there is always room for a little humor and levity.
