The Anxious Wife,
EDITORS COMMENTS
20th Century Comic Postcard This delightful comic postcard, titled "The Anxious Wife," is a humorous take on the age-old question of whether women prefer thin or plump husbands. The image features a thin, worried-looking woman in an apron, sitting at a kitchen table and confiding in a plump, friendly-looking woman. The thin woman holds up a photograph of her husband, who is shown to be rather frumpish and absent-minded, with a question mark above his head. The plump woman, with a knowing smile, responds with a reassuring "Don't worry, love, you'll soon find someone better!" The comic postcard is a quintessential example of British humor from the 20th century. It pokes fun at the idea that women are always on the lookout for better men and that they are never truly satisfied with their current partners. The thin woman's worried expression and the plump woman's confident response add to the lighthearted and fun tone of the postcard. The image also touches on the themes of love, attraction, and loss. The thin woman's anxiety about her husband's shortcomings suggests that she may be feeling a sense of hopelessness in her marriage. The plump woman's reassuring response offers a glimmer of hope that things will get better. The postcard also highlights the importance of communication and the value of confiding in friends during difficult times. Overall, "The Anxious Wife" is a charming and amusing postcard that is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face. Its timeless humor and relatable themes make it a must-have for any collection of vintage comic postcards.
