Two Women Having Breakfast: A Deliciously Hilarious Scene from the Vicar's Postcard Collection! Step back in time with this charming, 20th-century comic postcard titled "Two Women Having Breakfast." This humorous masterpiece, created by the renowned British satirical artist Donald McGill, is a delightful blend of wit and wordplay that is sure to bring a smile to your face. The scene depicts two unmarried women, clad in their Sunday best, sitting at a quaint table adorned with a teapot, teacups, and a loaf of bread. The older woman, with a shocked expression, has just dropped a piece of bread into her teacup, causing her companion to look on in surprise. The caption reads, "Mother: 'Oh dear, I do believe I've dropped a bit of bread in my tea!' Daughter: 'Don't worry, Mother, it's only a loaf!'" This double entendre, with its clever use of language and unexpected twist, is a hallmark of McGill's work. His comic postcards were famous for their innuendo and playful humor, which often poked fun at the social norms and expectations of the time. As you savor the humor of this scene, imagine the conversation between these two spinsters, their laughter echoing through the room, and the surprise on the face of any unsuspecting vicar who might have stumbled upon this scene. This postcard is a delightful reminder of a bygone era and the simple joys of a good cup of tea and a hearty laugh.
