EDITORS COMMENTS
Whether You've Gone for a Year or a Day: A Cute and Humorous WW2 Comic Postcard from 1945 During the World War II era, comic postcards served as a source of lighthearted relief and wartime humor. This particular postcard, published in 1945, depicts a young girl standing by a sunny fence, holding an umbrella and gazing expectantly at the horizon. The title, "Whether You've Gone for a Year or a Day," adds to the anticipation as the little girl waits for the return of her loved one. The charming illustration, created by the talented artist Mabel Lucie Attwell, exudes a sense of innocence and optimism. The bright colors and cheerful design were more common in comic cards during the later stages of the war, when the end seemed to be in sight. The image has been worked on multiple times with different captions, showcasing the versatility of this delightful piece. The girl's expression is filled with hope and excitement, and her pose suggests that she is eager to share her news or receive a letter from her absent loved one. The sunny, green background and the fence add to the idyllic setting, creating a sense of warmth and comfort. This postcard is a testament to the resilience and optimism of the people during the WW2 era. It serves as a reminder that even in the midst of hardship and uncertainty, there was still room for joy and humor in everyday life. The enduring appeal of this charming image continues to captivate audiences, making it a cherished piece of history and a symbol of the human spirit.
