EDITORS COMMENTS
A Charming Scene of 20th Century Nostalgia: "Short Change at the Cafe" This delightful comic postcard, titled "Short Change at the Cafe," transports us back to a simpler time, brimming with humor and charm. The scene unfolds at a quaint British cafe counter, where a pretty, young woman in a red dress and a handbag clutched tightly to her side, stands before a middle-aged man with a balding head and a pot belly. The man, who appears to be the cafe owner or server, leans over the counter, a corkscrew in one hand and a kettle in the other. The woman's expression is a picture of anxiety as she realizes she's come up short on change for her bill. The man, with a twinkle in his eye and a knowing smirk, seems to relish the moment, as if this happens more often than not. The contrast between the woman's youthful innocence and the man's world-weary demeanor adds to the humor of the situation. This charming postcard, reminiscent of the works of renowned British comic artists like Donald McGill, is a testament to the power of a well-timed joke and a delightful slice of 20th-century life. It's a fun and lighthearted reminder of a bygone era, where a simple misunderstanding could lead to a moment of levity and connection between strangers in a quaint little cafe.
