The Milking Man
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Classic Comic Postcard from the 20th Century This delightful comic postcard, hailing from the 20th century, features a humorous scene of a man attempting to milk a cow in the rural countryside. The man, identified as "Donald," is shown leaning against a fence with a gate ajar behind him, suggesting he may have wandered into someone else's farmyard for an uninvited treat. With a bucket and pail in hand, Donald sits precariously on a stool, his drunken state evident from the bottle tucked under his jacket. The cow, with a look of criticism on her face, seems to be offering her own brand of advice as she gazes disapprovingly at the man's clumsy efforts. The cartoon-style illustration, reminiscent of the iconic McGill images, adds to the lighthearted and fun nature of the postcard. The scene is a playful commentary on the challenges of rural life and the occasional mishaps that come with farming. Despite the man's less-than-ideal situation, the overall mood of the postcard is cheerful and entertaining. It serves as a charming reminder of a simpler time, when a moment of misadventure could still bring a smile to one's face.
