The Parrot's Lesson in Bad Language
EDITORS COMMENTS
(circa 20th century) This delightfully humorous comic postcard from the 20th century, published by the renowned British firm, Donald McGill, features a man in a state of distress as he lets out a string of expletives in front of an amused parrot. The man, with a hammer in hand and a thumb bandaged from an apparent accident, stands before a wooden crate, seemingly cursing the pain and frustration that comes with home improvement projects. The parrot, perched on a nearby railing, cocks its head and repeats the man's colorful language back to him, much to his chagrin. The man's shocked expression and the parrot's smug gaze add to the comedic effect of this scene. This postcard is a testament to the enduring appeal of the comic postcard genre, with its witty humor and clever use of language. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of the illustration bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer to a bygone era. The man's disheveled appearance and the parrot's elaborate plumage add to the visual interest of the image. This postcard is not only a fun and funny addition to any collection but also a reminder of the simple joys of comic art and the power of a well-placed punchline. The use of language in this postcard is both humorous and educational, as the man learns that even the most colorful of words may not be limited to human use. The parrot's role as the wise-cracking commentator adds to the overall humor of the scene and makes for a memorable and entertaining visual experience.
