A Chat Over Tea with Donald McGill - Cats and Kittens
EDITORS COMMENTS
(circa 20th century) This delightful comic postcard, featuring the iconic British humourist Donald McGill, showcases a light-hearted scene of a mother and her friend enjoying a visit from their feline companions. The mother, dressed in a floral apron and holding a teapot, engages in a lively conversation with her friend, who is equally captivated by the antics of their two kittens. The playful twist in this image lies in the presence of two kittens with missing tails. The mother, with a knowing smile, points to one of the kittens and says, "This one's a Manx, you know," referring to the breed of cats native to the Isle of Man, famous for having short tails. Her friend, equally amused, replies, "Oh, I see! So that makes the other one...?" The cats, with their expressive faces and human-like behaviour, add to the humour of the scene. The mother's cat sits attentively, listening to the conversation, while the friend's cat looks on with a mischievous grin. The overall composition of the postcard is a charming mixture of humour, fun, and the humanised relationship between people and their pets. The 20th century Donald McGill postcard is a testament to the enduring appeal of British humour and the unique way it captures everyday life, even in the most unexpected and amusing ways.
