Title: "The Dissatisfied Guest" - A Humorous 20th Century Comic Postcard This delightful comic postcard, titled "The Dissatisfied Guest," is a charming example of British humor from the 20th century. The image captures a young, pretty woman sitting on a bedroom stool, looking displeased as she holds up a notice for the hotel manager. The scene is set in a cozy, old-fashioned hotel room, with a lamp casting a warm glow on the woman and the surrounding area. The woman's expression conveys her frustration and disappointment, as if she has encountered yet another issue with her hotel stay. Her arms are crossed, and her pout adds to the comical effect. In her hand, she holds a notice that reads, "Manager, I want to talk to you about the bed!" The telephone on the bedside table rings, adding to the sense of urgency and communication problems. The woman glances over at the phone, perhaps considering calling the manager herself, but ultimately decides to wait for him to come to her. This postcard, published by Donald McGill, is a testament to the humor and wit of the 20th century. The image is both fun and funny, with a touch of satire and irony. It pokes fun at the common frustrations of traveling and staying in hotels, and the challenges of communication before the age of smartphones and instant messaging. Overall, "The Dissatisfied Guest" is a charming and amusing addition to any collection of vintage postcards or humor memorabilia. It is a reminder of a simpler time, when a little humor and a well-placed notice could go a long way in addressing customer complaints.
