Title: "Drunken Husband Arrives Home" - A Classic Comic Postcard from the 20th Century, Mary Evans Picture Library This charming and humorous comic postcard, titled "Drunken Husband Arrives Home," is a delightful snapshot of British humor from the 20th century. The image features a disheveled and drunken man, dressed in a suit and tie, stumbling through the front door of his house. His wife, sitting in a chair in the bedroom, looks up at him with a mixture of annoyance and exasperation. The man clutches a bottle of alcohol in one hand and leans heavily on the doorframe with the other, his eyes glassy and unfocused. The scene is further enlivened by a wire hanging above the bed, which reads "Question: Why did the man go to the doctor?" The answer, written on a separate piece of paper, reads "Answer: To get his wife's permission to go to the pub." The man's friend, who stands in the background, looks on with a knowing smirk. This postcard is a testament to the enduring appeal of humor and the universal experiences of marriage and alcohol. The image is reminiscent of the works of famous comic artists such as Don Burgess and Donald McGill, who were known for their humorous and often risqué postcard art. Despite the passage of time, the humor in this postcard remains fresh and entertaining, making it a must-have for any collection of vintage comic art or memorabilia. Whether you're a fan of British humor, comic art, or simply looking for a lighthearted and fun addition to your home decor, this "Drunken Husband Arrives Home" postcard is sure to bring a smile to your face.
