The Rabbit Problem
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Delightful 20th Century Comic Postcard This charming and humorous comic postcard, titled "The Rabbit Problem," features a boy and a girl standing in front of an overflowing rabbit hutch, surrounded by an army of multiplying rabbits. The scene is reminiscent of a classic British comic strip, with its exaggerated expressions, simple yet witty dialogue, and a touch of slapstick humor. The boy, with a look of disbelief and exasperation on his face, points to the hutch and exclaims, "Look what we've got ourselves into!" The girl, with a mischievous grin, responds, "Well, we did say we wanted a few pets..." The rabbits, in various poses of reproduction and multiplication, burst out of the hutch, their ears twitching and their eyes gleaming with mischief. The scene is a playful commentary on the challenges and joys of pet ownership, particularly when it comes to the unintended consequences of breeding and the exponential growth of a pet population. The postcard is a delightful relic of the 20th century, with its simple yet effective use of line, color, and text to convey a humorous and relatable message. The influence of Donald McGill, the famous British postcard artist known for his saucy and humorous designs, can be seen in the exaggerated expressions and the clever use of dialogue. Overall, this comic postcard is a fun and lighthearted reminder of the joys and challenges of pet ownership, and a testament to the enduring appeal of comic art in capturing the human experience.
