A Hilarious 20th Century Hotel Complaint: A Classic Comic Postcard by Donald McGill! Step back in time with this delightful comic postcard from the 20th century, featuring a humorous scene at a British hotel reception. Two astonished women, dressed in their finest attire, are seen complaining to the receptionist about an unwelcome guest in their room - a large red insect! The men, looking equally surprised, are shown packing their suitcases in a state of shock. The scene is set at the hotel counter, where the women are signing their complaint book with a look of disbelief on their faces. The receptionist, a pretty young woman, seems unfazed by the situation, calmly reaching for a pen and ink to register the complaint. The man on the left, wearing a suit and tie, looks particularly shocked, with his hand covering his mouth in disbelief. His companion, a woman in a floral dress, looks equally surprised, her eyes wide with astonishment. The comic touch is added by the cartoon-style illustration of the bug, which is shown peeking out from the corner of the scene, adding to the women's shock and the men's amusement. This classic comic postcard is a fun and humorous reminder of a bygone era, when travel mishaps could still bring a smile to our faces! This charming postcard is a perfect addition to any collection of vintage travel memorabilia, and is sure to bring a smile to the faces of friends and family when shared. Don't miss out on this delightful piece of 20th century British humor - add it to your collection today!
