A Hilarious Encounter Between a Lodger and His Unconventional Landlady! (Comic Postcard, 20th Century) Step back in time with this delightfully humorous comic postcard from the 20th century, featuring an amusing interaction between a lodger and his eccentric landlady. The scene unfolds as Mr. Jones, a dapper gentleman with a pipe in hand, sits at the breakfast table, nursing a hangover from the previous night's festivities. His landlady, an unconventional woman with a cigar clenched between her fingers and a stern expression on her face, hovers over him, her hands on her hips. The caption above the image reads, "Morning, Mr. Jones! I hope you had a good night out. I didn't hear you come in, but I could tell by the smell of whiskey on your breath." The landlady's accusatory tone and Mr. Jones' sheepish expression add to the lighthearted and comical atmosphere of the scene. This charming postcard is a perfect example of the humorous and often irreverent style of British comic art from the 20th century. With its exaggerated characters and witty dialogue, this postcard is sure to bring a smile to your face and transport you back to a simpler time. The artwork on this postcard is attributed to the renowned comic artist Donald McGill, known for his saucy and humorous illustrations. This particular postcard is not to be confused with the commercial use of the McGill name and image, but rather a genuine piece of historical art from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection.
