EDITORS COMMENTS
"A Peek into the Neighbor's Window: The Unspoken Morning Ritual! This cheerful comic postcard, hailing from the 20th century, captures the amusing moment when our unsuspecting hero is struck by an unexpected observation as he sets off for work. The man next door, clad in a dressing gown and slippers, shares a heartfelt goodbye kiss with his wife, leaving our protagonist pondering the question, "Why don't you do the same?" But, hang it! Our man seems to have a valid excuse – he doesn't know the woman! This delightful scene, brought to life by the renowned British humorist Donald McGill, is filled with classic comic elements. The man, dressed in a bowler hat, holds an umbrella and a case, while his wife, equally charming, is adorned in a dressing gown and a dressing table full of cosmetics. The unattractive depiction of the man adds to the humor, making this postcard a fun and light-hearted reminder of a bygone era. McGill's clever use of wordplay and visual humor makes this postcard a must-have for any collection of vintage comic art. Whether you're a fan of classic British humor or simply looking for a laugh, this postcard is sure to bring a smile to your face and a chuckle to your day!"
