A Man in a Hurry - A Classic Comic Postcard from the 20th Century This delightful comic postcard, hailing from the 20th century, captures the humorous essence of everyday life with its charming illustration of a man in a great rush. The scene unfolds on a bustling British street, where our hapless hero, dressed in a suit and tie, is seen dashing through the traffic, his face contorted in a panicked expression. The cause of his haste? A pressing need to find a toilet, as indicated by the large roll of toilet paper clutched in his hand. With a car hot on his heels and a Belisha beacon blinking red, our hero must make a split-second decision. He leaps onto the pavement, narrowly avoiding a collision, and tears open the perforated edge of the toilet paper roll, dotted with tiny lines, to ensure he's prepared for the worst. This comic postcard, created by the renowned British illustrator Donald McGill, is a testament to the simple joys of humor and the universal experience of needing to find a restroom in a hurry. The intricate details of the illustration, from the man's frantic expression to the cars and pedestrians in the background, add to the overall sense of fun and lightheartedness. Whether you're a fan of classic comic art, vintage postcards, or just looking for a pick-me-up, this charming piece is sure to bring a smile to your face and transport you back in time to a simpler era.
