The Unfortunate Walker
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Humorous 20th Century Comic Postcard This delightfully quirky and humorous comic postcard, titled "The Unfortunate Walker," showcases a man in a rather unfortunate predicament as he goes about his daily business. The man, dressed in trousers and a shirt, is seen from the waist down, with his feet clad in worn-out shoes that have seen better days. The left shoe boasts a large hole in the sole, while the right shoe's toe box is worn through, revealing the man's toes. The man's expression is priceless as he walks along, seemingly unaware of the state of his footwear. His legs, covered in beige trousers, are bent at the knees, and his feet are positioned in a determined, yet comically exaggerated, walking stance. The man's shoes, a mix of brown, beige, and blue, add to the overall charm of this lighthearted image. This postcard is a perfect example of the classic British humour that was popular during the 20th century. It's a reminder that even in the most mundane moments of life, there's always room for a bit of fun and laughter. The man's predicament is relatable and amusing, making this postcard a must-have for any collection of vintage comic art. The postcard's design is attributed to the renowned British comic artist Donald McGill, known for his humorous and often risqué postcards. However, this particular postcard is not one of his more risqué works, but rather a delightful example of his ability to find humour in everyday life. Overall, "The Unfortunate Walker" is a charming and amusing addition to any collection of vintage comic art, and a reminder that sometimes, the simplest things in life can bring the most joy and laughter.
