EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this delightful 20th-century comic postcard! Featuring a quirky cast of characters, this postcard is a charming snapshot of a bygone era. On the left, we have a dapper gentleman, holding a stack of letters and a phone with a puzzled expression. "Palomine, why aren't you answering my calls?" he laments. In the background, we see a street scene with a sign for "Stoney Seaside" and a red phone box. On the right, we find our mischievous pal, Pal, sitting on a stoop with a pile of money and a note. "Dear Don, I'm a bit queer for cash right now," he writes, as he cashes in some notes at the post office. The note in his hand reads, "Pal, mine, I'm broke," a classic pun that would have had his friends rolling with laughter. This postcard is a fun and humorous reminder of a time when communication relied on pen and paper, and a call to a friend could only be made from a phone booth. The image of Pal, the ever-resourceful friend, cashing in his notes adds a touch of whimsy and financial intrigue to the scene. With its vibrant colors and playful characters, this postcard is sure to bring a smile to your face and transport you back to a simpler time. Whether you're a fan of British humor, comic art, or just looking for a unique and fun addition to your collection, this postcard is a must-have!
