EDITORS COMMENTS
Four jovial Scotsmen in full regalia, proudly donning their tartan kilts, sporran, and bonnets, gather around an old-fashioned public toilet in this humorous comic postcard from the 20th century. The men, with mischievous grins on their faces, each reach into their pockets to retrieve a penny, ready to drop it into the slot of the antiquated farthing toilet. The economy of the situation is not lost on them, as they share a laugh and a camaraderie that transcends the simple cost of using the facilities. This lighthearted image, reminiscent of the iconic Scottish humor found in the works of Donald McGill, is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era. The men's playful banter and their colorful attire add to the fun and whimsy of the scene, making this postcard a cherished keepsake and a wonderful conversation starter. The intricate details of their kilts, sporrans, and even the coins they hold, show the care and attention to detail that went into creating this charming piece of British comic art.
