Seasick Sailors: A Humorous Take on 20th Century Nautical Misadventures! Step aboard this vintage comic postcard and join two unfortunate gentlemen as they brave the rough seas on their holiday cruise. Hailing from the British Isles, these jolly jesters, Donald and McGill, are seen in various stages of discomfort as they battle the tumultuous waves. The caption reads, "Sea Sickness on Board Ship," a fitting description for the scene unfolding before us. Donald, with a greenish tint to his complexion and a hand pressed against his forehead, looks ready to surrender to the merciless sea. McGill, on the other hand, is doubled over, with one hand clutching his stomach and the other grasping the ship's railing for dear life. Their expressions of discomfort and despair are a testament to the challenges of maritime travel in the 20th century. This charming, humorous postcard, with its intricate line work and vibrant colors, is a delightful reminder of the joys and trials of yesteryear's holidays. Whether you're a fan of classic comic art or simply appreciate a good chuckle, this seasick seafaring duo is sure to bring a smile to your face. So, next time you're feeling a bit queasy on a cruise or sailing trip, take solace in the fact that you're not alone – even the bravest of sailors have succumbed to the wrath of the sea!
