The Unhappy Mother Cat and Her Discontented Kittens
EDITORS COMMENTS
(circa 20th century) This charming and whimsical comic postcard, featuring an unhappy mother cat with her kittens, is a delightful example of British humor from the 20th century. The image, created by renowned comic postcard artist Donald McGill, showcases a humanized mother cat sitting on a chair, looking displeased while her kittens playfully tug at her dress and leave toys scattered around. The mother cat's expression conveys a sense of frustration and dissatisfaction, reminiscent of a human mother's exasperation with her mischievous children. The humor in this postcard lies in the anthropomorphic portrayal of the cats, as well as the relatable situation of a mother dealing with her playful offspring. The mother cat's human-like attire, complete with a floral dress and an apron, adds to the comedic effect. The kittens, with their mischievous grins and playful antics, are sure to bring a smile to the viewer's face. This postcard is a testament to the enduring appeal of comic postcards and the ability of humor to transcend time and culture. It is a fun and lighthearted reminder of the joys and challenges of motherhood, even in the form of a mother cat and her kittens. The postcard's vintage aesthetic and charming illustration make it a must-have for any collection of comic postcards or cat-themed memorabilia.
