EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightful 20th-century comic postcard captures the essence of female camaraderie and the playful use of language over a glass of beer. In the image, two plump, middle-aged women, each carrying a handbag, sit at a cozy saloon bar. One woman, with a knowing smile and expressive eyes, leans in close to her friend, who listens intently with a furrowed brow. The caption above their heads reads, "Woman chats to a friend about her husband." The scene is filled with double meanings and entendres, as the women engage in a verbal exchange that is both humorous and fun. The woman on the left, with a full glass of beer in hand, comments, "Did I ever tell you about the time my Donald went to the McGill's for a drink and came home with a new set of encyclopedias?" Her friend, with a mischievous grin, replies, "Oh, that's nothing! My husband once came home from the pub with a new set of curtains!" The women's animated conversation continues, as they share stories and confide in each other over their drinks. The comic postcard captures the lighthearted and playful nature of female friendship, as well as the double meanings and innuendos that can often be found in everyday conversations between women.
