The Morning After - A Tale of Two Pub-Goers
EDITORS COMMENTS
(circa 20th century) This delightfully humorous comic postcard captures the essence of an all-too-familiar scenario: two women, one in the throes of a hangover, the other taking amused pleasure in serving her friend a hearty breakfast at the local pub. The plump, middle-aged woman on the left, with a look of despair on her face and her hair in disarray, is clearly suffering from the aftermath of a night of heavy drinking. Her companion, a slender, smiling barman, seems to relish the opportunity to poke a little fun at her expense. The woman on the right, dressed in a frumpish outfit and wearing an amused expression, leans over the counter, ready to serve her friend a steaming plate of greasy food. The scene is set in a traditional British pub, with the barman wearing a striped apron and the walls adorned with various beer signs and memorabilia. The woman on the left clutches her head in her hands, her face a picture of misery, while her friend seems to find the situation quite amusing. This charming postcard, reminiscent of the works of renowned British comic illustrator Donald McGill, is a fun and lighthearted take on the universal experience of a hangover. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of pub culture and the camaraderie that can be found even in the most unexpected places.
