EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the harsh realities of World War II, a glimmer of innocence and humor shines through in this charming 1944 comic postcard. The image captures a young boy, dressed in wartime clothing, standing outside a clothing shop with a forlorn expression. He holds out a small bunch of coupons, explaining to a pretty girl standing next to him, "Wish I could buy you somefink, but I ain't got no money and these here coupons won't buy a thing worth having." With a playful grin, he adds, "So, here's wishing you a NO COUPON HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" The boy's simple gesture and the girl's warm smile convey a sense of joy and camaraderie that transcends the wartime hardships. The caricatured style of the illustration, reminiscent of the Regent artist Kit, adds to the light-hearted and amusing tone. The postcard serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and humor of children during the WWII era, offering a glimpse into the everyday experiences of the time. This sweet and fun postcard, published in 1944, is a testament to the enduring spirit of the human race, even in the face of adversity. The image of the little boy's heartfelt wish for the girl's birthday, despite his lack of resources, is a reminder that love and kindness can never be coupon-controlled.
