A Chortle of Consolation: A 20th Century British Comic Postcard Depiction of Grief and Companionship in the Cemetery This delightfully quirky and humorous comic postcard, dated from the 20th century, captures the essence of a grieving widow's unexpected encounter in the cemetery. The scene unfolds with a middle-aged woman, dressed in mourning attire, sitting on a gravestone, dabbing her tears with a large handkerchief. Her sorrowful expression is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of a man, who, with a friendly wave and a cheerful "Hello, there!" attempts to console her with an offer of a comic book. The man, depicted as a jovial, middle-aged fellow, is none other than the famous comic character, Henry Peck, from the popular British comic strip, 'Donald Duck's Cousin' by Don and Maria Bell. Henry, accompanied by his faithful canine companion, approaches the grieving woman with an armful of comic books, hoping to bring a smile to her face and ease her pain. The woman, initially taken aback by the interruption, is soon won over by Henry's light-hearted approach and the comforting presence of her beloved dog, who has appeared by her side. The scene concludes with the woman laughing and sharing a moment of peace with Henry and her pet, as they all enjoy a comic book together amongst the headstones. This charming comic postcard, with its blend of humor, compassion, and the unexpected, serves as a poignant reminder that even in the face of loss, there is always room for laughter and companionship.
