EDITORS COMMENTS
20th Century Comic Postcard This delightful comic postcard, titled "Boy and Girl with Book - Advice to Young Mothers," dates back to the 20th century and is a charming addition to any collection. The image features a boy and a girl, both engrossed in their respective books, sitting at a table in a cozy, sunlit room. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and the joy of learning, as the children focus intently on their reading material. The humor in this postcard comes from the conversation bubble above the boy's head, where he is giving advice to the girl, who looks up from her book, slightly puzzled. The boy's suggestion, "If you want to be a good mother, you must read to your children every day," is a playful take on the importance of literacy and education in child-rearing. This postcard is a testament to the timeless wisdom and humor found in British comic art. It is reminiscent of the works of Donald McGill, a renowned British comic artist known for his humorous postcards and calendars. The simple yet effective use of visual storytelling and dialogue in this postcard continues to amuse and delight viewers, making it a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts of comic art and pop culture history. The "Boy and Girl with Book - Advice to Young Mothers" postcard is a fun and lighthearted reminder of the importance of reading and the role it plays in shaping the lives of young children. It is a conversation starter and a wonderful conversation piece, perfect for brightening up any room or adding a touch of whimsy to your decor. Whether you're a fan of comic art, a collector, or simply someone who appreciates a good laugh, this postcard is sure to bring a smile to your face.
