EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this delightful 20th century comic postcard depicting three jovial Stone Age men enjoying a quiet game of cards, or so it seems! These primal pals, with their furry attire and stone age accessories, have taken a break from their daily hunter-gatherer routines to indulge in a leisurely pastime. The serene setting is completed by the backdrop of picturesque rocks and the tranquil atmosphere. The humor in this image comes from the contrast between the prehistoric setting and the modern concept of playing cards. The men appear to be deeply engrossed in their game, with one even dozing off for a quick nap. Their expressions of concentration and relaxation are relatable, making it easy for us to connect with these ancient figures. This charming postcard, reminiscent of the British humor of the 20th century, is a testament to the enduring appeal of a simple game and the universal human desire for rest and relaxation. The image, created by the renowned artist Donald McGill, is a delightful blend of humor and history, making it a must-have for any collection of vintage postcards or comic art.
