Good Egg
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Charming WW2-Era Comic Postcard from the Humorous Side of History This delightful comic postcard, dated 1944, showcases a "Good Egg" waiting to be opened, with the hope that its contents will prove to be as reliable as the term used to describe a trustworthy person. The caption on the front adds a playful touch to the image, as the egg remains unopened, and we can only cross our fingers and hope for the best. On the back of the postcard, we find the words of Winston S. Churchill, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during World War II, offering a reassuring message of steadfastness and determination: "We shall continue steadfast in faith and duty until our task is done." The light-hearted nature of this postcard is further emphasized by the adorable depiction of cute kids on the bottom left corner, adding a touch of innocence and joy to the wartime scene. The artist, Raphael Tuck, masterfully captures the essence of wartime humor with this charming caricature. The image itself features a little girl, dressed in a charming red dress, preparing a boiled egg for breakfast. Her pet cat and parrot look on, a cat watching curiously and the parrot seemingly amused by the situation. The whimsical scene is a stark contrast to the seriousness of the war, offering a moment of respite and levity for those who held this postcard close. This "Good Egg" postcard, published by Tuck and Sons, is a testament to the power of humor and the human spirit, even during the most challenging of times. It serves as a reminder that even in the midst of adversity, there is always room for a smile and a moment of joy.
