The Happy Couple - A 20th Century Love Story
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming comic postcard from the 20th century captures the playful and lighthearted side of love and relationships. The image shows a plump, contented couple, fast asleep in a large, cozy bed. The man, with a mischievous grin on his face, is snoring loudly, while the woman, with a pillow tucked under her arm, looks on with amusement. Both are dressed in their nightwear, adding to the warm and comfortable atmosphere of the scene. The British humor of this comic postcard is evident in the exaggerated size of the couple, with the man appearing particularly large and obese. Yet, despite their size, they are shown to be in a loving and contented relationship, with the woman's gentle smile and the man's peaceful expression indicating their deep affection for one another. The title of the postcard, "The Happy Couple," perfectly encapsulates the mood of the image. The couple's peaceful slumber, their comfortable bed, and their obvious love for each other, all combine to create a scene that is both funny and heartwarming. This comic postcard is a delightful reminder of the simple pleasures of love and companionship. It invites us to appreciate the humor and joy that can be found in even the most mundane moments of life, and to cherish the relationships that bring us warmth, comfort, and happiness. The artist of this postcard is Donald McGill, a renowned British comic artist known for his humorous and often risqué postcards. This particular postcard, however, showcases his lighter and more affectionate side, making it a true gem of 20th century popular culture.
