EDITORS COMMENTS
A Dose of Cheer: A 20th Century Comic Postcard Portrayal of a Wife's Double Entendre Visit to the Doctor's This charming, humorous 20th-century comic postcard captures the essence of a wife's caring visit to her ailing husband. The scene unfolds in a cozy bedroom setting, where the husband lies in bed, looking rather glum, while his wife stands by his side, donning an apron and pinafore. The doctor, with a merry red nose and a satchel slung over his shoulder, enters the room, seemingly surprised by the unexpected sight. The double entendre in this comic postcard lies in the wife's bag, which she holds in front of her, concealing its contents from the doctor's view. The bag, labeled 'Eat' and 'Drink,' adds a playful layer of mystery to the scene. Is the wife planning to bring her husband some nourishment to help him recover, or is she preparing to distract the doctor with a few home-cooked distractions? The comic postcard's light-hearted take on the situation is a testament to the enduring humor found in everyday life. The British sense of humor shines through in the illustration, with its clever use of wordplay and subtle innuendo. This delightful postcard is a reminder that even in the face of illness, there is always room for a little merriment and fun.
