A Bit of Advice from the Frump Squad
EDITORS COMMENTS
- This delightful comic postcard from the 20th century captures the playful banter between two middle-aged women as they engage in a lively conversation on the pavement. The scene is set in a bustling British street, with the women's frumpish attire and the boy in tow adding an extra layer of humor to the situation. The double entendre in this image is both amusing and intriguing. The women appear to be discussing medical matters, with one woman advising the other about a "tonsil operation." However, the boy's innocent presence and the caption "Donald McGill's Chat" suggest that there may be a more lighthearted meaning to their conversation. Donald McGill was a renowned British comic artist, known for his humorous postcards featuring witty dialogue and innuendo. This postcard is a perfect example of his signature style, with its clever use of language and visual humor. The image invites us to ponder the true nature of the women's conversation, and to appreciate the fun and lightheartedness of everyday life in the 20th century.
