Two Thirsty Canines on a Desert Adventure: A Humorous Comic Postcard from the 20th Century This delightful comic postcard, titled "Two Dogs in the Desert," transports us back in time to an era of light-hearted humor and playful illustrations. The scene unfolds in the arid expanse of a desert, where two intrepid canines embark on an adventurous journey. The first dog, a dapper and determined-looking terrier, leads the way, wearing a jaunty hat and carrying a canteen. His companion, a larger, more laid-back hound, follows closely behind, his tongue lolling out in the hot desert climate. Both dogs appear to be in high spirits, oblivious to the challenges that lie ahead in this dry and unforgiving terrain. In the distance, a row of Belisha beacons (a road safety feature) marks the path, leading the dogs towards an oasis. The sight of these beacons brings a glimmer of hope to the thirsty animals, as they continue their quest for water. The comic touch is added by the presence of a solitary tree, which seems to be the only source of shade in the vicinity. The dogs, however, appear to be more interested in the tree's shadow than the tree itself, as they take turns lying down and enjoying the respite from the scorching sun. This charming postcard, created by the renowned British illustrator Donald McGill, is a testament to the power of humor and the enduring bond between animals and their human counterparts. The Two Dogs in the Desert postcard is a fun and light-hearted reminder of simpler times and the joy of sharing a laugh with friends and family.
