A Late Night Homecoming,
EDITORS COMMENTS
20th Century Comic Postcard This charming and humorous 20th-century comic postcard, titled "A Late Night Homecoming," depicts a classic scene of a drunken man stumbling up to his front door after a night of heavy drinking. The man, dressed in a top hat and a long overcoat, clutches a cane and leans heavily on it as he attempts to navigate the steps leading to his house. His disheveled appearance and glassy-eyed gaze speak volumes about his night out. As he reaches the door, he is met with the disapproving glare of his disgruntled wife, who is shown peering out from the window with her arms crossed and a scowl on her face. The caption above the image reads, "Donald McGill's 'Drunken Man Arrives Home,'" a nod to the famous British comic artist known for his humorous and often risqué postcard illustrations. The woman's annoyed expression and the man's drunken state create a humorous contrast, highlighting the temptation and the consequences of a night of indulgence. The use of exaggerated facial expressions and body language adds to the comedic effect, making this postcard a fun and lighthearted addition to any collection. This comic postcard is a delightful reminder of the past and the simple joys of British humor, making it a must-have for anyone with a sense of humor and an appreciation for the history of visual art.
