EDITORS COMMENTS
A Hilarious 20th Century Comic Postcard: Kangaroo Couple with Missing Baby! This delightful comic postcard, hailing from the 20th century, showcases a humorous take on the Australian kangaroo family. The image features a surprised and shocked humanized kangaroo couple, Donald and Gladys, sitting on a grassy outcropping. The father, Donald, is shown with a concerned expression, looking down at his empty pouch, while his wife, Gladys, gazes at him with wide-eyed astonishment. The couple's body language and facial expressions exude a sense of disbelief and panic. The humor in this postcard comes from the unexpected and relatable situation – the missing baby. The baby kangaroo, not visible in the image, has either been picked, stolen, or lost. The empty pouch and the parents' reactions create a comical and lighthearted scenario that is sure to bring a smile to the viewer's face. This charming postcard, with its British sensibility, is a testament to the enduring appeal of comic postcards as a form of visual storytelling. The use of humanized animals adds an extra layer of fun and whimsy, making this postcard a delightful addition to any collection. The kangaroo couple's predicament is a reminder of the universal experience of parenthood and the unexpected challenges it brings. The missing baby adds a touch of humor and lightness to the scene, making this postcard a joyful and fun representation of the Australian wildlife and the 20th century comic postcard tradition.
