Cockerel Scratching for a Living,
EDITORS COMMENTS
20th Century Comic Postcard This delightful and humorous comic postcard, dated from the 20th century, features a mischievous and determined cockerel in the midst of his daily struggle to make a living. The image, created by the renowned British comic artist Donald McGill, captures the essence of the bird's tenacity and resilience as he scratches through a heap of dirt, debris, and rubbish, searching for that elusive morsel to sustain himself. The cockerel's expression is a perfect blend of determination and frustration, as he digs deep with his sharp claws, undeterred by the hard, dusty soil beneath him. The background of the postcard is filled with a chaotic scene of discarded objects and debris, adding to the comic effect of the scene. The caption above the image reads, "Damn hard living, but somebody's got to do it!" This phrase adds a lighthearted and humorous touch to the image, emphasizing the bird's perseverance and the challenges of everyday life. The use of bold lines, vibrant colors, and exaggerated features are characteristic of McGill's unique comic style, making this postcard a fun and collectible piece of British humor from the 20th century. Whether displayed as a standalone piece or as part of a collection, this comic postcard is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face and add a touch of whimsy to any space.
