EDITORS COMMENTS
A Dose of Laughter: A 20th Century Comic Postcard Chronicles the Humorous Interplay between Doctor, Nurse, and Patient as Temperatures Rise! Step back in time to the cheerful and lighthearted world of a 20th-century comic postcard. This delightful image captures the moment when a young, attractive woman, clad in a pretty dress and looking ever so slightly concerned, is visited by a dapper and charming doctor and a dedicated, pretty nurse in a crisp uniform. The doctor, with a knowing smile, checks her temperature with a double-meaning, entendre-filled thermometer, while the nurse, with a playful wink, bandages the patient's head in a most unusual way. The man in the bed, Donald McGill's trademark character, Donald, looks on with a mischievous grin, adding to the fun and laughter. The scene is set in a cozy hospital room, filled with the warmth and charm of a bygone era. The doctor's medical chart lies open on the bedside table, and the patient's temperature is clearly on the rise, not just due to her illness. The double entendre, the verbal play, and the visual humor in this postcard are sure to bring a smile to your face and a lighthearted moment to your day. This charming comic postcard, with its humorous take on the doctor's visit, is a testament to the power of laughter and the human spirit. It reminds us that even in the face of illness or discomfort, there is always room for a little fun and a lot of love.
