A Warm Debate Over Winter Fashion This delightfully humorous comic postcard from the 20th century, published by the renowned British satirical illustrator Donald McGill, captures the playful banter between a plump, middle-aged couple as they discuss the purchase of a fur coat. The scene unfolds in a cozy living room setting, with the husband and wife sitting on a plush armchair and sofa, respectively. The husband, dressed in a suit and holding a catalog, points to a striking red fur coat spread open on the coffee table. His wife, wearing a voluminous red dress and looking disapprovingly at the coat, shakes her head and exclaims, "Oh, dear husband! Do we really need another fur coat?" The husband, ever the joker, retorts with a double entendre, "Why, my dear, it's not for me, it's for the cat!" The wife, not missing a beat, rolls her eyes and playfully replies, "Well, if that's the case, I'll get us a nice warm kitten instead!" The couple's lighthearted exchange is filled with humor and verbal puns, showcasing the wit and charm of British comic art from the era. The use of color, particularly the bold reds of the coat and the wife's dress, adds to the visual appeal and enhances the overall effect of this fun and funny comic postcard.
