EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the darkness and uncertainty of the 1940s wartime landscape, a glimmer of light and humor emerges in this saucy comic postcard. The image captures a woman playfully being kissed by a man in the midst of a blackout, with the caption reading, "A kiss in the dark is the sweetest." The woman, dressed in a hat and with one shoulder bared, looks surprised yet delighted by the unexpected gesture. Her expression conveys a sense of happiness and fun, despite the seriousness of the war that loomed around them. This comic postcard, titled "Donald McGill's Saucy Postcards: The Wartime Collection," was a popular form of entertainment during the 1940s in Britain. Known for their humorous and often risqué content, these postcards provided a much-needed escape from the harsh realities of wartime life. The image of a woman being kissed in the dark was a common theme in these postcards, reflecting the longing and desire for intimacy and connection amidst the chaos of war. The use of humor and lightheartedness in this postcard serves as a reminder of the resilience and spirit of people during wartime. Despite the challenges and hardships, they found ways to bring joy and laughter into their lives, even in the darkest of moments. This comic postcard is a testament to the enduring power of humor and the human spirit, and a fascinating glimpse into the past.
