IT’S REALLY WONDERFUL HOW ONE THING LEADS ON TO ANOTHER! JEWELRY NURSING HOME PAWN BROKER
Dear Lee, This was sent to me so I’m forwarding on to you only I never made the grade past the Jewellers shop. I sincerely hope you make better work of it & go past the Pawn shop next step. Except my heartiest congrats dear friend to the good fortune as well. I only hope the world gives you both all the pleasure & joy possible to get. The best of luck to you both. Love G.
Ah, I see what you’re getting at — the postcard’s little visual “life‑story timeline.”Between the jewelry shop (engagement) and the nursing home (arrival of the first child), the building in the middle is a church.And of course, in the cheeky logic of the cartoon, the church is standing in for the wedding — the moment that “leads on” from buying the ring and “leads on” to the next chapter of life.It’s a sly little sequence: Jewelry → proposal Church → marriage Nursing home → baby arrives Pawn broker → the financial aftermath of it all A very 1920s sense of humour — dry, a bit fatalistic, and very aware of how life tends to snowball.
