Comic Linen Postcard - Love Thy Neighbor

This is a mildly risque Curt Teich comic postcard, from 1938.  I can tell the exact year it was created from a notation in the stamp box on the back.  Another clue to the general era is the partial view of an automobile behind a tent, and the card itself.  This is a linen card, and the linens date from roughly 1932-1952.

Many of the comics were not all that funny, but they do provide some insight & a little commentary (intentional or not) to the attitudes of the time.

Comic Art Postcard - Tex Lowell

This is an example of a comic art postcard by Tex Lowell. I just found out that Tex Lowell's real name was George E. Turner, but he used this name to hide his moonlighting from a newspaper he worked at in Amarillo, Texas. If this is true, then it's quite interesting because George E. Turner became famous in certain circles.

Tex Lowell drew a lot of these types of cards - they were something for tourists to buy in the 1950s. Sometimes he just signed "Tex" and sometimes he probably didn't sign them at all. This is a pretty good example of his art.

This is a standard/chrome postcard probably from the 1950s, certainly no later than the 1960s. If you're interested, click on the title to go to the listing.
