Wish You Were Here, from Cobb Shinn

 

Time to inflict on you another postcard by Cobb Shinn. Here's a case where the cartoon, for all its faults, has a recognizeable subject, but it just doesn't serve to bring home the gag that is alluded to by the caption. Cobb, oh Cobb, what are we going to do with you. 

 This one has no maker or copyright information, but it was postally used in 1911.

Wow. That's really horrible.
Is that "Henry" two days in a row?

Do you have any of the other "Wow" Cobb cards? I searched for them, and regretted it. I don't want to suffer alone, though.

My collection of Cobb Shinn cards is, I'm sorry to say, extensive.
