OK Efesgirl, I give. What is "ROTFL" ?
Rolling on the floor laughing. Which is better than a simple Lol! Geeat [ostcard never seen one like that before.
Thanks for the love!and the great comments!
A popular motif during WW2.
Your example looks to be English-- the back may settle it.
Did your grandfather stage in the UK prior to the Invasion?

Found some similar examples online with a NY publisher address on the back.

Love how the show the toilet seat patch up ..I wonder how many I threw away .. Think I'll pick up some duck tape for the next one... funny picture,.. nice save
Now that is a card worth collecting. Is it used? Any stamp on it? Written on? If this is original it is a keeper.
I hadn't noted the numbering in small print at the bottom. I would say a reprint.
Looks original-- pretty easy to tell from the back/ stamp box.
Nothing on the front is suggestive of a reprint. These aren't big ticket items.
scott
Quite possible it is an original but one more picture of the back would have helped. These were mass produced after the war.
This card was designed by the brilliant and famous German Dada artist John Heartfield, collaborator of George Grosz and Bertolt Brecht, early practitioner of collage, and major thorn in the side of Hitler and his gang. The "J.H." to the left of the copyright mark confirms this. As to where the card was produced, I doubt it was the USA, as he had fled to Britain in 1938, where I suspect the card was printed.
