A hapless fellow clutches his rolltop desk for dear life as he careens through the air upside-down — hat flying, the word ZING exploding beneath him — under the bold banner Coming Round Your Way, one of the most energetic and visually inventive comic card designs of the Edwardian era. Published under the E.B. & E. imprint, this lively lithograph captures the slapstick spirit of a generation drunk on postcard humor. Postmarked Goshen, New York, August 24, 1906 at 6:30 AM — an impressively early dispatch — and addressed in sweeping copperplate script to Miss Gladys Strivers at 62 Highland Ave., Middletown. No message survives beyond what may be a brief inscription, but the image speaks volumes. A gem of early American comic card design with bold two-tone color and excellent graphic energy.
