Description
This postcard depicts a humoristic scene.
On the left, a woman wearing a purple skirt lined in black at the neckline, with a blue high-neck shirt underneath, coordinated to her headband; on the right, a woman wearing a brown dress with wide straps and a high-neck lacy shirt underneath, as well as a long, pointy purple hat.
The woman on the left is painting a goose, looking at the woman on the right and titled "Goose *stupid*".
The four lines of writing at the top left corner are supposedly what the woman on the left is telling the woman on the right, likening her to a stupid goose.
