Le Grand Écho du Nord - March 08, 1925


Some drawings by De Graeve the postmen's strike

01 - It's been more than eight days since our son wrote to us to ask for money!...
- It's one of the happy consequences of the postmen's strike

02 - The teacher. Now, we're going to reverse the order of the postmen!
The student. Hey, I thought they were on strike!

03 - Very happy to see you again, old man, you promised to send me the money you owe me by registered mail...
- Understand me, I thought that with the postmen's strike, it would be better to abstain

04 - P. S. I'm sending you this letter, but if, because of the postmen's strike, you don't receive it, let me know by return mail, please.

05 - The cousins ​​from Paris write to me that they are coming to spend four days with us.
- Tell them right away that because of the postmen's strike, you didn't receive their letter!

06 - You misled us, since your posters announce a performance of "Le Courrier de Lyon" for this evening!
- I'm sorry, but because of the postmen's strike, the Lyon mail didn't arrive!
