1. Title: "The Uninvited Co-Worker: A Duck's Interruption to a Man's Attempt at Relaxation". In this delightful 20th-century comic postcard, a man in a striped blazer and trousers, donning a summer hat, sits on a beach chair with a determined expression. He clutches a glass of beer in one hand and a cigar in the other, attempting to forget about the stresses of work. The sun is setting over the calm sea, and the sound of the waves crashing gently against the shore promises a peaceful evening. However, the man's tranquility is disrupted by an unexpected visitor – a quirky duck, quacking loudly and waddling closer to the man's chair. The man looks up in surprise and annoyance, raising his hand to shoo the bird away. The duck, seemingly unfazed, continues to quack and nudge the man's book with its beak. This light-hearted scene, created by the renowned British comic artist Donald McGill, captures the essence of a summer holiday – the joy of escaping the daily grind, the unexpected interruptions, and the simple pleasure of a glass of beer by the sea. Despite the duck's unwelcome presence, the man can't help but crack a smile as he tries to maintain his composure and enjoy his hard-earned break. The postcard's playful humor and charming illustration style make it a treasured piece of comic art from the 20th century. Whether displayed in a home or sent as a greeting card, this postcard is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face and remind us that even the most peaceful moments can be disrupted by the most unlikely of characters.
