1. Title: A Comically Relatable New Father's Dilemma: The Triplets' Quandary 2. Description: This humorous comic postcard from the 20th century, published by the renowned British satirical artist Donald McGill, captures the essence of new fatherhood with a delightful dose of wit and humor. The scene unfolds in a maternity ward, where a young man, dressed in a suit and looking utterly bewildered, is surrounded by three women - a midwife and two nurses, each cradling a baby. The new father, with a puzzled expression on his face, holds up a piece of paper and asks, "Which one is mine?" The midwife, with a knowing smile, points to one of the infants, while the two nurses exchange amused glances. The humor lies in the relatable situation of a new father, who, after the chaos of childbirth, is unsure which baby belongs to him. McGill's artistry is evident in the intricate details of the illustration, from the expressions on the characters' faces to the subtle nuances in their body language. The use of color and shading adds depth and dimension to the scene, making it a delightful and engaging visual experience. This postcard is a testament to the universal experience of new parenthood and the inevitable questions that arise during the chaotic and joyful moments of childbirth. It serves as a reminder that even in the midst of confusion and uncertainty, there is always a sense of camaraderie and support among those who have gone through the experience. 3.
