Title: "The Morning After: A Man's Regretful Reckoning" This delightfully humorous comic postcard from the 20th century captures the essence of a man's regretful encounter with the consequences of a night of heavy drinking. The scene unfolds in a modest bedroom, where a disheveled man in striped pyjamas, red nose, and half-dressed in a shirt with a collar that's one button too many, sits on the edge of his bed. His bedside table is a testament to the night before, with empty bottles scattered haphazardly on the floor, a pair of slippers nearby, and a tie askew on the chair. The man's expression is one of confusion and disbelief, as he rubs his temples, trying to piece together the events of the previous night. His headache is evident, as is the remorse etched on his face. The comic touch comes from the exaggerated features of the man's hangover, including the bulging eyes, the beads of sweat, and the drooping posture. This comic postcard, created by the renowned British illustrator Donald McGill, is a classic example of the humorous and lighthearted style of comic postcards that were popular in the 20th century. The image pokes fun at the common experience of a hangover, making it relatable and amusing to viewers. The man's predicament is a reminder that the consequences of a night of drinking can be both funny and not so funny at the same time.
