Born on a Wet and Wacky St. Swithin's Day: A Humorous Comic Postcard from the 20th Century This delightful comic postcard, featuring a young couple in an unexpected predicament, is a charming representation of the joy and humor often associated with the arrival of a newborn baby. The scene unfolds on St. Swithin's Day, a day traditionally believed to bring rain in England. The image showcases a pretty young woman, dressed in a floral print dress and a look of surprise, as she holds a baby boy in one arm, while a man, dressed in a suit and trousers, stands by her side, looking equally taken aback. The baby, with a mischievous grin on his face, is in the act of urinating on his father's wet shoes. The woman's friends, two other women, laugh heartily in the background, adding to the lighthearted atmosphere. This humorous comic postcard is a testament to the unpredictability and fun that comes with childbirth and early parenthood. The image, created by an unknown artist, is reminiscent of the classic British humor found in the works of Donald McGill and other postcard artists of the 20th century. The playful and lighthearted tone of the postcard is sure to bring a smile to the faces of those who appreciate a bit of humor in their daily lives. The postcard, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, is a wonderful addition to any collection of comic postcards or memorabilia from the 20th century. It captures the essence of a joyful and humorous moment in the lives of a young couple, as they navigate the ups and downs of parenthood, all while dealing with the occasional unexpected accident.
