The Morning After - A Man's Regretful Reckoning with the Consequences of a Drunken Evening
EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightfully humorous comic postcard, hailing from the 20th century, captures the quintessential experience of a man's encounter with a hangover. The image, created by the renowned British comic artist Donald McGill, depicts a disheveled, groggy man in striped pyjamas, clutching a glass of water and a bottle of pills, with a look of sheer despair on his face. The room around him is in disarray, with empty bottles and glasses scattered about, suggesting a night of excessive drinking and merrymaking. The man's bed, which appears to have seen better days, is a testament to the wild dance party that must have taken place the previous night. The man's head, wrapped in a towel, is a clear indication of the pounding headache that accompanies such nights. His thirsty eyes and parched lips further emphasize the dehydration that comes with a hangover. Despite the man's obvious discomfort, there is a sense of fun and humor in the way the scene is depicted. The man's expression, while pained, is not one of complete misery. Instead, it seems to convey a sense of resignation, as if he knows that this is the price he must pay for the enjoyment he derived from the previous night's festivities. The overall effect of this comic postcard is one of lightheartedness and amusement, making it a perfect memento of a night out gone wrong, or right, depending on one's perspective. The artistry and humor of Donald McGill's work continue to resonate with audiences, making this postcard a must-have for any collection of comic art or memorabilia.
