Descriptions

Very comical strip in which the Baby is taken to the station in the arms of a tall policeman who looks at his precious burden with a fatherly look and is touched.

The happy guests at the baptism will pick up dad, mom and baby from their homes and everyone goes to church with joy, because after the ceremony there is a feast to be had. Everyone celebrated this big day so well that we see them strolling arm in arm, walking sideways without worrying too much about the baby that a complacent guest was kind enough to take care of. They arrive in a meadow and begin to dance ardently, but the complacent guest gets into a quarrel with one of his friends, the poor baby is passed from arm to arm and the dance degenerates into general fistfights. Policemen arrive who separate the fighters and take them away, not without resistance on their part. Baby is also taken to the station in the arms of a tall policeman who looks at his precious burden with a paternal and tender eye.
