Description

Here is a detailed, disability-friendly description of the comic:

Panel 1: A doctor, wearing glasses and a white coat, stands on the left with a smile. He is holding a baby and speaking to the couple. The mother, who has blonde hair and is in a hospital bed, looks surprised. There is a speech bubble from the doctor that says, "CONGRATULATIONS! IT'S A BOY!"

Panel 2: The mother, looking shocked with wide eyes, responds, "WHAT?! YOU SAID YOU WERE GETTING AN EYE EXAM!" She is holding the baby.

Panel 3: A man, possibly the partner, drops his jaw in disbelief while standing beside the mother. He has brown hair and is wearing scrubs with a stethoscope around his neck. Another speech bubble emerges with the sound "TEEHEE!" indicating laughter.

Caption below the panels: "On the plus side, the last forty-seven hours suddenly made a whole lot more sense."

This comic plays with the humor of misunderstandings in a medical context and the surprising nature of childbirth.
