ArtistA classic German humor illustration inspired by the style of Loriot. Two simple pale cartoon gentlemen with round noses and minimalistic comic features are sitting in an old-fashioned white bathtub filled with soap foam. Between them floats a small yellow rubber duck. The bathroom is cozy and slightly old-fashioned with blue tiles, a towel rack, soft warm lighting, and a calm absurd atmosphere. Both characters look serious and awkward in a typical deadpan comedy scene. Charming vintage cartoon aesthetic, clean line art, soft watercolor textures, humorous and nostalgic mood. include a very small sterilized full-body white unicorn logo with delicate proportions and the text “AI by Unicorngraphics” beneath it in the bottom right corner.

Plot
The protagonists, two seemingly well-to-do middle-aged gentlemen named Müller-Lüdenscheidt and Dr. Klöbner, are seen sitting at opposite ends of a bathtub belonging to a hotel room. During the course of their conversation, which, although conducted in a measured tone, consists mainly of biting remarks and accusations, it turns out that Dr. Klöbner has mistaken the room number (and is therefore, as Müller-Lüdenscheidt puts it, "sitting in someone else's bathtub"). Müller-Lüdenscheidt has drained the water. Dr. Klöbner had filled the tub earlier, believing it to be his own, but now refuses to admit his error, leading to an increasingly absurd exchange ("Do you know that many people don't even have a bathroom?" – "Oh, and you're a socialist, too!"). No sooner have the two laboriously agreed on refilling the tub and adjusting the temperature than Dr. Dr. Klöbner insists on taking his rubber ducky into the bath ("I always bathe with this duck!"), which Müller-Lüdenscheidt refuses on principle ("Not with me!"). Müller-Lüdenscheidt cannot carry out his threat to drain the water again, as he is sitting on the plug himself. He finally gives in, whereupon Dr. Klöbner, in a sudden change of heart, refuses to let his duck share the water with such a person. Müller-Lüdenscheidt, again contrary to his initial opinion, emphatically demands that Dr. Klöbner take the duck into the bath ("You put the duck in the water immediately!") and, after another refusal, tries to force the duck into the water by submerging it, leading to a diving contest. While the two are still arguing about who won and attempting to settle it with a simultaneous dive, a third, unclothed man enters the bathroom and somewhat sheepishly asks for the room number.
