Explain the way in which Yoshiko gives birth to their daughter. Why is this supposed to be satirical/funny? What does Gunnar do at the end of his broadcast? How is this a moment of self-actualization? What happens to Hillside at the end of Ch. 12?

Explain the way in which Yoshiko gives birth to their daughter. Why is this supposed to be satirical/funny?

When Yoshiko goes into labor, Gunnar takes her to Reynier Park. A huge crowd is already waiting. The Gun Totin' Hooligans provide security, and Gunnar's mother delivers the baby. After the successful birth of the baby a box of cigars attached to a parachute descends from the helicopter overhead with a note of congratulations. Gunnar thinks he recognizes his father's handwriting. It is all very surreal and almost to bizarre to be true.

You need to submit each of your questions one at a time. Thanks.
