The front cover of the birthday card bursts with quirky humor and vibrant detail. At the center of the scene is a jubilant football pitch celebrating "Mum's Birthday Derby," inspired by Celtic Football Club. The pitch is populated with cartoon characters resembling Peanuts by Charles Schulz, with a Celtic FC flair. The characters are a mixture of enthusiastic football players and lively fans. A large, green and white striped birthday cake, reminiscent of Celtic’s team colors, is set on the center spot of the field, its top tier sprouting candles shaped like tiny footballs.

Our protagonist, Mum, is portrayed as a delightful, short-haired older woman, robust and lively. She stands next to the cake, wearing a Celtic jersey with her name, "MUM," emblazoned on the back. Mum holds a whistle, officiating the match with a playful authority. Around her, a collection of humorous, cartoon-styled characters — think Calvin and Hobbes with a Celtic twist — kick footballs, some bouncing off the cake, splattering icing onto the pitch.

In the background, fans, drawn with R. Crumb’s exaggerated expressions, wave banners. One prominent banner held aloft spells out "Happy Birthday, Mum!" in big, bold letters. To the right of the scene, a towering goal post has been transformed into a comically tall candle, flickering with a whimsical flame that teeters as if about to singe a stray balloon.

Above, fluffy clouds shaped like footballs drift across the sky, drawn with Hergé's clean line work. A flock of birds, rendered in a playful nod to Winsor McCay, spell out "MUM" as they fly, each bird a letter in the playful birthday sky message. At the corners of the scene, tucked away, small mischievous figures (à la The Far Side) add to the humor by sneaking bites of the cake or attempting to join the game, their antics adding layers to the lively tableau.
