**Image Prompt:**

At the top of the illustration image: *“Arthur Turns 80 – Still a Single Malt-y Devil on the Tyne!”*

**Illustration Description:**

A colourful, humorous cartoon-style coastal collage featuring Arthur — a jolly elderly gent with windswept grey hair, kilt askew, and party hat — surfing a wave of whisky that’s splashing through the mouth of the River Tyne. He’s holding a giant dram of single malt in one hand and waving a frothy pint of beer in the other.

In the background, a whimsical panorama mashes up North Shields, Whitley Bay, and Tynemouth — Spanish City spins like a disco ball, seagulls dance on top of Tynemouth Abbey ruins wearing sunglasses, and the Tyne Bridge wears a massive birthday banner with balloons attached.

To the left, St. Mary's Lighthouse has a big smiley face and is toasting Arthur with a tiny bottle of whisky. Meanwhile, a group of cartoon puffins (clearly his wild party mates) emerge from barrels of ale, some trying to balance beer on their beaks while others sing “Happy Birthday” into a lighthouse megaphone.

The whole scene is awash with birthday madness, with salty North East charm, booze-fueled gags, and lovingly over-the-top absurdity perfect for a birthday giggle.

Generated with these themes: North Shields, Whitley Bay, Tynemouth, 80, Single Malt Whisky, Tyne Bridge, St. Mary's Lighthouse, Tynemouth Abbey, Spanish City, and Beer.
