The front cover of the birthday card features an enchanting scene bustling with whimsy and lively details. At the heart of the image is a vibrant, cartoonish table tennis table, designed in an imaginative style reminiscent of Charles Schulz and Bill Watterson, where the net is fashioned from a festive string of multicolored bunting, fluttering in a gentle breeze. The table itself is covered in polka dots and pastel colors, giving it a playful, party-like appearance.

Surrounding the table are four quirky characters, each reflecting the timeless charm of Hergé’s Tintin and the expressive dynamics of Gary Larson’s The Far Side. On one side, a lively young girl with curly red hair and a polka dot dress, energetically leaps to hit a giant birthday cake-shaped ping pong ball. Her sneakers leave cartoonish motion lines, capturing the energetic swing reminiscent of Calvin's antics from Calvin and Hobbes.

On the opposite side, a small, friendly robot with a metallic sheen, drawing inspiration from Osamu Tezuka’s Astro Boy, balances a paddle in one hand, and a tiny birthday candle in the other, its screen-like face flashing a digital smile. Next to the robot, a shaggy dog with oversized ears, akin to R. Crumb’s playful characters, balances on its hind legs, watching the game with a comically oversized paddle clasped in its paws.

Behind the table, a pair of joyful grandparent characters – a spry grandpa with suspenders and a quirky patterned bow tie, and a beaming grandma wearing a flowery hat – sit in folding chairs. Their faces, crafted with Eisner-like expressiveness, show shared excitement as they clap and cheer, surrounded by stacks of wrapped presents with elaborate bows.

The background of the scene depicts a bright, cartoon-style park, with tall, whimsically twisted trees and a vivid blue sky filled with fluffy, curlicue clouds reminiscent of Winsor McCay’s dreamlike sceneries. In the foreground, a festive birthday banner strung between two trees proudly announces “Happy Birthday!” in bold, colorful letters that echo Art Spiegelman’s impactful graphic style, ensuring that the scene feels both celebratory and delightfully unique.
