In the whimsical landscape of a surreal birthday scene, imagine a sprawling golf course that defies the ordinary. Here, the fairway is a patchwork quilt of lush greens and fantastical hues, reminiscent of something out of Winsor McCay’s vivid dreams. The sky above, inspired by Hergé’s detailed and expansive illustrations, is a bright azure canvas where fluffy clouds form the shape of various Pokémon—Pikachu zaps across the sky in a lightning bolt, Charizard breathes fire-shaped clouds, and Bulbasaur sprouts vine-like clouds that gently sway. Among these clouds, in playful and colorful comic-style letters, floats a banner that reads “Happy Birthday Son,” with each letter animated, as though leaping with excitement.

On the ground, a young hiker, who bears a striking resemblance to a cross between Calvin and Hobbes’ adventurous Calvin and Tezuka’s iconic Astro Boy, is embarking on a peculiar hike. His backpack, overflowing with Pokéballs, sports patches of Peanuts’ Snoopy and Tintin’s Snowy. Alongside him, a quirky caddy character that could be straight out of a Gary Larson cartoon assists in this peculiar adventure. The caddy, a charming mix of a golf pro and a Pokémon trainer, wears an oversized cap and holds a golf bag filled not with clubs, but with hiking sticks and an assortment of cartoonishly oversized Pokéballs.

In the distance, a towering mountain shaped like a massive golf tee serves as the backdrop, its peak cloaked in snow that resembles birthday cake frosting—a nod to the classic R. Crumb underground comic style with exaggerated features. On the mountain's side, a cascade of waterfalls spills downwards, each drop taking the form of a miniature Pokémon, as if the waterfall itself is alive with magic. Nearby, the Spirit-like ethereal figure of a hiker’s ghostly apparition waves from the top, a playful nod to Will Eisner’s knack for integrating spirits into everyday scenes.

In this imaginative card cover, every element harmoniously weaves the themes of Pokémon, golf, and hiking into a fantastical celebration, where the boundaries of reality stretch as easily as the smile it will bring to "Son" on their special day.
