A man wearing squash kit playing golf very badly Birthday Card

The cover of the birthday card features a humorous scene set on a sprawling, green golf course, with rolling hills and a bright blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds, inspired by Hergé's clean line style. Front and center is our protagonist, a middle-aged man dressed in a mismatched squash kit: a bright yellow headband keeps his unruly hair at bay, while his sweatband-clad wrists grasp a golf club awkwardly. His squash attire includes a loose, white polo shirt emblazoned with a small, embroidered squash racket logo on the chest, paired with garishly colored, knee-length squash shorts, adorned with diagonal stripes reminiscent of R. Crumb's love for bold, unconventional patterns.

In a nod to Bill Watterson's comedic timing, the man swings his golf club with great enthusiasm, yet the ball veers comically off course, heading straight towards an unsuspecting, cartoonish squirrel perched on a nearby golf cart, whose eyes bulge in exaggerated surprise à la Charles Schulz. The golf cart itself is laden with an eccentric array of squash rackets and mismatched golf clubs, an homage to the imaginative clutter found in Winsor McCay’s work.

Behind the man, a small audience of fellow golfers stands, their expressions a mix of bemusement and mild horror, much like the subtle social commentary in Gary Larson's cartoons. One golfer, who sports a distinctive monocle and a plaid flat cap, captures the incident on a vintage Polaroid camera, freezing this moment of golf-squash fusion forever, reminiscent of the detailed world-building of Osamu Tezuka.

In the foreground, a sign humorously reads "Squash Golf Invitational," cleverly integrating elements from Walt Disney's charming, whimsical approach, and adding to the absurdity of the scene. To complete the picture, a friendly, animated bird sits atop the sign, chirping a birthday tune, tying in Art Spiegelman's knack for blending reality with cartoon elements. This quirky scene captures the hilarity of a man wildly out of his element, bringing laughter to any birthday celebration.
