Front and center, a quirky and colorful cartoon-style birthday scene unfolds. At the heart of the card is a large, round birthday cake perched precariously on top of a cartoonish mountain peak. The mountain is humorously exaggerated with steep, curvy slopes, akin to something you might see in a playful R. Crumb or Bill Watterson piece, featuring jagged edges and swirling lines.

The cake itself is a riot of colors, with pink frosting, blue and yellow polka dots, and towering, twisting candles that seem to defy gravity, curling upwards like the whimsical lines from a Schulz or Larson strip. One candle is shaped like the letter "M," while another forms the letter "K," and so on, spelling out "Markus" across the cake in a joyful, abstract manner.

In the sky above, fluffy clouds, reminiscent of Disney's classic animations, gently drift, with one cloud playfully shaped like a party hat. A banner stretches between two of the mountain peaks, strung up by cartoon birds, each styled with a hint of Tezuka's manga flair, large-eyed and expressive, adding an extra layer of visual humor.

To the left of the mountain, a small figure akin to Calvin from Watterson’s work peers up at the cake with wide eyes, wearing a polka-dotted party hat that matches the cake's design. The background is a vibrant mix of lush greens and rich blues, creating a visually dynamic scene that draws on the bright palettes often favored by Hergé.

Scattered at the mountain's base are oversized, cartoonish balloons in primary colors, their strings tangling whimsically like in a Far Side panel. Everything is set against a sky turning from deep azure to the warm, golden hues of a setting sun, echoing the soft transitions seen in classic Eisner backdrops.

Incorporating the exaggerated and playful essence from a blend of these iconic artists, this birthday greeting card front bursts with color, creativity, and a touch of whimsy.
