The cover scene is a bustling, humorous birthday party set in an enchanted treehouse reminiscent of Winsor McCay’s dreamy worlds, with a playful twist of Gary Larson’s humor. At the center, a large treehouse is perched atop a grand, ancient tree with wide, swirling branches that seem to dance in the breeze. The treehouse is whimsical, with multiple layers like a cake, each "tier" hosting a different group of partygoers.

In the foreground, Charles Schulz-inspired cartoon animals in party hats and bow ties mingle with guests. There’s a squirrel holding a gift-wrapped acorn, a rabbit juggling tiny cupcakes, and a turtle wearing a glittering party crown, looking ready to join the festivities at its own pace. Surrounding the tree, oversized balloons shaped like the characters from Astro Boy float gently in the air, tied with colorful ribbons that sway playfully.

A table set up on one of the lower branches is bursting with a smorgasbord of birthday treats. Imagine a teetering stack of pastries and a gleaming punch bowl filled with a fizzy, neon-colored drink, which a trio of mischievous mice are trying to sip from using crazy straws. Nearby, a line of small, curious birds reminiscent of Hergé’s detailed illustrations, peck curiously at a crumbly cake shaped like a rocket ship, a nod to Osamu Tezuka.

On another branch, a disco ball fashioned out of shiny leaves spins above a group of jubilant woodland creatures dancing to tunes played by a raccoon DJ. The raccoon wears oversized headphones and sunglasses, its paws masterfully spinning a vinyl record. Above all this, the topmost branch hosts a large sign that reads “Happy Birthday!” in vibrant, mismatched colors, each letter a different style, clearly influenced by the playful lettering often seen in R. Crumb’s comics.

In the background, Calvin and Hobbes-like characters can be seen tumbling down the grassy hill beside the tree, caught mid-roll in an exaggerated style. An old-fashioned dirigible floats by, tethered to the tree with fairy lights that twinkle as the card is tilted, providing a final touch of magic and adventure to this festive, cartoonish celebration.
