The front cover of the Christmas greeting card bursts with whimsical holiday cheer, set against a snowy landscape reminiscent of Charles Schulz's Peanuts Christmas scenes. In the foreground, a lively Goblin Tamer, with exaggerated cartoonish features akin to R. Crumb's eccentric characters, stands proudly. The Goblin Tamer is clad in a vibrant red and green tunic with patchwork designs, playfully reminiscent of Christmas wrapping paper. He's juggling a bundle of multicolored goblin leashes, each attached to tiny, mischievous goblins sporting striped candy cane hats. Beside him stands a Film Camera Man, whose vintage film camera is a nod to Winsor McCay's detailed machinery from Little Nemo, capturing the merry chaos of the scene. The camera is decked out with holiday lights and tinsel, adding a festive flair.

To his left, a Dog Trainer resembling a hybrid between Bill Watterson's Calvin and a Disney character is engaged in a playful tug-of-war with a Santa hat-wearing pup. The pup, humorously oversized, is a nod to Gary Larson's absurdist style. In the center, a small creature labeled as "Striped Horny 702" stands proudly on a pedestal draped with a glittery garland. The creature, a fantastical blend of an armadillo and a unicorn, wears a candy cane striped horn and possesses big, cartoonish eyes filled with affection as it receives a massage from the Dog Trainer, reminiscent of Osamu Tezuka’s endearing animal characters.

Above this zany gathering, a banner stretches across the top of the scene, suspended between two snow-dusted pine trees, its letters glowing in a vibrant mixture of red and gold: "Merry Christmas, Nico Klaus!" in a festive font that seems to twinkle like Christmas lights. In the background, a serene snowy hill leads down to a peaceful lake, notably devoid of any boats—a subtle nod to the Goblin Tamer's aversion to them, rendered in a style that echoes Hergé's precise and clear linework from Tintin. The sky above is a dazzling nightscape, with stars forming constellations that spell out "Nico Klaus," a touch inspired by Art Spiegelman's creative use of space in Maus. The entire scene is framed by a border of holly leaves and berries, with a hint of snowfall gently cascading over the tableau, capturing the eye with a charming holiday flourish.
