In the snowy town of Quirkville, a hilarious Christmas decorating mishap unfolds on the front of our greeting card. Picture a bustling street lined with charming, quaint houses, each one uniquely styled, reminiscent of Charles Schulz's cozy neighborhoods and Hergé's intricate townscapes. The focal point of the scene is the local squirrel gang, led by an overly ambitious squirrel sporting a Santa hat that's too large for its head. The squirrels are fervently trying to string up Christmas lights between the telephone poles in a haphazard manner reminiscent of Calvin and Hobbes' chaotic energy. Below, an astonished snowman, drawn with the expressive simplicity of R. Crumb, is caught in a tangle of multi-colored lights that wrap around his carrot nose and twigs for arms, as if they have a mind of their own.

Nearby, a comically overdecorated evergreen tree leans heavily to one side, almost tipping over from the weight of oversized baubles and tinsel, a nod to Gary Larson’s exaggerated scenarios. In front of the tree, a mischievous dog, wearing reindeer antlers, is tangled in a string of lights, reminiscent of an Astro Boy robot that's malfunctioned. Above, a cartoonishly large, smiling full moon, an homage to Winsor McCay's dreamy landscapes, beams down approvingly, casting a whimsical glow over the scene. In the background, the silhouette of a dapper man in a vintage suit—borrowing from Will Eisner's iconic style—nonchalantly strolls by, tipping his hat to the squirrels as if to say, “Better them than me!”

Every element is intricately detailed, capturing the playful spirit and storytelling depth of classic cartoon artistry, making this card a treasure trove of whimsical details and festive cheer.
