Annual Covers

A few posts ago I was writing how those new yorker cartoonists are a big influence on the gag style cartoons I sometimes use in birthday card efforts. The bawdy primary colours of the old british humour comic annual covers are an even greater influence than the new yorkers distinguished grey tones. Not to mention the brit comics lewder cousin- the seaside postcard.

Here is a version of another card, originally black and white, that probably makes more immediate sense in coloured form.
