“We’d Like You to Follow a Star”
I dunno. There’s just something about this gag Christmas card that made me smile — a perfect little blend of seasonal greetings and the Shamus Game.
The cartoon is by Stan Eales, and it’s printed on recycled paper, and it’s available on the Nobleworks.com web site, where it’s billed as a “Funny Christmas Greeting Card.” They even explain the joke for those of you who don’t get it.
“The Three Kings (or The Three Wise Men as some would put it) have turned to a private detective for assistance in following the star of Bethlehem. This Christmas card is sure to bring much cheer and laughter over the holidays. A heartfelt sappy message is the goal of many come Christmastime, but that’s why there’s plenty of room to write whatever you please on the inside.”
