The Early Years: Jim Can’t Draw Cards Either

From the “It’s The Thought That Counts” Department, this is a card I apparently made for my parents back in elementary school. Can you guess what holiday it’s for?

If you guessed “Donnie Darko Day”, congratulations! You’re as big of a nerd as I am.

Frank the Rabbit is not impressed by your stupid man suit.

Okay, I’ll give you a hint and show you the back of the card. Now what holiday would you guess?

What? No, it’s not for Jupiter Day! Jupiter Day isn’t even a thing*! It’s for Easter!

Apparently, whenever this dates from, I was apparently already a fan of the color orange, but I was still having a little trouble with capitalization. And “H” vs. “M”. And “d” vs. “b”. And figuring out how much text would fit on one line; although, really, we all still have trouble with that one sometimes, don’t we?

I’m guessing this was intentional.

* Unless you’re into astrology I suppose.

  1. i thought it was for halloween because of the orange color. a look into donnie darko day revealed i was only off…by 20 plus days

    without lines and borders, my handwriting descends to chaos. dad tells me to just sign his bday cards with my name cause he doesn’t want his friends wondering what’s wrong with his 31 yr old son and why he can’t write sentences straight…

    1. I used to have pretty good handwriting, until (years ago) I had a temp job answering phones and taking messages. I had to write really fast and now my handwriting looks like a doctor’s prescription pad.
