In this whimsical birthday card scene, the bustling cityscape of Baltimore comes to life with a playful, cartoonish twist reminiscent of the great comic artists. The focal point is a lively street corner, where a quirky, exaggerated jazz band is performing with all the zany flair of a Peanuts or Calvin and Hobbes strip. The band consists of anthropomorphic animals: a saxophone-playing giraffe wearing a dapper fedora and sunglasses, a piano-playing panda tapping away on an old upright piano on wheels, and a mischievous raccoon drumming on overturned trash cans with wooden spoons. Above them, colorful musical notes float joyfully in the air, echoing the lively beat.

A large, retro-style marquee sign is perched atop a quaint, red-brick rowhouse, displaying in bright neon letters: "Happy Birthday, Mom!" The sign twinkles with a vintage charm that nods to classic Disney animations. On the sidewalk, a small crowd of ecstatic characters, including a lively Astro Boy lookalike and a couple of Tintin's iconic sailors, Captain Haddock and Snowy, groove to the music, clapping and laughing.

In the background, the unmistakable silhouette of the Baltimore skyline peeks through a cartoonishly puffy cloud, where the word "Mom" is whimsically spelled out by a group of tiny, playful birds, reminiscent of a Winsor McCay dream sequence. The scene is sprinkled with quirky details like a giant crab wearing oversized headphones bobbing to the rhythm from a nearby rooftop, and a street vendor's cart overflowing with popcorn, balloons, and oversized lollipops, adding a touch of R. Crumb's comix madness.

The whole scene is framed in a vibrant, colorful border of musical notes and birthday confetti, capturing the playful essence of a cartoon carnival come to life on a Baltimore street, ensuring Mom's special day is celebrated with joyous, musical whimsy.
