Picture a whimsical birthday card scene bursting with humor and delight: In the foreground stands the colossal "Hogman," a jovial giant of a pig wearing a red and white striped party hat that's hilariously too small for his head. His rotund belly juts out from beneath a stretched-out, polka-dotted vest, and he's got an oversized bow tie around his neck. Hogman is holding an enormous, frosted birthday cake with the words "Happy Birthday, Ken!" spelled out in multicolored icing on top, complete with a cascade of lit candles that seem to glow in their own cartoonish brilliance.

Around Hogman, a flock of small, comical birds—reminiscent of Hergé’s whimsical touch—flutter about, some carrying streamers, while others are playfully balancing colorful balloons in their beaks. Each balloon has a letter printed on it, and together they spell out "K-E-N" in bold letters across the sky. The scene is set in a quaint village with quaint, exaggerated houses inspired by Winsor McCay's dreamlike architecture, where windows smile and rooftops tilt whimsically.

In the background, a large, lush apple tree bends under the weight of its bountiful fruit, each apple featuring a different exaggerated expression à la Gary Larson's "The Far Side." One apple, in particular, has popped eyes and an exaggeratedly dropped jaw as it witnesses Hogman's cake, adding a touch of slapstick to the scene. A squirrel, borrowing a bit of Bill Watterson's dynamic style, is cheekily trying to sneak a cherry off the cake, its tiny hand reaching out mischievously.

Above all, the sky is a canvas of swirling clouds in the style of Charles Schulz, each shaped like a different birthday object—a wrapped gift, a party horn, and, of course, a cupcake. The sun smiles down on the scene with a contented grin, casting a warm, golden hue that enhances the cartoonish charm of the moment.

This enchanting and humorous illustration combines classic influences to create a unique birthday scene that celebrates Ken's day in a delightfully imaginative way.
