The front cover of the birthday greeting card bursts with vibrant, playful energy. The scene unfolds in a whimsical park setting, reminiscent of Charles Schulz's charming landscapes but with a twist of the extraordinary, much like Winsor McCay's imaginative realms. A soccer field stretches across the middle of the card, marked with wonky goalposts adorned with colorful math symbols like pluses, minuses, and pi symbols, adding an educational flair reminiscent of Bill Watterson’s mischievous approach. In the center, Calvin, a lively character with tousled hair and a cheeky grin, kicks a soccer ball that defies gravity, looping through a giant equation suspended in the air. This equation is humorously concocted from numbers wearing tiny soccer boots, jumping and leaping in delight.

Around Calvin, his friends, each with distinctive, quirky attributes inspired by R. Crumb's eccentric characters, cheer and point at the sky where the ball traverses. One friend holds a math textbook as if coaching the ball through the numerical cloudscape, while another juggles calculators as if they were part of the soccer match. Above this dynamic scene, the sky is filled with fluffy clouds shaped like algebraic expressions. A banner strung between two trees reads, "Celebrate a Decade of Calvin!" with each letter formed by soccer balls that have grown playful cartoon legs and arms, adding a touch of Hergé's playful, Tintin-esque action. Nearby, a tree trunk doubles as a blackboard, chalked with birthday wishes and confetti-filled numbers.

In the background, a tiny, cartoonish astro boy figure, reminiscent of Osamu Tezuka's work, floats with a pencil, scribbling imaginary plays in the sky, a nod to the limitless imagination found in both math and friendship. This card is a bustling carnival of arithmetic and athletics, celebrating Calvin's milestone in a way that promises laughter and joy.
