In a bustling scene set within a lively film set amidst a lush, enchanted jungle, a group of flamboyantly dressed orangutans are enthusiastically directing an American football game. The jungle is alive with oversized tropical plants, their leaves swirling in the background like intricate Art Nouveau patterns reminiscent of Aubrey Beardsley. The orangutans, wearing vintage director’s caps and clutching megaphones, are perched on high director’s chairs made of bamboo. They shout directions with wild enthusiasm, creating an animated tableau full of motion and whimsy.

The football players, clad in retro-style uniforms, are none other than Hercule Poirot clones, each sporting a distinctive waxed mustache and meticulously arranged hair, their expressions comically serious as they strategize their next move. Their cleats carve playful patterns into the grassy field, echoing the playful lines of Quentin Blake’s work.

Above this delightful chaos, a classic Hollywood camera on a tripod stands ready, its lens capturing the unique spectacle. In the background, a cleverly positioned cluster of clouds forms the name “Mark” in bold, swirling letters that echo the grandeur of Maxfield Parrish’s sky scenes. A banner strung between two towering palm trees on either side of the field proudly declares “Happy Birthday Mark!” in letters that shimmer with the vibrant colors of a Maurice Sendak illustration.

Scattered around the scene are elements of detective fiction: magnifying glasses, a pocket watch, and tiny notebooks peeking out from the lush foliage, a nod to Edward Gorey's love for intricate detail. The scene is grounded by a large birthday cake perched on the sideline table, ornately decorated with jungle vines and topped with a miniature football field, complete with tiny Poirot figures and a candle shaped like a director’s megaphone, adding a touch of Arthur Rackham's fantastical charm. This whimsical convergence of themes offers a truly unique and visually engaging birthday greeting for Mark.
