The scene bursts to life on the front of a New Year's greetings card, depicting a whimsical and dynamic tableau that celebrates Marcel aus Aachen & Delft :). At the forefront, a comically exaggerated Deutsche Bahn train, its wheels whimsically transformed into spinning gears, steams across the middle of the card, bridging the iconic landscape of Aachen on the left and Delft on the right. Above the train, a giant banner tied to kites (with a nod to Charles Schulz's love of flying things) joyously flutters in the sky, spelling out "Happy New Year, Marcel aus Aachen & Delft :)" in bold, playful letters.

In Aachen, a cartoon version of the city's famous cathedral stands proudly, while tiny figures in prison suits playfully enact a real-life role-playing game on its steps, oblivious to the academic figure in a graduation cap (suggesting a recent PhD) enthusiastically scribbling quantum physics equations onto a large scroll that cascades down the steps. To the right, Delft showcases its picturesque canals with a martial artist executing a perfect high-kick, reminiscent of Bill Watterson's energetic Calvin, right atop a narrow bridge.

Above it all, the sky is alive with kitesurfers catching the wind, one of whom is juggling a stack of colorful books labeled "Quantum Physics" while balancing on his board, a nod to the playful complexities of R. Crumb's style. High in the distance, the snow-capped Alps of Innsbruck watch over the scene, with cartoonish mountain bikers performing daring downhill stunts off the peaks, echoing the adventurous spirit of Will Eisner's characters. The whole scene is an exuberant tapestry of interconnected themes, each piece playfully and meticulously tied together to celebrate Marcel's unique interests and places.
