The front cover of this New Year's greeting card features a whimsical, cartoon scene set on a bustling Cape Cod boardwalk. The boardwalk stretches across the foreground, lined with charming, colorful beach huts reminiscent of Winsor McCay's intricate architecture. Each hut is adorned with vibrant holiday lights, casting a cheerful glow that resembles the bold colors of Hergé's Tintin adventures.

In the center of the scene, a giant clam shell stands open like a stage, taking a cue from Osamu Tezuka's dynamic frames. The shell is festooned with seaweed streamers and starfish decorations, setting the stage for a quirky celebration. Inside the shell, a group of animated lobsters, dressed in top hats and bow ties, perform a jubilant New Year’s dance, reminiscent of the playful antics in Charles Schulz's Peanuts. They are surrounded by confetti made from shredded nautical charts, adding a splash of Bill Watterson-style whimsy.

Above the boardwalk, a clear sky stretches into the horizon, filled with fluffy clouds that swirl like the dreamscapes of Little Nemo in Slumberland. In a nod to Gary Larson’s The Far Side humor, a comical seagull with oversized glasses perches on a telephone wire, holding a banner in its beak that reads, "Happy New Year, Elsie!" in bold, festive letters. The name "Elsie" is crafted from seashells and is cleverly integrated into the banner, making it a focal point of the scene.

In the background, the iconic Cape Cod lighthouse towers on a distant cliff, its beacon casting light over the playful chaos below, a touch of nostalgia akin to Will Eisner's atmospheric settings. Waves crash against the rocky shore, captured with Art Spiegelman's detailed textures, while a couple of whales in the distance leap joyfully, as if celebrating alongside the residents of the shore, embodying the humor and exuberance of R. Crumb’s characters. This lively tableau captures the spirit of New Year's with a coastal twist, inviting Elsie to join in the festive cheer.
