Would you mind telling me where you found these? This guy I’m dating, he’s a huge R. Crumb fan, and his birthday is coming up…

As far as I am aware, the cards Crumb designed for American Greetings have been out of print since the 1960s.
The only place I’ve ever seen them for sale is on ebay.

Have you run across this one? It is multi-panel and starts with a fellow feeling blue because he is broke and it’s your birthday so he decides to reupholster the old sofa, finding it is full of money, reveling in his new wealth, then remembering his old friend’s birthday, with the final panel showing him in tux with cigar saying pompously that when you come to pickup your present please use the servants’ entrance. I would love to find a reproduction of that one.

Haven’t seen that one, Clarke. Sorry.
