I reproduce here in full the handwritten text of the card
spatch handed me this afternoon, although not the small cartoons, simultaneously reminiscent of George Herriman and Don Marquis, that accompanied it:
Whereas two discerning movie cats—
T. Autolycus Lewton
and Hestia H. Lupino
wish to ensure a
STEADY
SUPPLY
OF
LAP
(where else would they sleep?)
(very important!)
in the coming year
they have authorized me
(the guy what gives them food)
to purchase,
for your continued
viewing enjoyment
and source of brilliant inspiration
and lap
A YEAR'S SUBSCRIPTION
TO THE CRITERION
(cat)
COLLECTION
AND MAY YOU SEE WONDERFUL THINGS
The card itself says something pleasant about light, joy, and peace, and has been enhanced by a scratch-inked small black cat in hot pursuit of tiny wings ("BUT STILL DEATH TO MOTHS").
Merry Christmas!
