One has to believe that Hallmark will pull this unfinished piece of work down quickly. Get it while you can.

hey, what do you mean unfinished piece of work. I meant for it to only be in black and white.
It’s actually been on the Hallmark site for a couple of years. I’m the artist, writer and voice of the honest boss.
glad you found it funny.

Congratulations — it’s an internet classic. I get more search engine hits on this one entry than anything else on this site.
I thought it was a hoot. Didn’t think it was unfinished because of the lack of color, but rather because of the Lorem Ipsum text at the end. I guess Hallmark’s card system must have a way to substitute that with the senders own text?

Bob Holt is brilliant! From Hoops and Yoyo to anything else he seems to touch…I just laugh outloud. His unique brand of humor got me through a pretty nasty run in with cancer…Let’s hear it for a unique and talented new voice in the artistic community!
He did Hoops and Yoyo too? My kids LOVE them.
He does it all! Hoops and Yoyo and a number of really funny cards from Hallmark. He is really inventive and his style seems to change with each new project. He started Hoops and Yoyo when he needed some cards for a deadline at Hallmark so he “stole from himself” an idea he was working on at home about a big pink cat and brought Hoops to Hallmark… Yoyo followed shortly.
