This was done by Hallmark Artist Keven Labow he only worked there a short time (1974 - 1975) but came up with some very had to find cards like "Sunk Skunk" (Valentines day) "Peggy: The Pregnant high school student" (Graduation) "Santa's frisky Elves" (Christmas) and "Lil' Greg: The fourth of July Rapist" (Independence Day US) . The above "Sunk Skunk" card was part of a set of 7 (One for each day of the week leading up to valentine) and with each card the skunk appears to become more despondent. In the last card of that particular serious it was subtly implied that if you rebuffed the advances of the giver it would be you yourself who was to shot, weighed down with a rock and thrown into a river.
Drowning himself is just a backup/second stage. If the shot to the head isn't lethal, he'll drown well before anyone gets a chance to take him to the hospital. Secondly, by basically disposing of his own body, he's doing two things. First, he's making it so no one's day gets ruined by finding his corpse. Second, he's making it so the woman (or man) he loves isn't heart broken by his murder, but instead never quite sure what happened to poor ole' stinky. Knowing that someone killed themselves because of you is probably more torture than wanting to kill yourself...assuming you don't lack empathy. By doing it this way, stinky here is basically saying to the world "Sorry for using so much air, I'll close the door on my way out."
Poor stinky doesn't need lithium, weed, to get laid or anything. He needs a miracle. Logically, this miracle will have to come from Neptune, God of the Sea!
Seriously though, what the hell would happen today if this card was released by Hallmark? I'd definitely want to be across the pond for it.
Actually lithium is used to treat manic episodes in bipolar or manic depression...he would need some sort of antidepressant...but skunk sounds good too

I just don't know what epic means anymore. Maybe I never did.

Did "epic" really need to be capitalized? Or used at all, for that matter?
mhugginsAug 11, 2010Buried
It's cause it's an Epic...you know, an Electronic Pic.

That skunk needs some lithium.

That is one strong skunk! How the f**k is he holding up that rock with one arm?

I love it, they really were the Greatest Generation. All the Baby Boomers made that sort of thing illegal.

Yep, this was before the pussification of America!
