Oh my, I'm late.
I'm late, I'm late, I'm late! Had to deal with a ton of other stuff (including Black Friday shopping) but we're finally here, and in good Christmas spirits, I hope. Thankfully, my 15 or so years old wacom drawing tablet still wörked fine and I was able to design two brand new cards. They're both about Trump politics – immigration and tariffs –, because let's be honest, that's the only thing that has happened this year.
I've based the main card around Switzerland because those 39% tariffs were the most random and amusing to me. During the creation of the card the tariffs were reduced to 15% so I had to adapt, as you can see. My only regret is that I was unable to draw a gold bar in Americas fat hand, I'm just too disabled to pull it off. Perhaps I'll add it later and then you'll be in possession of the invaluable
first edition 'no gold bar' misprint cards, selling for thousands on ebay. Side note - the annullment of the 50% tariff on Brazil coffee was announced after I had sent the card to printing, so spare me the complaints.
The second card is celebrating the Catholic holy year of 2025, which you all have heard of, naturally. A conclave happens only so often and I felt like I couldn't let the opportunity pass. Saint Nicholas is a dangerous foreigner of course, from Afghanistan perhaps, so ICE has to stop him and his suspicious European companions.

I'm sending out those cards to any Bernd who wants to have them, starting tonight. Consider the project a charity since the cards are free. I'm not garch but I can afford some stamps (card printing cost is negligible anyway). There's even a surplus of older cards because I always order too many. See next post for more infa.
To receive the cards, please send an email to
[email protected] with an address to send to. In the next post there's a little form that you can use (optional). Please excuse me taking a while to respond sometimes (I have Christmas autism), but if you haven't heard from me in 48h, write again and/or post in this ITT thread, as some email providers are blocked (I'm looking at you, cock.li!). We'll find a way.
Eine schöne Adventszeit euch allen!
