About this card

For the colleague or friend stepping away from alarm clocks and meetings, this cartoon retirement card is a warm, sly little send-off. The front shows a plump rooster tucked under a patchwork quilt, sleeping with a stitched eye mask and a satisfied smile; above him the headline reads “Someone else’s problem now” and a wall clock cheekily labels the time as “none.” It’s pitched for anyone who’s earned the right to hand off responsibilities and trade hustle for long, slow mornings.

The illustration’s cozy palette of cream, warm wood tones, and muted reds gives the scene a mellow, homey glow, and the small “Do Not Disturb (Seriously)” sign nailed to the footboard nails the joke with gentle affection. It feels like congratulating someone on a well-deserved retreat—funny without being snarky, soft around the edges, and utterly convinced they’ve earned every minute of rest to come.
