“Mixies” — an Ed-u-Cards creation from 1956 — touted itself as the “card game of 1001 funny figures.” Each card showed 1/3 of a person or animal, each from the circus; players could mix them up and admire the comical results; or collect sets of figures in a more conventional card game. And, in either case, enjoy that distinctively ’50s graphic verve.

I like this “loudmouth”. Can one lay the different cards out and mix them up in an “exquisite corpse” kind of game?

That’s the idea: you can mix them up for the funny combos, or collect three of a kind. Me, I just enjoy their brash “cocktail napkin” style.

I’d like to see a drunken woman in that deck. Or a woman with a big personality. Is Phyllis Diller in there with a cigarette holder?

It’s a circus theme, so it’s mostly animals. The only human female is a drum majorette. She’s perky; but I would have preferred a larger personality too…
