This “Crazy Eights” deck comes with no indication of date or publisher. It has perforated edges, so maybe it was sold as a sheet. It bears images of animals carrying numerals: raccoon, bear, rabbit, pig, squirrel, lamb, duck, and kitten. For some reason, the first four are set against a yellow background, and the last four against blue. I like the silhouettes on the back.

Hey, that’s a beautiful card!
2 Doug // May 16, 2014 at 3:01 pm
The card thanks you.

Perhaps that’s where the idea began for the A in your Adjective—albeit in rather crude form.

Huh? I don’t see the connection.
5 Norman Conquest // May 19, 2014 at 5:40 pm
Well it’s an “A,” isn’t it?
6 Doug // May 19, 2014 at 11:41 pm
Why no, it’s a “4.” I didn’t give the world a “4djective.” If I ever have to draw an excited pig, however, I’ll study this card.

Pardon me, but I thought you knew I suffer from a condition called “black eye.”
It’s a rare form of color-blindness in which the color black is perceived as yellow. But tonight someone showed me where the 4 is. I can’t see it of course, so it still looks like the pig is holding an “A.” At least I don’t suffer from the dreaded “pink-eye” because then your comment wouldn’t make sense.

It DOES look like he’s holding an A!

I can see that; but it’s not like the A I used on the cover of Adjective.
