I made the cards tall and narrow – inspired by old Chinese playing cards. This was created at about the same time as the Tarot of the Lepidopteran People, which also has slightly narrow cards. I chose to use a cartoony style for this deck, since I felt that it would be more suited for the theme, which is children at play. The scenes nonetheless still adhere to the Rider-Waite-Smith’s meanings and blockings. A peculiarity of the layout of the deck is the mound at the back of each scene, which does not change its position. The deck has a Happy Squirrel Card – the first Happy Squirrel card I made (the Happy Squirrel card is an inside joke within the tarot circle, which was popularized by the Simpsons television series).
