St. Patrick's Day Greeting Card: Girl with Irish Setter Dog

The text 'Dear Irish Molly O' does the ethnic shorthand heavy lifting so the card doesn't have to try any harder — and if you wanted to convey 'top o' the morning,' a curly-haired girl with a green bow resting her chin on a large brown dog with the serene confidence of someone who absolutely owns this animal's soul would certainly be the move. Molly's expression isn't dead-eyed — it's worse: she looks genuinely content, radiating the unsettling calm of a child who has already won every argument she will ever have. The dog, to his credit, appears to be tolerating this with the resigned dignity of someone who has accepted his fate as a St. Patrick's Day prop.
