Jolly Halloween Black Cat Die-Cut Greeting Card, 1920s-1930s

The card text reads 'A Jolly Hallowe'en,' yet the black cat with dinner-plate yellow eyes and a grin full of visible teeth—sporting a red bow tie with the confidence of absolute chaos—looks like it's about to recite your sins back to you. Musical notes cheerfully float above this unsettling proclamation of jollity, and the full yellow moon behind the creature serves as a halo that's doing absolutely zero work to make it seem holy. The small bat in the upper right corner is frankly the most normal thing in this entire composition, and whoever designed this card clearly believed Halloween's primary purpose was to make children question whether cats were, in fact, their friends.
