Vintage Halloween Greeting Card with Witch and Jack-o'-Lantern

What most people miss at first glance is just how skeletal and anatomically ambitious that witch's limbs are — hat askew, she's aggressively chasing a pumpkin-headed figure across a fence-lined rural landscape, both parties apparently mid-sprint in what the card insists is a festive greeting. The jack-o-lantern-headed being is fleeing in what can only be described as full panic mode, white garments billowing, while the witch gives chase with the unhinged energy of a Black Friday shopper. Then, as if the imagery weren't doing enough heavy lifting, the verse helpfully clarifies: 'Be careful or the goble-uns will get you, sure as sin' — because nothing says 'thinking of you this October' like a rhyming threat of supernatural capture. Truly, the Edwardian era understood that the line between a holiday card and a hostage situation was purely decorative.
