First of all, I love the poem. It's so... well... happy. Great writing, as always. It somehow reminded me a bit of those two songs by Monty Python:

The card is indeed great. You really captured your friends, but very very much captured that adventure spirit of Tintin. It looks very much like a new book. Makes me want to dig out my collection and reread them all. Always was a big Tintin fan. Even made my dad go with me to the Tintin museum in Belgium when I was a kid.

Thanks Arjan, your encouragement is always well received. I'll check out the Monty Python videos and I'm sure they'll be super entertaining 😀.

Also dude! How was the Herge museum back then? I visited it in June during my Europe trip because I'm just as big a fan, and it was almost like a pilgrimage for me. I spent 4 hours going through the place and brought home a lot of souvenirs.

Edit: checked out the Monty Python songs and they were amazing as ever 😀

That card looks fantastic! Getting something personalized like that is so much more powerful than a generic invitation. And thank goodness you were feeling better in order to attend the wedding!

Thank you Chris! Yes, my biggest worry with covid was that I wouldn't recover in time for this lovely event. Thankfully I recovered just in time and here we are!
