Default Classic!

Now that's funny Brian!

Find a similarly done-up '15 as Miss Marple and you'll have quite the CJ crossover-subset (so to speak). My vote is for Tinker - its the hair.

Default Another Heinie

It looks a lot like another Heinie, namely Kaiser Wilhelm, who was a prominent bad guy in 1915. I think it is a fascinating insight into history to think of a 10 year old kid who got this card out of a box of Cracker Jack in 1915, and amused himself in this way. He and his pals probably got a good laugh out of it!

Always reminds me of this card. And the first Poirot novel came out in 1920, so it wasn't likely an inspiration for this card alteration. I think it may just be stray ink; not intentional.
