Crafty Greeting Card – Fathers Day (C34)

£3.80

This card playfully charts the course of your relationship with Dad, culminating in the most important stage: permanent ownership! It’s a funny and slightly stalker-ish (in a loving way) declaration that he’s the “Best Dad Ever” and you’re not trading him in for anyone.

Interpretation:

  • Humour: The humour comes from the unexpected and slightly possessive turn the message takes. It starts with the typical progression of a relationship (meeting, liking, loving) but then humorously deviates with “I’M KEEPING YOU,” implying a permanent and perhaps slightly forceful affection. The red plus signs and the crossed-out “I LOVED YOU” add to the playful and slightly absurd nature of the sentiment.
  • Target Audience: This card is for a father figure (“Best DAD EVER”). The humour suggests a close and comfortable relationship where a bit of playful possessiveness and unconventional expressions of love would be appreciated.
  • Occasion: While not explicitly stated, the “Best DAD EVER” makes it highly suitable for Father’s Day or a birthday.
  • Tone: The tone is humorous, affectionate, slightly possessive (in a joking way), and unconventional. It’s a fun and quirky way to express love for a father figure.
