The little person who drew these little people was certainly on the right track.

Jim et Jean-Paul

These guys, seemingly from Quebec, went on vacation in 1977, it seems, to St. Lucia and had their own postcards printed up, all in green with funny comments documenting their sunburns, bar tabs and snarky complaints.
I found a total of 8 different cards ( with several doubles!) in a batch of postcards I picked up for the shop.
I smartened up quick and pulled these from the shelves needing, somehow, to share their uniqueness before they sold.
They are now in my private collection and I'd love to meet these guys and ask them about their trip.

Cul = ass, btw.
