I LOVE my Octopus! He is the best postcard I have now-out of about 2000 postcards! I am an avid collector of postcards and can honestly say I have never received such professional packaging or service! I am so thrilled. Both cards in the exact shaped mentioned-they are both brilliant and better than expected! The boy riding the alligator is hilarious! He is another of my new favorites! I will be back for more soon! Thank you so much!
