Paperboy Birthday

For: Grandpa Jerry
Occasion: his birthday
















My grandfather introduced me to all kinds of video games, including the Atari gem called Paperboy. The point of the game was to deliver newspapers to all your houses on the block and try to escape various perils, including someone we called "Grandma Gerty" who ran out of her house with a pin and tried to pop your tires. I was recently reintroduced to the game at an arcade bar in Denver, so I wanted to feature the fond memories in Grandpa's card this year.

The newspapers that the paperboy is throwing have special headlines, like "Jerry turns 78" and "Happy Birthday Grandpa."

I hope he is doing well and still enjoying his games!
