The original drawing penned on the left side of the card depicts the head of Terry's comic strip character "Pipsie Squeakie" with a big bow in her hair and a spotted bow tie at her collar. The drawing is signed at the right: "Best wishes, / hilda terry". The printed three-panel greeting card wishing recipients "A Merry 1950!" depicts a demure angel in a lace collar on the cover with the legend "Seasons' Greetings from hilda terry", and two cavorting angels wrapped in voluminous robes on the inside panels. Hilda Terry [1914-2006] originally wanted to be a sports cartoonist and spent time sketching at sporting events. She changed her plan when she entered a sports cartoon and a comic cartoon in a contest and won with the latter. While working as a waitress in New York City in the 1930s, she studied at the Art Students League. One of her teachers was Gregory d'Alessio whom she married in 1938. She was signed by King Features Syndicate to create a feature comic strip "It's a Girl's Life" which soon became "Teena" and ran from 1941 to 1964. In addition to the title character of Teena Merry, the strip also featured her cynical best friend, the brunette Pipsie Squeakie, who bears a resemblance to the artist. In 1950 Terry was the first woman to be admitted to the previously all-male National Cartoonists Society. She later became an award-winning animator and a pioneer in early computer animation. Fine .
