Adorable Murphy Mouse Card by Barbi Sargent American Greetings 1974....

This cute little guy is called Murphy Mouse. He is an original character created by Barbi Sargent when she was at American Greetings for the many years she was an artist for them. I'm a big fan of puffy fluffy little critters. He is such a cute little guy. I love the expression on his face. He looks extra specially adorable popping out of this cheese block. This card is from 1974 AGC. These earlier cards have the copy right on the inside and back of card as well. The back middle has a Itty drawing of Murphy Mouse .  It simply reads  "Murphy" TM  in yellow. It is an earlier card of this character as the name of the back starts to read
" Murphy Mouse" on the back on some at around 1976 with just an outline of the name with no color or tiny mouse by the logo as this one does. Some have the date and some don't mention this little guy being Murphy or Murphy Mouse at all. Also they do not seem to be signed by Barbi Sargent with the usual Barbi signature so I kinda just have to look out for them. Hope you enjoy my brief intro to Murphy Mouse. I have a whole Barbi Sargent area on the Retro Ephemera section dedicated specifically to her Greeting cards that feature her art work. You can check it out here at:

I am in the process of populating it now. I have many cards with her wonderful artwork. Stay tuned......
