Description:

This collectible phone card showcases a whimsical, colorful illustration by Kevin Clever, marked as "Kevin Clever 2" in the top right corner. Priced at $3, it is prominently displayed in bold black print on the upper left side. The center of the card features a humorous cartoon scene that offers subtle social commentary on telecommunications and societal interactions. It depicts three main characters engaged in a discussion or transaction, each with exaggerated facial expressions and distinctive postures that convey lively personalities. One character, wearing glasses, a checkered shirt beneath a jacket, and a hat, holds out a red hat as if collecting money or cards. His animated expression suggests active engagement in the scene.

Next to him, a man in a greenish-yellow shirt, slouching slightly, reaches toward the hat, perhaps contributing to the collection. A third character, a man in a suit, leans down with a smile, placing what appears to be a phone card into one of three tin cans labeled with monetary values ($3, $5, and $10). A sign in front of the cans clarifies that only telephone cards are accepted, not cash, adding a playful yet clear instruction to the scene. The background is richly detailed, featuring a small dog on a leash curiously observing the scene and a sign on the wall that reads “CHANGE CARD PHONES,” indicating a location of public phone services.

Further into the background, additional elements enhance the setting’s urban ambiance. A payphone booth on the right side shows a man in a blue jacket using the phone, emphasizing a realistic cityscape. Behind the characters, various posters and notices are pinned to a brick wall, suggesting an urban street corner or phone booth station. Clever injects subtle humor through details like the curious dog and cluttered notes on the wall, creating a lively, lived-in atmosphere. The overall tone is nostalgic, evoking a time when phone cards and payphones were commonplace, and amusing, thanks to the expressive characters rendered in Kevin Clever’s signature style.

The backside of the card features a simple, practical design. It has a plain white background with black text providing instructions or legal information typical of collectible phone cards. There may also be a barcode or magnetic strip area for swipe actions, along with serial numbers or terms of use. This minimalist back contrasts with the vivid storytelling on the front, emphasizing the card’s dual role as both a collectible item and a functional telephone access card. The combination of art and utility makes the Kevin Clever 2 card a unique piece that appeals to collectors, vintage technology enthusiasts, and fans of clever humor alike.
