This comic postcard prints the punning slogan "Don't start any vast projects with any half-vast ideas!" beside a simple line drawing of a baby or small child with hands clasped. The joke plays on "vast" and "half-vast" (half-assed), a style of mid-20th-century novelty humor. The card has a plain pink background and a black rule border.
Black rule border; printed number "11" at lower right; printed signature near the cartoon; light edge wear and surface mottling.
No postmark. Bright pink comic-card back with printed "POST CARD / Address" and a vertical distributor imprint; a white S.S. Kresge Co. price sticker (D110/50, 2/35¢) sits in the stamp corner. Light edge wear, no handwriting.
