From the Kickstarter campaign: With our fourth deck we wanted to take a different approach in art style to keep everyone guessing. We decided to continue with the pharmacy theme, but present it in a silly and creative way. Back in the early to mid 1900's, pharmacies were not only a place to buy medications, they also sold all types of items from milk to birdseed. I found an old pharmacy Almanac from 1926 and quickly showed it to Elettra. I tossed the idea to her for a pharmacy Almanac deck of cards with different advertisements and she instantly loved the idea. She tried a few art styles and quickly found the perfect one to portray the proper era as well as giving it her own personal feel. We spent many months coming up with various ideas for advertising and having everything feel cohesive. We have left many little gems to find that represent our quirky sense of humor, so we hope that you find new treasures each time you pick up the deck. Elettra spent SO much time creating this work of art and made sure that the uncut version was cohesive and had interplay. If you don't end up with an uncut sheet, then I encourage you to lay out the cards in order and see which cards interconnect with each other. Since the deck was inspired by an Almanac booklet, and since Elettra and I LOVE books (see our Sweet Tooth Chronicles), we decided to make a special version where the cards are tucked inside a Pharmacy Almanac book! We hope that you enjoy our creation. Have a wonderful day!
