Wish You Were Here, from Richard F. Outcault
Here's a 1905 card by Outcault for the J. Ottmann company. As wordy as Outcault could be, I've generally found that he is only verbose in service to humour; here the three bits of text all sort of collide into a gag-mess that is unusual for him. In my humble opinion, "Yours Just Received" alone offers us a good gag, and is ruined by all the extraneous bits.

Hello Allan-
At least there weren't a plethora of signs, plaques and wiseacre kibitzing animals to contribute as well.
