A serious question for all of you happy party hosts and hostesses out there: When serving up liquid refreshments to your thirstiest guests, what kind of tray are you actually using? If your answer is, "Not the one in today's AEET post", then Mr. Karswell is here to rather roughly remove your pathetic hosting patches and badges! Not so happy now, are ya? But seriously, is this not the best party tray of all time? That amazing, midcentury cartooning and coloring by Joe Carpenter, not to mention the beautiful hand lettering, sure hits it hard in all the right places, with everyone blowin' 3+ sheets to the super soused winds! I'm predicting someone is seriously gonna need a couple of real angel kisses in the morning just to manage a fracturing fall right outta bed!

Super cute. I like how the artist gets in all the cartoon-y drunk signifiers ... bright cheeks, half closed eyes, red noses etc.
I like the Manhattan guy the best, there's a lot of energy and movement in it. All around great piece of work and the colors are bright and the black is deep,
Good job, I suspect, Joe Carpenter, who sneaks in his signature!
I am relinquishing my girl-scout hostess badge because I do NOT have such a tray and therefore everything I’ve ever served has been pure sham-pain. I’m so ashamed. But these little characters with their little recipes are what true champagne wishes and caviar dreams are made of!
Hahaha “sham-pain” omg… well, I can’t say I know much about your liquor serving techniques, but I do know you can whip up some tasty finger foods in a bumper pinch— alas, your hostess badge stays! ;)
Who’s familiar with Joe Carpenter, and any additional works of art?
