Leigh Rubin is an American cartoonist. He began his cartooning career in 1978 by establishing his own greeting card company, Rubes Publications, featuring early renditions of his animal characters. Then he designed a popular greeting card series with characters having the shape of musical notes and published it as his first cartoon collection, Notable Quotes, in 1981. NMRH7SQEBAEW
His first serious collaboration with newspapers started in 1984. His friend was the editor of Antelope Valley Press in Palmdale (California, US). He asked Rubin about writing a daily comic for the newspaper. Now Leigh’s cartoons can be found in more than 400 newspapers worldwide.
In 2009 Leigh celebrated the 25th anniversary of Rubes® with the publication of The Wild and Twisted World of Rubes, a “best of” collection which contains 240 of his personal favourites out of over 9,500 cartoons.
Today we are going to see the official playing card deck featuring wacky cow cartoons from the twisted world of Leigh – Rubes Playing Cards (Rubes® is a registered trademark of Leigh Rubin).
The deck: 52 playing cards with different cartoons + 2 Jokers. Poker size. The deck is manufactured and distributed under license by Aquarius. Playing cards were printed (in China) on cardboard and have some kind of an embossed finish (looks like linen).

It is time to speak about this blog… 7,000 (the first month on WordPress), 10,000 (March, 2013), 29,000 (the third month on WordPress), 50,000 (June, 2013), 77,000 (half a year on WordPress)… and now 100,000. Yes, as of today the “Playing Cards + Art = Collecting” blog has been viewed more than 100,000 times.
What can I say? I guess…
But going back to the serious tone… ta-ta… ok, sorry. What I really want to do is to thank my readers for their attention and curiosity; artists featured on this blog for their talent and imagination; playing card producers for their sociability and efforts put into production of their decks. This blog couldn’t exist and doesn’t have any sense without all that. Thank you!

This artwork is created by the American artist, Fidoburger (nickname), and arranged like a playing card. He got his inspiration from the song Sierra by Cursive. Also you can see several Tarot cards designed by the artist.
