Philo: Funny Philosophy Cards

Ancient wisdom first. Modern truth second.

Philo, our resident philosopher, brings ancient wisdom first and modern truth second. He questions everything, including why you thought that birthday cake needed that many candles.

His cards are perfect for philosophy majors, book clubs, teachers, and anyone who likes a little Plato with their punchline.

Philo has cards for every occasion. Every card works the same way: the front sets up the joke, your recipient clicks to open it, and the punchline lands inside with your own note printed in smaller type right below it. Pick a card, add their name and a line or two of your own, and send it by email or text now or on the day you choose. Each card is $2.99, or save with a 5-card pack or the annual pass.
