A cute card from Taipei. I don't know if it is a cartoon, or book character. Maybe you can help me out!

This card is from Princess Mononoke , a Japanese animated historical fiction film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. It tells the story of Ashitaka, a young Emishi prince who journeys west to cure his cursed arm and becomes embroiled in the conflict between the forest of the gods and a nearby town, as well as the feud between Lady Eboshi, the town's leader, and San, a human girl raised by wolves. 

This is a great card from Kenosha. It is "How to Foil a UFO Abduction." According to the instructions there are four things you must do to foil a UFO abduction: Control your thoughts - Do not think of anything violent or upsetting - the extraterrestrial biological entity (EBE) may have the ability to read your mind. Resist verbally - Firmly tell the EBE to leave you alone. Resist mentally - Picture yourself enveloped in a protective shield of white light, or in a safe place. Telepathic EBE's may get the message. Resist physically - As a last resort, go for the EBEs eyes. You will not know what its other more sensitive areas are. [notive the diagram of the EBE and where the eyes are]
