Myrtle’s Responsibility — Playing Cards

Bring a piece of family history to your next game night with the Myrtle’s Responsibility playing cards, featuring original artwork by Justyn Simon created for The Biography of Earl Dewey Fisher | Episode 3: Brothers and Sisters. Inspired by Earl’s memories of childhood, the artwork captures a heartfelt scene of his oldest sister, Myrtle, caring for him while their mother tends to his younger sister, Lillian.

As the eldest of eight children, Myrtle took on responsibilities far beyond her years. Earl later reflected on the love and care she showed him during his earliest days, preserving a memory that continues to live on through this artwork. Now, that touching moment has been transformed into a unique deck of cards that combines storytelling, history, and functional design.

Whether used for family game nights, displayed as a collectible, or gifted to lovers of genealogy and historical art, these playing cards celebrate the enduring bonds between siblings and the stories that shape our lives.

A lovingly crafted deck of poker playing cards that brings artful storytelling to every hand. Each standard 52-card deck (plus 2 jokers) is printed on smooth 300 gsm premium-coated cardstock for effortless dealing and clean shuffles. The faces feature classic, easy-to-read pips and a detailed ace design, while the custom illustrated backs show a warm, cottage-scene watercolor—mothers and children in a cozy interior—that adds a nostalgic, intimate mood to game night. Cards arrive in a clear acrylic box so the artwork is visible on your shelf or table and stays protected between sessions. This deck sits beautifully between functional playability and quiet, homey charm—reach for it when you want a calm, story-rich card game with friends or family.
