Goofy Gumpus Series - Valentine Card Cryptozoology

There are at least 2 different versions of the Goofy Gumpus series of mechanical flat valentine cards. The slightly larger version (our top card seen below) is on heavier paper and has a more matte look to its finish than the slightly smaller version (seen below at bottom). Both feature nonsensical animals with 3 different heads and a figure with a sign (Valentine Greetings) seated atop the beast.

Why the funny animal? It's just my funny way Of bringing you my message My greeting for today~ Be My Valentine!
