Snowdrops

My grandma passed away this week. It’s too early for snowdrops here; but they are symbols of renewal and hope, and when the time is right, they will proclaim the coming of Spring. These hoped-for snowdrops are for her.

I will be traveling to be with my family during this time, and will continue posting comics when I return.

Calendrical Caution

Last year’s “Christmas” card design, which continued a theme of calendrical angst begun in 2020. We shall continue to pursue this theme over the next few days, as yet another New Year approaches on a collision course. Put on some goggles and your sturdiest oven mitts.

Popcorn String

It’s Christmas Eve!

Introducing this year’s Christmas card design: “Popcorn String.”

This card was inspired by the neighbor couple who lived in the house opposite when I was growing up. They told me once that among their Christmas decorations, they had a popcorn string which the husband made when he was a boy, and which they still hung on their Christmas tree every year. At the time, the string must have been about 60 years old. I had no idea popcorn could last so long. It certainly doesn’t in my house.

Merry Christmas to all!
