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!

Mouse and Rat

How can you tell the difference between a mouse and a rat? Rats are larger than mice, have blunt noses, thicker tails, and carry handy signs identifying their species.

Thanks to @ratsign on Instagram for letting me borrow his character for a comic! Go check out his amazing miniature artwork–you might spot a Lab Mouse hanging out with a buddy! (And you’ll see why I sweated over drawing R@ just right).

‘Tis the Season…

🤧

I’m finally on the mend after struggling with a cold for two weeks…once I get one, it just hangs on. I ought to use this as my Christmas card some year, since I always seem to get sick between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It’s the one holiday tradition I could do without. Stay healthy, everyone! ❤️
