Illustration Friday: Masks

The word for this week at Illustration Friday is “mask.” I was thinking about all the masking that goes on during the holidays. This is straight out of the old sketchbook.

Monster Christmas

Monsters says, “The great thing about being a monster around Christmas is it’s the one day I can wear a red outfit with my green skin.”

I did this cartoon a few years ago. I’m pretty sure “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” had something to do with this cartoon. It’s either that or one particularly moving episode of “Sesame Street.”

Complete the caption: Santa Jam

This week, I saw a traffic jam on our local freeway. I thought about how this affects the Christmas spirit.

The next thing you know, this image popped into my strange, little mind.

I am using it for the Christian Humor Writers’ “Complete the Caption” exercise this week.

You’re invited to try your own caption in the comments as well.

Merry Christmas,
Kevin

Christmas Music

Well it’s time to hear those Christmas songs and carols over and over again. The radio has gotten a head start this year according to A Racine, Wisconsin article.

“Listen Up” in USA Today has a blog on Improving Radio’s Christmas playlist.

I love Christmas music. At least now I do. Ask me on December 24 and see if my opinion changes.

I’m seeing the elves and the scrooges already. How about you?

Running in shorts in November

Some of you southern guys may not see the big deal in this, but I was excited this morning. I ran in a t-shirt and shorts and it’s late November! There was some puddles and mist, but I’ll take that. This kind of thing doesn’t happen in Indiana-at least not without some kind of permit.

The weather is changing today and tomorrow. They’re talking temps in the thirties, snow and ice. But for this morning, I could run and feel great. God is good.
