Cartoon of Santa Claus and a boy. The boy says, “You know something? You are quite the phenomenon.”
Guys in red suits are always a phenomenon this time of year. I marvel at all of Santa’s helpers. There are a lot of varieties and interpretations of the jolly, old elf.
I drew this for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “phenomenon.”
Cartoon of the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus. The Easter Bunny says, “I had a surplus last year. Could you make a few Easter eggs into stocking stuffers?”
I used to wonder if the holiday characters had formed alliances. This would have been a good thing if I didn’t get what I wanted for Christmas, and the Easter bunny would take over Santa’s list in the spring.
Alas, neither Santa Claus nor the Easter Bunny ever brought me that nuclear powered jet pack. How was I supposed to rocket around Sheridan Indiana without a jet pack? I was doomed to take the school bus just like everyone else.
Cartoon of a dog and cat. The cat says, “It will be a real Thanksgiving when they start serving tuna.”
Cats never looked like the kind of animal that would like a day of giving thanks. Perhaps they do all their thanking in their sleep.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Cartoon of a woman and a butcher. The butcher says, “The entire family is coming for Thanksgiving. One turkey won’t cut it. How much for ostrich?”
Cartoon of a wife and husband in a kitchen. The wife says, “We’re having a traditional Thanksgiving. Here’s a musket. The turkey is in the backyard.”
It’s Thanksgiving week in the USA. Time to figure out how to get that turkey with all the trimmings. I’ve never shot a turkey, nor have I had the privilege of using a musket. I’m hoping we can find the perfect bird at our neighborhood grocer. It’s much tidier that way.
