Cartoon of a man and his dog. They are trying to go up an icy hill, to no avail. I drew this for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “reverse.”
There’s been a lot of ice in Indiana lately. This week, I’ll be pleased if I merely slide in reverse instead of crashing onto my derriere.
Illustration of a snowball fight. A girl holds a snowball while a boy behind a snow fort surrenders. I drew this for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “surrender.”
Cartoon of boy and a chicken. The boy says, “I want to thank you for showing me what it truly means to be a chicken.”
I drew this for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “chicken.”
Cartoon of a lamb and wolf. The sheep says, “€œThis year, I resolve to stay away from unnecessary risks.”
When I heard Illustration Friday’s word was “resolutions” this week, I thought of this cartoon I did in 2002. It’s funny for me because I had been laid off at the time, I had just gotten a new job, and everything seemed like a risk. I’m glad I can look back on things and see how there was a plan and everything worked out!
Dad and son in front of their house. The dad has a snow shovel. This was for Illustration Friday. This weeks word is “winter.”
When I heard this week’s theme, it reminded me of a Christmas Eve years ago when a snow storm was coming. My son and I spent the afternoon preparing for it. There wasn’t any snow until that day and we had to take care of some of the autumn maintenance that I kept putting off. I remember it as a fun afternoon where my son was talking about all the books and TV shows he loved. He would recite story lines from his favorite shows and books. It was a great time to be together.
May you have a blessed Christmas.
