Many years ago, I wrote a cartoon about the moment Robinson Crusoe discovered he was not alone on his island. "I will name you after the day I found you---greetings, Pancake Tuesday!"
Believe it or not, I got paid for that.

I hope you at least do Pancake Tuesday?

To be fair most people don't celebrate these minor holidays here much either.

Groundhog Day is easy, stand a sausage up in a mound of mash and give them a mustard face to enjoy eating while you watch Bill Murry's Groundhog Day.

It is possible I have spent a few decades too many isolated in the bush.

And a Happy New Year of the Snake to you, too. (There's something I've never typed before).
I'm not sure we celebrate many of the "Days" you mention but I hope you enjoy them all. Please post the results of your ice fishing exploits!

Outpourings / Happy Lunar New Year
« Last post by Diane CBPFC on January 29, 2025, 11:09:36 PM »
Inspired by the Larson cartoon "God makes snakes" - "Boy, these things are a cinch" as god rolls out snakes from clay.

Happy Year of the Snake everyone.

I love this mad dash of mid-winter holidays: Robbie Burns, LNY, Groundhog Day, Valentine's, Family Day weekend (ice fishing). I like to have a theme to decorate and cook for, at my age its better than thinking up something myself.

Outpourings / Moose

It looks like the moose have been and gone this year without me seeing them and so no photos to post.

My hubby scared them off when he took scraps down to the compost, he saw a mother and calf. I just saw the footprints.

:D  I hope you found her a picture of a real swordfish, Roger, or just going to think you're really silly.

Indeed, Tarqs. Joyous but exhausting! At the age of two and a half, my granddaughter is currently obsessed with sea creatures. She has a book with pictures of them. I glanced at one and asked "Is that a swordfish?" She gave me a withering look and answered "It's a narwhal."
She is already extremely annoying.

Every time my granddaughter arrives, she insists we get her bricks out and build a house for one of her toys. Then it's time to make plasticine bananas for her stuffed monkey, followed by a game of hide and seek. Then I sleep for two hours...

I hear you, Roger. These are the rewarding times for the likes of us, finally paying off after years of relentless hard labour at the coal face... staring out of windows, creating daft wee cartoons.

Glad to hear that plasticine is making a comeback.

Great cartoon once again Tarqs - I started playing Code Names on an app a few days ago - I found three words that could be connected with a one word 007 clue. Apparently the word Octopussy is offensive to some players so I had to go with Moonraker.

BTW the board game Code Names is now my favourite Christmas board game.
