Week 36: Make a Calvin and Hobbes Style Snowman Scene

As usual I am terribly behind schedule.  But you know who was on schedule?  Mussolini.  Which path is better in life?  Fascist dictator who kept the trains running on time.  Or his laid back brother, Herbert-olini?  I think if we're all honest with ourselves we all know who we would choose.

What I'm getting at here is this post for week 36 is already past due.  It was drawn a full week ago.  Let's take a trip in the way way back machine none the less.

It was a special drawing, my last day working at Pearson, after being forced out for numerous HR violations involving food.  Doing the honors was Craig, Jimmy Stewart voice over artist extraordinaire.

Seen here flagrantly ignoring the rules and looking while drawing

The result, is one that some will immediately know, and others will need explained to them.


To wit: in the popular newspaper Comic strip Calvin and Hobbes, a recurring joke was Calvin's macabre snowman sculptures and scenes.  See below.

You get the idea

The goal then is to re-create or create my own version of such a scene.  It will be glorious if not for one problem.

There is no fucking snow!!!

This is the one and only point in my entire existence on this planet where I've wished there was snow.  So, now I need to consider my options to achieve this.

1.  Wait
I can let it languish on the postponed pile with the other Susan Lucci of the challenge world "punch someone and get punched by someone", and wait until there is snow

2.  Find Snow
It's a big planet, there's got to be snow somewhere, there is probably even snow on top of some of these mountains I see every day.  Find the snow, make the snowmen.

3.  Fake Snow
The final option is to somehow fake the scene, I can make it miniature and make my own snow, I can try to find snowman suits or snow like material, the options are limitless.  Actually, probably just those 2 options, so the options are limitless up to 2.

I want to do this one right so it may take a while.
