Happy Festivus from Pettson and Findus, via Sven Nordqvist.
Best known for his series about the old farmer Pettson and his talented cat Findus, Sven Otto Rickard Nordqvist originally wanted to be an illustrator but was rejected by several art schools. Instead he studied architecture at Lund Institute of Technology, and worked for a time there as a lecturer in architecture. At the same time he continued to look for work as an illustrator working on advertisements, posters and picture books. In 1983 he won first prize in a children’s book competition and since then has worked exclusively as an author and illustrator of children’s books.

Happy Holidays, everyone, regardless of how you celebrate them (or ignore them). Happy today, happy tomorrow, happy forever. (Well, I can dream, right?)
Thank you and Jeffrey for introducing me to such a delightful illustrator!
My sentiments exactly!
Due to Axial Tilt, the reason for the season, and the vagaries of geography, it is already Xmas Day.
Today we celebrate the birth of a child to a single mother. A child who was to grow and change the wold in unimaginable ways.
Happy Birthday, Isaac Newton.
Thanks Iknklast! Happy whatever to you and all our other friends and associates on this island of partial sanity in this world.
Thanks iknklast, happy holidays to everyone as well. So far I have enjoyed being with family and eating and playing board games and talking endlessly about everything.
