SANTA AND THE DIRTIER SIDE OF CHRISTMAS!!!

One week to go until the jolly fat man makes his long trip over!  What?  No wise ass, not Uncle Elmer!  Santa Claus!  'Course, Santa has a lot of prep to do before heading over.  In addition to the toys, he's gotta make sure the sleigh's well oiled and properly aligned and that the reindeer are fed and well rested.  With all these incidentals going on, how does Santa find the time to prepare his own self for the long night ahead?  Scroll down and find out if you really wanna know!  Enjoy...

It's not all fun and games for the elves.  Some are good at making toys while others excel at baking cookies in trees or repairing shoes for old cobblers.  Then there are those that just plain can't cut it anywhere.  Those elves get designated as Santa's personal groomers!  Exactly why Santa would want the career slackers to be in charge of how he looks is anyone's guess, but some say it is a means of coaxing these bottom feeders into trying a little harder!  And it seems to be working as these elves have found a very creative means of escaping their duties using a little bit of diligence and a LOT of helium!  Lucky for them, Santa's jelly bowl belly prevents him from looking up much, so they are in the clear...  So long as they don't deflate too soon! This art was originally part of the legendary Animaloon Collective on Twitter.  Elfloons were a bonus challenge held for a few Decembers during Animaloonies run from 2017-2023.  Those were fun days, but all good things must come to an end eventually.  The Loons always gave us a lift I tell ya!

Well folks, one week to go, but I promise next week will be a fun post, and a quick one, to compliment all you holiday merrymaking!  So be sure to come back and check it out!  In the meantime, please think of others this holiday season!  Donate to food/toy/clothing banks ASAP!  It's never too late and your help makes a world of difference.  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

ELF!!! I NEED SOMEBODY!!!

Well, we've come to the end of September.  Literally as a matter of fact!  The future still isn't clear, but I do know one thing: The Holiday Season is upon us as the countdown to Halloween is on!  I know the world's in rough shape right now, but I can't help but be excited over the festivities that are on the way!  Outside of my annual holiday trips to Disneyland, I don't really do too many social gatherings during the holidays anyway, so things really won't be all that different for me under current circumstances.  But enough about that.  You want art and I'm here to deliver!  Enjoy...

ELVES!!!  How many of us have them?  Well, not many, unless you're Santa Claus, or own an oak tree bakery or happen to be a poor, tired old shoemaker.  In those cases, you might have many elves hanging around the premises.  Our last entry for this month was another subject for Animal Alphabets.  Elves are almost always synonymous with Christmas, so for this entry, I decided to take the shoemaking approach.  And although he's still dressed more like he came from a North Pole workshop, make no mistake about it, this Elf's a world class cobbler!

And that's a wrap on September 2020.  Be sure to come back next week as we kickoff October with some monstrous fun just in time for Halloween!  Until then, stay safe, take care and I'll catch y'all later!

CHRISTMAS IS COMING?!? GET THE ELF OUT?!?

December marches on, CRAZIES!  With any luck, I'll have already gotten my Christmas shopping done by this point but it's highly doubtful.  Past Jon is a huge dolt that's always flying by the seat of his pants!  He could really take a cue from Future Jon's playbook.  He always has his crap together!

Anyway, it's time for some more holiday art, and who better to deliver some than one of Santa's helpers?  Santa himself?  Well yeah, wise guy, he would!  But the Jolly Old Elf isn't available, so we're getting one of his elves instead!  Enjoy...

We may not have the Jolly Old Elf today, but we got the Jolly Little Elf, and that's not so bad, right?  This art came from my first go around with illo_advent back in 2016.  There's no real theme with this collective other than the art being holiday-related.  As a result, that year I just drew random Christmas scenes, most starring characters from the CRAZYVERSE.  I like the design of the Elf here.  He's childlike yet still clearly an adult, just like a real Christmas Elf!

And that's all for this week.  Next time we'll make a stop at the Isle of Misfit Toys and see if we can find some hidden gems.  Please think of others this Holiday Season.  Every little bit helps!  Donate to food, clothing and toy drives today!  Take care and I'll catch y'all later!

THAT'S HOW THE CHRISTMAS COOKIE CRUMBLES!!!

IT'S HERE!!!  CHRISTMAS DAY IS HERE!!!  Well, in two days anyway.  But still, what an exciting time, eh?  Santa's gearing up for the big trip, but first he wants to freshen up.  And punish a not-so-considerate elf.  Enjoy...

*Shudder* Gee Santa, couldn't you have just given him a lump of coal instead?  Guess it's still better then letting Krampus get a hold of him!  This was another Daily Doodle theme, although I again can't remember what it was exactly.  It obviously involved elves though, and I think this may be one of my funniest!

Well, the big day is here!  I wanna wish you all a very Merry Christmas and hope that your day is safe, fun and spent with those you care about the most.  And there's still some time to help out one less fortunate than yourself, so do so while you can!  Anyway, take care, again Merry Christmas and I'll catch y'all next time!

WHEN SANTA'S AWAY, THE ELVES WILL PLAY!!!

OK, so Santa's actually out cold in this instance, but the same principle applies!  Anyway, hope everybody's having fun now that Hanukah has kicked off and Christmas draws near!  I swear all the best food holidays lie between Halloween and New Year's Day.  Is it any wonder we all make dieting a resolution come January 2nd!  With that said, it's now time to "Bounce" some art your way!  Enjoy…

Man, for a big dude, Santa's a lightweight!  You'd think he could hold his nog better?  Then again, his one night of work is pretty long.  If anyone has earned the right to have a few and then nap, it's jolly St. Nick!  Maybe next time though, he'll pass out in his room first.  Elves are quite mischievous after all!  This theme came from the Daily Doodle.  I can't exactly remember what the theme was, other than it involved Santa and his elves, and this was what I came up with!

And so ends another week of holiday fun.  We'll back this time next Wednesday with some new art that will break down the walls of comedy!  Until then, take care, donate to those in need this holiday and I'll catch y'all next time!
