Solstice 2022

deep in a dark trench in the ocean, a lantern fish yells "Happy solstice, everyone!" the others roll their eyes. the chambered nautilus says, "Oy veh, here we go again." the whiplash squid says, "so embarrassing" the hadal snailfish says, "She does this every 182 days." the dinnerplate jellyfish says, "What's a day?"

Equinox 2022

Rolling green hills, Stonehenge at sunset. Two druids are looking to one side at a tumbled pile of boulders. one says, "That? Oh, it's last year's calendar."

I miss the snow

A young woman in a white bikini lounges on a beach near a palm tree. the sun shines. she speaks on the cellphone: "Hi mom, sigh....I miss december in the northern hemisphere." Frame 2: mom, bundled in layers and an earflap wooly hat, hipdeep in snow, stops shoveling to take the call, and says, "there, there, you poor dear."

Green Dog Solstice 2020

Frame 1: Solstice goat, dressed in red and green holly and suspenders asks, “How will you celebrate solstice this year?” Frame 2: Sr. Banana, the Chihuahua, appears in a gold sun crown, a pot on his head, a painted gourd rattle in one hand and wooden spoons in the other, and a hand-woven aztec-themed outfit. He says, “honoring cultural traditions.” Frame 3: Bok Choi, the siamese cat, sitting on a fluffy rug in front of a fire, as snow falls outside the window, says, “meditation.” Frame 4: Squash, the English Sheepdog, sits at a table with a napkin around his neck, fork in hand. he says “a jelly roll,” and both Sr. Banana and Bok Choi suddenly appear saying, “ooh, can we have some?” (btw the jelly roll is vanilla cake, raspberry jelly, with chocolate glaze dribbling down the sides.)

Solstice Sacrifice


the edge of a caldera atop a volcano. deep in the pit bright red lava bubbles and steams. the sun is just rising. a woman in a white ceremonial dress, her arms tied behind her back, has just kicked a man, also in white ceremonial garb, into the crater. he falls screaming in fear towards the lava as the woman shouts, "you want a sacrifice? YOU make it!"
