Tra La La, etc., with all ‘Your inner Rhino’s best wishes for a Fulfilling 2020.
(YIR Tip: Shredded greens make great confetti, plus it’s edible.)
New Year’s Eve is probably most meaningful to Critters who keep track of the Calendar. Rhinos are not much attuned to fretting with the particulars of Time, but We try to get into the Spirit of the Moment.
This thing on the wall is as much a calendar as anything else Rhinos notice. There is too much to preoccupy our minds to fuss with Numbers. After Three, that is.
Still, there’s a Festivity, so that grabs our attention! Break out the Confetti, and Rhinos are front and center!! Confettitators, from Way Back.
Mr. Elzie Crisler Segar, b. 1894 in Illinois, was a Cartoonist Extraordinaire. He was hired by the Hearst Company, where he started a successful strip called Thimble Theatre in 1919. In 1929 he introduced Popeye the Sailor, which was a big hit.
Though Mr. Segar died in 1938, Popeye went on in the hands of various writers and artists, eventually branching into film.
Rhinos like the funny papers, full of irrational behavior, and over-the-top characters. Also, We too like spinach.
Partway through our preparations for Halloween, We realized that today is probably the birthday (1451) of Christopher Columbus! He is known for finding America in 1492, right where you might expect him to. Still, it was a Big Deal.
“Congratulations”, says ‘Your Inner Rhino’, 568 years after the fact.
And now, back to the Trick-or-Treat Follies.
