Yes! I do it often, revise things from the past. It's a conversation. I didn't know Billy Collins said that about poetry, that's fascinating.

Things Snowpeople Think would make a great picture book for winter days when grandfather has to entertain the 3 year old.

Too bad a certain orange man isn't melting. (Oh, Allia, that's not nice.)

Things I fail to think about: e.g., what snow-people are thinking. If you accept the premise (that they ARE thinking) it's actually a fine topic to consider. Which I have never done before. And I have only a few minutes to think about it now. But here goes: It's rare to see a snow person with feet. Do they envy us and wish they could get around on their own, too? To they have ice cream freezes in their heads? Do they wonder where they came from, and why? Do they like birds? Do they wish they had better (or at least more) clothes to wear? Are they attracted to their own kind - are they pan-nonsexual? What would they think about a tanning bed?

Chuck, these are questions that are the reason why it is so fun to draw about them! I have covered many of these areas in drawings about snow people. You are very funny.

I think of myself more as wise-ass than funny. But thank you. It means a lot coming from a genuinely funny person.

I’ll let you stick to the snow pics, I’m not a fan. Your lawyer one is great. You’re still on Cali time!😎

I love your snow people and captions! And I don't understand why the NewYorker didn't take the sandbox one :-)

These are great! Snow is a soothing fun and joyous thing even if it mucks up our day to day .. So yea I guess it’s good to look at those little pieces of light it can create even though it is a fierce force pain in the ass at times. ❄️ Right, when you get lemon you gotta make lemonade ! TY L for alway sharing and showing your creativity - now get some rest!
