The Flying Reindeer

Santa’s Cloven Hooved Airborne Army

It’s that most wonderful time of the year again! Where presents rain from the sky like fire, the frozen night echos with “Ho’s” and oh how the nog flows! Which means one thing! It’s time to draw our holiday beast!

You know this years beast you love this years beast (unless you are pre foggy night rudolph) and now you get to draw em! Don’t be saddled with descriptions, they’re reindeer and they f*cking fly! How you ask? Cause they’re f*cking magical as hell… If you want em wing walking on a barnstorming biplane, do it! If you feel like doodling a full circus tent of freaking reindeer acrobats, well it’s the holidays, I have no right to stop you. Just put pencil to paper and make with the magic cause all of us are waiting to see what you got!

The First Place Flying Reindeer Entry

I know its not really an exclusive to Wisconsin thing but I’ve always liked to imagine that the giant rooftop fiberglass animal artists of that state just really enjoy their jobs… And now I like to imagine this is the image that fills those artist’s dreams

Judge’s Commentary – Three of may favorite things, over sized mythical animals in odd locales with smug faces of self satisfaction. Anatomical inaccuracies (note all four feet are on our side of plane) and of course, abundant and free flying holiday poop pellets!

“Merry whatever, all” – I love that he’s looking at me like he expects me to make fun of that cape… I mean it might make him look a lil n-eady, but I’ve certainly worn worse in my days and if you’re gonna wear a cape, I’m gonna suggest you just wear it for yourself anyways!

Judge’s Commentary – Cause seriously this guy is a dead ringer for Animal Chin era Steve Caballero, I mean down to the t shirt cape and everything! (for those who don’t know, he was a skateboarder, look it up!)

The Third Place Flying Reindeer Entry

You all know how fond I am of repeating themes! And if you didn’t well I am… and what we’ve got here looks to be my wife’s original Snawfus Paired with an eager alien, a tractor beam and what appears to be a bit of mistletoe peeking through that porthole… can a holiday evening of off planet smooching be too far away? Not when you can travel at light speed!

Judge’s Commentary – Cause I’ve always felt we need a few more recurring characters for folks to identify with… I mean who doesn’t love Snawfus? Dicks, that’s who!

So obviously an illustration of the instinctive fight or flight mechanism present in most creatures and even mythical beasts… And given that horror of green goo on santa’s giant mitts I’m saying the ol’ reindeer instincts were right!

Hey you know what they say! One man’s giant, Australian, holiday themed, war spider, is almost definitely another mans flying reindeer!

“Santa 1, you are clear for take off.” – I was gonna make a joke about his knee being the wrong way… but I mean maybe that’s what makes it easier for him to fly? I also like that the jet pak seems to have A Team van style detailing!

Yesss! If this were the case i would imagine Twas the Night Before Xmas would have a lot more words that rhyme with thwaap!

“Santa’s method of gift delivery has been greatly blown out of proportions over the years.” – I don’t know man… that looks a lil like chitty chitty bang bang… and if so… they could in fact be flying!

We come from the land of the ice and snow!!! Yessss… man sometimes I forget how good I am at this! ๐Ÿ˜‰

The Flying Reindeer Entry # 9

It’s funny with all the random ramshackle contraptions a draw-er will use to put a reindeer in the air this week… I think I’m most nervous for this guy… I mean maybe it’s his overconfidence at the flamethrower or maybe its the proximity of those horns to the giant balloon keeping him aloft.

“You just ate the most acid I’ve ever seen anybody eat in my life!”

Hahaha! that lil glowing pig nose! I also like that he looks a lil like his bones have quit!

So maybe I’m seeing it wrong… but is that reindeer running her over butt first?

Those are the much maligned “hoverboards” I assume? The jet tail is a nice touch! I like how long and lean this one is… built for speed… well or pole vaulting… or… well you get the point!

I mean this is pretty much the theory behind the ion thruster no? Every poop thrust outward into the abyss will multiply their speed by some ungodly integer and before you know it the whole world is crop dusted aaaand we’re all richer with presents!

I mean there’s a lot I love about this from the line quality in the peacefully napped santa to the highlights of the antlers blending into the overhead storage, but I think the best part is that it really feels like he’s looking out the window

I’m not quite sure I know what’s going on here but if santa wants us all to dance wildly and wear roller skates on our hands… I say we go for it!

So I’m trying to figure out what the dripping black mass is in the red nosed kid’s hand is? Is it as simple as another can of red bull? or is it a symbol of our black withering hearts as we evolve into mere cogs in the corporate oligarchy that… well you get the point… it’s freaking adorable regardless!!!

Lotta ways to go with this one from a real “fossil fuels” joke to something about a real fire in the belly and since i cant decide I’m going with that mostly I’m just pleased with how remarkably satisfied the reindeer is to have it happening inside him!

Hey sunglasses have worked for decades to deaden the expressions of cops and camels alike… why not an overly cool reindeer as well? And for some reason I’m greatly entertained that he’s Grinch green… it magically makes him festive and way less trustworthy all at the same time!
