Edited to add: In a bizarre yet unintentional flirtation with newsworthiness, I posted this (yesterday) 40 years to the day that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid came out! You know, they used the “Raindrops” song? Anyone? Okay, it’s a stretch.
“But that doesn’t mean my eyes will soon be turning red…”
Hey, didja know I design wine labels?
Well, I designed this one, anyway. Spoiler Alert: This wine does not actually exist.
Recently I heard some wine experts on Fresh Air talking about how all wine with animals on the label should be avoided, as they are uniformly bad. Way to kill the buzz, guys. I’m certainly no stranger to Yellowtail (in case you’re curious, an excerpt from my tasting notes on their Shiraz: “Aggressively jammy”*) and its brethren, so it inspired me to put this one together. Originally I was going to depict the koala riding a bicycle (which seems to be another wine label cutesy-pants favorite) but, ugh. Bicycles are pains in the butt to draw. And who wouldn’t want to stare at this festive fellow while drowning their sorrows celebrating the season?
*I don’t actually have Yellowtail tasting notes. Just to be clear.
I’ll only be posting through Tuesday next week, due to this Christmas situation. Check back in Monday for the Thing of the (Abbreviated) Week!
Who’s ready for HAPPY HOUR? This guy is.
See you tomorrow for more Turning of the Worm!
And the week of bears go on…and on. This one’s making her voice heard on Everyone’s Favorite Social Networking Site.
Crossing the street….
..livin’ the dream.
(I don’t know what that means, either, but he looks pretty stoked, no?)
I’m posting a new comic later today! Stay TOONED! (geddit? haw haw haw)
