Late Edition Extra

Winter Festival Photo Preview

Feb 3, 2021

I took the opportunity today to go out and take some photos of the MTU Winter Carnival snow statues while the sun was out.

Tonight is the all-night finale for the builders of the month-long statues, and the race for the overnight statues started at 4 p.m. today, too.

The theme is “Our Favorite Cartoons for Snowy Afternoons”, so rather than caption each photo, I decided to put quotes from the characters pictured.

Have fun guessing who’s who! Ask a different generation if you need help.

“Do you happen to know what the penalty is for shooting a fricasseeing rabbit without a fricasseeing rabbit license?”

“When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change.”

“Remember, we’ve got to show these people we’re not bitter husks of human beings who long ago abandoned hope of finding love in this lifetime. Leela, you’re going to have to do some acting.”

“Wait! I’m having one of those things. You know, a headache, with pictures.”

“Remember, you’re the one who can fill the world with sunshine.”

No quotes on this one, but here’s a hint. In the foreground is a *triplane*.

That’s all for now! I have a handful more photos, and I may try to get some more tonight, if I can find the energy. Those will go in the normal Late Edition on Sunday.

If you haven’t taken a look at my Patreon page yet, please take a look.

It’s the only way I make any money working on Late Edition, and most days it is a lot of work, too.

As my Patreon income grows, I’m able to take fewer hours at my day job, and put more time into producing content. I’m also able to pay other writers and photographers for content (coming this month). I can’t do it without your support!
