"Can that tiny pamphlet really contain all of Mosaic law?" Bro.  Sure.

___

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. Following from the last two comics, Mary has to make a sacrifice as a new mother, according to Mosaic law (Leviticus 12:1-8).  As a poor family, she and Joseph can't afford the prescribed sacrifice of one yearling lamb and one turtledove, so they address their "Mosaic Law and You" brochure and see if there are substitute sacrifices they can use.  It turns out there are!  According to Leviticus 12, if they can't afford a lamb, they can sacrifice TWO turtledoves (or pigeons) instead of one.  "Two turtledoves" is one of the lyrics in the song, "The Twelve Days of Christmas," so in this cartoon, I add a list of other possible substitute sacrifices as if the song is an extension of the Leviticus law.  It is not.  I am a lying liar, who has lied. 2. "What's a french?" reflects the fact that Mary has no idea what "french" means.  Back in ye olde Bible dayes, France did not exist in its current form, as St. Joan of Arc hadn't yet slain the titan, Grumblebuff, whose head became England and whose body formed the rest of Europe.

A Wood-engraved Feathursday

MORE CHICKENS!!

One can never have enough chickens. Today's flock is from a wood engraving by Kentucky potter and engraver Gwen Heffner (1952-2021) entitled Three French Hens from the catalog of the Fourth Triennial Exhibition 2020-2022 of the American American wood engravers society, the Wood Engravers’ Network (WEN). We love how Heffner captures the goofy, maniacal look that chickens often have.

Gwen Heffner received her BA degree in printmaking and ceramics from Luther College in Iowa and her graduate degree in ceramics from the University of Louisville, and she maintained a pottery outside Irvine, Kentucky. Heffner worked as an artist for school systems in her state and had long associations with the Contemporary Artifacts Gallery and the Kentucky Artisan Center, both in Berea, Kentucky. Unfortunately, Heffner passed away before this catalog was printed. We are pleased to share her print with you.

On the third day of cinemagraph-mas, tumblr gave to me..

Three French Hens

Some quick research showed that the term "french hens" probably referred to Faverolles chickens

Maybe your true love knows you're trying to stock a game preserve, did you ever think of that?

The Twelve Days of Christmas.

Three French Hens by Will Bullas.

The three French Hens represent the three virtues Faith, Hope and Charity.

I was bored today and decided to do the math on how many birds are gifted in “12 days of Christmas”

If we assume that every chorus is counting only new gifts and not recounting any they received on the previous day (because I think that’s funnier) and if we use the gold rings theory that every gift is, in fact, a bird.

We come out to a total of:

364 BIRDS!

Which coincidentally is enough birds for every day except Christmas.

This tally also implies that your true love has also gifted you 12 separate pear trees.

And if you were curious, if we assume that we’re only getting one new gift type each day then it’s a total of 78 birds, which frankly is not as many as I would’ve thought.

On the Third Day of Christmas my True Love gave to me...

....Three French Hens, Two Turtle Doves and a Partridge in a Pear Tree!

The hens can be interpreted as Faith Hope and Love.

Three French hens are next in this year's PNC Christmas Price Index, which measures the average change in prices for the gifts mentioned in "The Twelve Days of Christmas." According to the CPI, "feeding hungry hens is no small – or cheap – chore. You’ll pay more for the French hens this year, primarily reflecting the price it costs to feed them." © Zara Picken 2022 www.zarapicken.com

The reason I’m alive today is because you taught me how to survive. I’m grateful for that. Maybe I could have lived a life where I inherited the organization. But spending time away from you showed me many more things. An annoying mother hen of a roommate. The taste of cheap Hamburg steak. The warmth that comes sleeping three to a bed. Taking care of a sick child. How to make French toast. An unexpected surprise party. A gold medal from a field day. The view from the top of a Ferris wheel. There were so many things out there that I could hold dear.
