Where is Winter? Does she not know that December is over and Jack has made but two brief appearances? Both visits were in December laaaast year, but the sun shone and sent Jack and his sparkling diamond Jacket packing. The Snow Queen keep her own council.
Fortunately, there were some barges on and off the canal, and thus Jack's brief visits were recorded in 24 button-clicks.
It's Jack, what more is there to say? He was in town, and now he ain't. I know shit!
"Oh he'll be back", proclaims the Queen with a wink, applying icy makeup in her boudoir, "don't you fret!"
Jack-in-the-Woods
Spike-like is his jacket, twinkling diamonds in the sun. The Queen yawns lazily, knowing she won't have to get out of bed just yet. Winter's claws however, flex in anticipation as Jack glides through the leafy undergrowth.
A touch of the Sun?
The world will be Made Great Again, my son, crisp and free as these jacked-up autumn leaves...but it will not be by your manner of means, O'centralised sonny boy-on-the-bin!
'Icy' Canal-Jack
Raven may appear to choose silence, but this is mere illusion as interpreted in the 3-D humanosphere and he wishes to say a few words here. Shy at first, once he gets started it all makes sense, and his sense of direction is impeccable. Here's what he has to say: "Hey Edgar Scardy-Poo, thanks for the Shadow. But I forgive you, and you will find a way back to the beautiful L, Evermore!"
PS dear Humanz, if you look carefully, you'll see that the sun is kinda shining outa my ass....right or wot?
No-Bite left Jack?
I think not, for there is evidence below of his icy jacket turning into vapour before our very eyes. Besides, the eSTEEMed leader of the B&W Quack family would like to make some inroads into newly opened waterways. The excitable gulls are claiming all the bread in an uncouth splashy free-for-all. Ducks have manners don't you know? A delighted barge has discovery printed on his jacket as he sits in the bathtub, refllecting the day's events as they unfold in timeless magicreality.
