In the whimsical world of my Orthodox Christmas-themed cartoon, a scene unfolds in a snowy village reminiscent of Charles Schulz’s Peanuts, with a touch of Disney’s vibrant animation style. In the foreground, a small, jolly group of babushka-clad woodland creatures — a bear, a fox, and a rabbit — are gathered around a traditional, ornately decorated samovar. The samovar puffs out whimsical spirals of steam, hinting at a cozy tea brewing inside. Next to them, a stout, smiling priest with a beard as fluffy as the snow, adorned in a richly embroidered cassock, is playfully teaching a choir of cartoonishly exaggerated singing birds. The birds, inspired by Gary Larson’s The Far Side, are chirping their carols with exaggerated expressions of glee and oversized music sheets flapping in the wind.

Behind them, a picturesque wooden chapel with onion domes peeks out from between the snow-laden pine trees, a nod to the architectural style seen in Hergé’s Tintin adventures. Its windows glow warmly, hinting at the candle-lit interior. To one side, a scene unfolds where Astro Boy-style angels (from Osamu Tezuka) hover over a slightly crooked, but charming Christmas tree. The tree is adorned with colorful, oversized ornaments that seem to sparkle in the style of Winsor McCay’s magical, dreamlike aesthetics.

Scattered on the snow-dusted ground are a collection of quirky, vintage-style gifts wrapped in crumpled, textured paper with R. Crumb-inspired quirky doodles. Nearby, a child, reminiscent of Calvin from Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes, with an oversized hat and scarf, is building a snowman with an oversized carrot nose and pebbly eyes, giving it a distinctly spirited and almost sentient expression. In the sky, Art Spiegelman-esque swirling clouds part to reveal a pale winter sun casting a gentle glow over this vibrant tableau, encapsulating the joyous and communal spirit of an Orthodox Christmas.
