Sweater Weather
Is there anything better?
If you’re reading this, there’s a very good chance you are familiar with sweaters, and have maybe even worn one yourself. If you’re unfamiliar with sweaters, I highly recommend checking them out! You can find them at most clothing stores, and I think even on the world wide web. For more information about sweaters, I’ve compiled this collection of cartoons from my brilliant friends about them. So get cozy, take a calming breath, put on some Enya and enjoy :) :) :)

It’s an all ankles season this year children.
It’s baseball season … (right? TK Jason can you check this for me? I know you, as I do, know a lot about sports and the time of year they happen and which teams are currently sporting against each other.*) (*Editor’s Note: I think so? I tried checking and it seems like it’s sort of always baseball season? I don’t really know because my favorite sport growing up was drawing. Please sound off in the comments.) Ok, irregardless of the sport season that is currently occurring, here in California, is it surely sweater season. That’s because it is always sweater season after 6pm. Just like it’s always baseball season after lunch (Right? TK Jason pls fact check: they play baseball every day after lunch, yeah?*) (*Editor’s Note: That sounds right to me. Please sound off in the comments.)
Fact: If your family don't have a coat of arms, you can pay someone to make one for you.
Inspiration can strike anywhere. But for me it’s mostly from Winston:
