"Sudden Onset Hibernation Syndrome"

Decades ago I did a cartoon about glacial surges from the freezer, based on real life examples and personal experiences of poor kitchen appliances. Fast-forward to today and I now know the science behind what the difference is between true hibernation and what is far more commonly experienced - torpor.

Once again I am reminded of how - aside from interpreting the hieroglyphics of primal doodles discovered upon waking in the morning - less can be more, and of the power of a single, simple line. These marks made on a sheet of paper that represent something, communicate an idea, are so immediate and expressive. This is also again a great illustration of how much refinement can occur between the initial doodle and the slightly more informed and rendered verion that goes into the omnipresent sketchbook.
