The calendar has been wrapped. The secrets and spoilers on the box are now hidden from my hungry eyes. And look at this year’s playmat! (Sorry for the blurry pic. I was too excited to stand still.)

Roads, runways, railways and a helicopter pad?

Gonna be a good month.

Robot Snowman assumed the H stood for Hero. And so he took the spot for himself. Let him have this.

Let’s discover today’s objet d’art!

It’s a man! With a sweater! And terrific hair! And a wrench!

Let’s name him Bo-Bo.

His lovely sweater depicts a dog wearing what I assume is a police hat.

So is Bo-Bo a cop? Or a cop enthusiast? Is…is this gonna get political? Oh dear God, no. [deep breath] I can’t handle any more politics. I can’t. I can’t do it! EVERYTHING MEANS SOMETHING! EVERYTHING IS WRONG! YES! NO! MASKS DEFUND THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE! COVID IS 9/11! HAN SOLO SHOT LAST! RED STATE! BLUE STATE! SUPERSPREADER! DID YOU SEE THE FLY ON MIKE PENCE’S HEAD!? FLATTEN THE NERVE! KNEEL FOR RUSSIA! GLUTEN-FREE VACCINES CAUSE MURDER HORNETS!

This year has broken my brain.

[thinks about jetpacks]

I’m okay. I’m good. You good? We’re good! Moving on.

The wrench accessory is interesting. There’s nothing about Bo-Bo that screams “MECHANIC!” so I can only assume he uses it to dismantle the patriarchy.

And as a bonus, this guy has two faces: one with glasses one without.

And he’s got Eugene Levy-caliber eyebrows.

There was an immediate fight for the Hero spot.

But then Bo-Bo and Robot Snowman traded hair, as is the custom.

And things are…okay. But I still sense tension between these two.

Day 2 Rating: 4 out of 5 (Points added for glorious puffy hair!)

See you tomorrow!
