You most likely already picked out your 2023 calendar. It would function serene panorama photographs or well-known books. I’ve one thing higher: the US Military Corps of Engineers, Portland District 2023 cat calendar.
Obtain and print it proper now.
The calendar has the standard anticipated options, with a month-to-month picture and dates beneath. Every picture reveals an enormous cat lounging on or attacking gear or a key piece of infrastructure. January kicks off with a tabby utilizing the Hills Creek Reservoir dam in Oregon as a scratching put up. July stars a cat sitting on the deck of a Corps of Engineeers ship. Commentary about dams, big cats and cat conduct accompanies the photographs.
The Corps of Engineers quietly launched the calendar late final yr, nevertheless it just lately got here to the general public’s wider consideration. The Portland District tweeted about it final week, with a tongue-in-cheek response to criticism of the “poorly Photoshopped” calendar. “Not less than now we lastly have a New Yr’s decision. Going to enroll in a Photoshop class,” the group wrote.

I’d argue that a lot of the appeal of the calendar can be misplaced if it had been a slick manufacturing. The wonky proportions, funky edges, goofy font, foolish writing and random typesetting mark it as a labor of affection and pleasure. Please, Corps of Engineers one that made this, do not take that Photoshop class. Dwell your individual giant-cat reality and do that once more for 2024.
