You most likely have already got your 2023 calendar picked out. It may need beautiful panorama pictures or well-known paintings for every month. Throw it away. I’ve one thing higher: the US Military Corps of Engineers, Portland District 2023 cat calendar. Obtain and print it instantly.
The calendar has the same old anticipated options, with a month-to-month picture and dates under. Every picture exhibits a large 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 submit. July stars a cat sitting on the deck of a Corps of Engineeers ship. Commentary about dams, large cats and cat conduct accompanies the pictures.
The Corps of Engineers quietly launched the calendar late final yr, but it surely not too long ago 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. “No less than now we lastly have a New 12 months’s decision. Going to enroll in a Photoshop class,” the group wrote.
Us: *makes a cat calendar for individuals to get pleasure from*
Folks: “You guys suck at Photoshop.”

I’d argue that a lot of the appeal of the calendar could be misplaced if it have 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 personal giant-cat reality and do that once more for 2024.
