Moon­al­ice poster by Car­olyn Ferris

Accord­ing to Moon­al­ice leg­end, today is the final day of the M-Lympics, the qua­dren­nial fes­ti­val that has run in the minds of mem­bers of our tribe for the past two weeks.  As mind games go, the M-Lympics has no peer.  It also includes the best of tra­di­tional Moon­al­ice sports, includ­ing smok­ing gym­nas­tics.  Today’s poster by Car­olyn Fer­ris depicts Jay Bog­art Moon­al­ice the 420th, who took gym­nas­tics gold for rings. Smoke rings.  Jay Bog­art the 420th is known as Drag­gin to dis­tin­guish him from his father, Puff.  His rings per­for­mance blew away the judges, as well as every other organ­ism in the imme­di­ate vicinity.
