Surf's Up, Elves
FOUND by J.C.
in USA
This strange little Post-It note was found in a middle school classroom. I wonder what inspired it (I found it long after the holidays).

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
someone got into their elf brothers stash
I have two cars that are that color.
Can't say much about the artwork, though..
I guess after Christmas is over, the elves go surfing.
Notice how the elf has no nose. How do the sunglasses stay on?
I remember leaving the noses off my drawings when I was a kid. It didn't seem like they needed noses, and they looked better that way, since noses in drawings like this just look awkward.
I'd like to see an all elf remake of those 1960's sand-n-surf movies with "Endless Summer" as the soundtrack, since the Beach Boys' upper register harmonies are already sufficiently elfin.
@ Clover,
they aren't sunglasses, they are goggles. their rubber strap keeps them on.
the reason I personally left noses off when I was a kid was, noses are hard to draw!
and even if a drawing looks slightly odd without a nose, they look much worse with a badly drawn one.
[p.s, I can't draw them any better today, but at least I've long since given up)
If I were to draw, it would look almost identical to this. That is why I do not draw.
The elf is wearing a sweet muscle shirt. Too bad it doesn't say "Bon Jovi" on it.
The first (erased) attempt looks like one of those fake shark fin hats. Not funny in the surf (or endlessly funny if you're into inspiring terror for fun, or if you're an elf).
I have a mate who surfs on Christmas day wearing reindeer antlers.
For noses, I always just drew a sort of capital L in the middle of the face.
Find reminds me of the old LA Gear ads of the 80s where Belinda Carlyle would go for a walk on the beach on Christmas Day and see Santa surfing..."It's my day off!"
Didn't the Beach Boys do a Christmas single about Surfin' Santa?
(Imagine if you will the BB and the BeeGees as they were, together. Falsetto heaven, or hell?)
see no elvin, hear no elvin, smell no elvin.
and as for the finder... jesus christ has come back as a middle school student in the usa. sheesh... you'd think being crucified was enough torture.
@ kwyncee: LOL. J.C. as a teenager. That could be a sitcom. He'd be on the swim team, of course.
@Clover: I know what you mean about noses, but what about ears? This elf is in serious need of some pointy ears.
he looks more alien than elfin to me. But maybe that's just the unearthly, dayglo postit coloring.
...the Christmas decorations are already coming out...
How long has Jesus been submitting finds?
Maybe he's a Keebler Elf. In which case, I'm happy to see that the Elvin Union Local #157 has renegotiated for more vacation time.
This is clearly a warning about global warming. Pretty soon, the elves are going to be surfing at the north pole during Christmas because of rising temperatures.
That elf has boooooobs.
@ L..funny. Very funny. Maybe all the finds have been submitted by Jesus, he just uses pseudonyms.
The Elves go surfing.
The Trolls go picking berries.
The Unicorns play ring-toss
and the Invisible Dragons sneak up on werewolves and scorch the fur off their backsides.
Ok This looks very familiar! I didn't draw it but it looks like someone else in my class did.
