Squids and yetis wouldn't seem to go together. And yet, if you are a giant squid, were you not at one point a cryptid?
In truth, yeti and squid are practically schoolmates. Both are hard to spot and have an air of myth about them. Both are thought to live alone, in the cold and the dark. Both may be quite large, super-strong, and could attack you with great violent force. Both hate whales and have suction cups on the interior surface of their arms.
Granted, the environments they reside in are very different phases of water. Sooo different. That alone makes things awkward between them. Let's hope they will get past that.

The artist Hylton Warburton is a lover of yeti and squid. In my view, this art piece is his way of expressing his appreciation of both. I'll be posting about his yeti-specific work in future.
Have a Happy Cephalopodmas!

Ack, that stuffed Yeti looks so awesome. When I retool the one I'm working on, I will take some of these design elements into consideration.
Happy Cephalopodmas, Henry! And a tentacular New Year!
