A requested caricature of a work colleague’s ol’ man for Father’s Day.
Yeah… in Australia, this day is celebrated in September… because we’re just darn “special”… click here for more useless info about that.
Things to know about this guy, which are evident in the final comp: he drives a John Deere tractor; harvests wheat; is always covered in a film of dirt after a hard days work; and loves ice cream.
And don’t let the title of this post fool you - this fellow has nothing to do with The Three Stooges… except for his nickname: “Curley”.
Reference images for “Curley”: honestly, I thought these were three separate people!
There's no succinct and confirmed reason as to why Father's Day in Australia is different from the US and UL, however, the common theory is that when the Australians decided to adopt it, they chose not to wait a year to celebrate. Instead, the day was simply inserted in later in the calendar, and in a similar season.
