After sunset. 2:30 p.m. 0°C, low tide, and no sea ice in sight. The ocean should be frozen over and I shouldn't be sweating in my parka.
Khal the German Shorthaired Pointer looks over Tarr Inlet, outside of Iqaluit, Nunavut. The land is snow covered and the tidal flats are muddy and filled with little puddles. A snowy hill lines the horizon where it meets open water. The colour tones of the image are dark brown, grey, light blue and white.

I'm respectful of everyone's rites of observance on this day. I don't wear poppies but I have in the past. I also think the virtue signalling and aggro behaviours around Remembrance Day are whack. I saw one of those "NO XMAS STUFF BEFORE NOV 11" loons post this today. Behold, the poppy tree.
A tree with a star that looks like a military unit flag (I couldn't identify it). The tree is adorned with poppies. It is meant to look like a sparkling tree full of poppies, a remembrance day poppy tree fashioned after an xmas tree.

Prompt: lesson
A black and white ink sketch of a teacher with horn rimmed glasses, pearl earrings, a polka dot dress and a perm. She is pointed at a blackboard that has the word "anaq" spelled out in both Inuktitut syllabics and in roman orthography. Under that it says "means hello!" Since you've read the alt text, the joke here is that anaq is not the Inuktitut word for hello. In fact, it means poop. People often tell newcomers that to make them say "Anaq!" to people for a joke. That is the lesson here, as prompted.

Prompt: skeletal
A black and white ink and pencil sketch of the cemetery in Apex, Nunavut where there is a arch created by the jawbones of the first Bowhead whale hunted by the local Inuit community in over 100 years. It commemorates that event that happened about 15 years ago. The arches overlook Tarr Inlet and mountains are behind. There are small ice floes in the water. There is a gravel pathway to the arches flanked by stone columns, posts and rocks. There is a metalwork gate with an aurora design.

Prompt: inferno
A black and white ink and pencil sketch of legendary Inuk superhero, Super Shamou. He is standing in the front of the picture pointing a finger up as he says "Bonfires can be fun, but this one is out of control, kids. This is a job for SUPER SHAMOU!" Shamou's costume is like Superman's but without the S. He is a balding man with a moustache. Behind him there is a towering fire of pallets burning. There are five youth around the fire. They are drinking alcohol. One has a jerry can. A couple are on the ground cuddling as the smoke rises high to the sky.

Prompt: rowdy
An eldery Qallunaat (white man) sits at his computer in a computer chair with his back to us. There are klick-klack noises as he types. On his computer screen it reads "Nunatsiaq News" which is the newspaper of the Eastern Arctic. The clock on the wall reads 2am. He is obviously trolling the comment section on the newspaper as he is well known for. A thought bubble near him reads "THAT'LL TEACH 'EM!" Another voice out of picture is yelling "PAUL! TIME FOR BED!" Paul is a grandaddy troll and likes to cause trouble in the comments section in our local newspapers and online forums. He is looking angry at his wife's word balloon. He has glasses, a beard and thinning grey hair in a pony tail.

Prompt: button
A black and white ink sketch of Sir Thomas Button, an "explorer" from the 1600s who landed on islands in Nunavut and named them the Button Islands after himself, in typical colonizer fashion. He is wearing the garb of the day, with a sword, makeup and puffy pantaloons. Around his neck is one of those weird collars that look like a stack of coffee filters. He has a long pointy moustache and hair like Shakespeare. He has nifty little peter pan style booties with nice buckles. Behind him are his ship in the sea. There is an officer at the bow, looking through a telescope. On shore there is an anchored boat and two people carrying a chest. Button is saying "AND WE SHALL CALL THESE LANDS, THE BUTTON ISLANDS. FOR I, SIR LORD BARON THOMAS BUTTON VON DER BUTTON HAM, DO DECREE!"

Prompt: blast
Black and white ink and pencil sketch of me from behind on a hill, looking over Federal Road in Iqaluit and across Kujjusi Inlet to the causeway. A large explosion is happening with a huge mushroom cloud that says "BOOM!" There is a large fuel tank nearby. There are a few houses and buildings along Federal Road. A truck and a car are driving by. I am wearing a crocheted "Pang hat", a northern staple and a flannel shirt. I am holding my cell phone horizontally and either taking a picture or video. A thought bubble reads "LOL. That wasn't even loud. 1/10" This is an inside joke as when we were starting to build the deep sea port here, there was a couple summers of dynamiting. I used to rate the explosions on twitter.

A black and white ink sketch in the style of Ken vs Ryu in Street Fighter. In this illustration Ryu is Rankin Inlet, Nunavut and Ken is Iqaluit, Nunavut. These communities have a healthy, friendly and historic rivalry. Ryu is saying "EVER!" and Ken is saying "NOT EVEN!" as they prepare to spar. Behind them is the Rankin Inlet Inuksuk and the Iqaluit Iglu Cathedral.

Prompt: arctic

Read alt text to avoid Arctic stereotypes.
A black and white ink sketch playing on stereotypes of the Arctic. A cuddly polar bear with a Santa hat on with its arms around a penguin and a seal. They are floating on an ice floe. The penguin is holding a bottle of coke. The seal is drunk off a bottle of Canadian Club whiskey. Stereotypes: there are no penguins in the Arctic. Coke is associated with cuddly and cute polar bears. Polar bears are the opposite and will hunt humans for food. The baby seal drunk off Canadian Club is a humorous play on the myth that all Canadians hunt seals by clubbing them.

Prompt: deal
A black and white ink sketch of a man pushing a grocery cart in a grocery store. A child is hanging off the front of the cart and pointing at a sign that says "HALF PRICE! FAKE MAYO". The sign has a matching sign at the other end that says "JOYCE'S CHOICE FAKE MAYO". The signs are attached to shelves filled with jars of mayo? This is an inside Iqaluit joke. A person named Joyce once complained about the garlic with potatoes from our local shawarma shop sucked because they were fries with fake mayo and thus a local meme was born.
