Josh writes: It’s been another hilarious year and the Cartoons by Josh Calendar is just the way to remember throughout 2017.
There are two versions: a UK version (see left) which is printed and sold via the Cartoons by Josh website; and a US version which is printed in the US and available on WUWT.
You can order the UK version of the Calendar here
The US version – see below – will be available via Anthony, see details below.
Anthony adds: This year, the calendar also features some of the Cartoons that were posted in the hilarious book about Michael Mann, from Mark Steyn titled ‘A Disgrace to the Profession’, reviewed here, and available from Amazon here.
Here is a page from that calendar that shows the Cartoons done for Steyn’s book, in the lower left:
These make great Christmas gifts for yourself, your friends, or some of those special people like Mike Mann that need some cheer and enlightenment. Recall that Dr. Mann turned our simple gift into another conspiracy theory rant. No hard feelings, I’m happy to send him a new calendar once again this year.
This marks the fourth year that the calendar has been offered. we still have to chuckle over what Dr. Mann said the first year we offered it:
Here is the US version cover for this year, seen below:
Each calendar is $19.99 plus $5 shipping (plus $1.35 packaging and handling -total $6.35) plus tax for your state (sorry, can’t escape that one) and will be shipped direct to you.
Josh and I split the profit.

First Calendar I’ve bought in 20 years.
I think it will be well worth it to give to a ‘thinking’ millennium I know, who will share his opinion with other young adults on drinking Kool-Aid.
For Janice , : )
Thank you! How COOL to see someone else around this lonely thread!!!
Great gift idea. The “links to stories” that Josh refers to in tiny letters at the bottom right of each month’s cartoons will deepen the learning for your millenial, too. (1. Go to cartoonsbyjosh.com, then 2. click on red ink “Cartoons by Josh calendar,” then 3. in right margin, click on “2016 Calendar story links” which brings up this page: http://cartoonsbyjosh.co.uk/calendar-2016 )
For you, EJ. 🙂
I love that song.
I think you possibly meant bold>LOVE<bold.(wink) bold and all capital letters.
It is one of my all time favorites by Mathis.
Now those guys do a pretty good job in the yummy? department, pass the crackers!
If I could just get Josh Groban to sing it……..sigh..

10 days left to order a Josh calendar!
About 10:35AM, December 17, 1903, Orville Wright made the first powered, controlled, sustained, flight of a heavier-than-air machine. The flight lasted 12 seconds and covered 120 feet (37 meters). Orville and his brother Wilbur made three more flights that day, the longest of which covered 852 feet (260 meters) in 59 seconds.
With this telegram, sent from Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in the late afternoon of the same day, Orville informed their father of the achievement:
Success four flights this morning
all against twenty one mile wind
started from Level with engine power alone
average speed through air thirty one miles
longest 57 seconds
inform Press
home Christmas
And look at how far engineers have taken us!
“Hold on Tight to Your Dreams” (ELO – history of aviation)
Yet, what remained uppermost in Orville’s mind? Home.
Home for Christmas.
No place like home…

In it, the shepherds become “wandering hunters,” the 3 wise men (in a verse not included in the above recording) are “chiefs from far.” It is the same story, told so that the Huron could understand: Jesus was born for them, too.
