FFF Results Post #247—The Five Seasons

On Friday, CR readers were asked to "Imagine You Live In A World Where Seasonal Change Is Defined By The Visual Nature Of Reality Assuming A Different Cartoonist/Comic Artist's Style. Name Five Artists. Assign One Of Four To Each Season, And Assign A Fifth To A Strange, Off-Kilter Unseasonal Period That Rolls Around Once Every Several Years Unexpectedly." This is how they responded.
