Almanac – Tuque

June 14th, 2012

Notice the cool knit caps that Blaise and Jassart are wearing? That style of hat is called a tuque, and it’s the subject of this week’s Almanac entry. In real life, these wonderfully warm and incredibly practical hats were used by the voyageurs to keep their heads roasty and toasty as they traveled the cold lake lands of Canada. They’re so good that we use them to this day, and they’re pretty much the official hat of Canada.

    Are the Almanac entries in any of the print books, or will they be at some point? I’m expecting them to be web-exclusive bonus content, but hope springs… something.

      The Almanac entries are not in any of the print books so far. Mostly because I’m continually adding to them. I’m toying around with the idea that when I get finished with the entire storyline (which is 16 chapters at the moment, but it might go to 20) to bind all the almanac entries into a book and sell it as “The World of Snow by Night.” Brittany also wants to do sketch books, as she’s done a lot of concept sketch work for Snow by Night.

        Just more reasons to watch for the store!

        Unless Otakon rolls around first of course, which will let me scratch my “must have”itch for a while.

          The store is in the works! Diane’s been crushed at work lately while I’ve been overwhelmed trying to get the prints finished for the summer convention season. But we’ll have it up in the near future.
