Ten Holidays · Ten Foxes

Every holiday listed for Monday, July 20th, 2026 (per checkiday.com), each rendered as an exact-style variant of the bar's logo — same reference-image pipeline as the Final Cup set: the three originals attached, one themed swap per variant.

Fox perched on a crescent moon tipping his hat
Moon Day — 57 years since Apollo 11. The fox takes the crescent seat.
Fox in a glass space helmet planting a fox flag
Space Exploration Day — feather pressed against the helmet glass, flag claimed.
Fox raising a knight over a chessboard on a barrel
International Chess Day — the knight, obviously. Sly opening.
Fox asleep standing up, leaning on his cane, nightcap on
Nap Day — asleep standing up, still holding the cane. Professional.
Fox cracking a giant fortune cookie
National Fortune Cookie Day — the fortune is long and he's grinning. Worrying.
Fox with a giant swirl lollipop over his shoulder
National Lollipop Day — swirl parasol, mid-lick.
Fox hugging two fox kits in tiny vests
Global Hug Your Kids Day — two kits in miniature vests. The dynasty.
Fox stepping out of a doghouse with flowers behind his back
National Get Out of the Doghouse Day — flowers behind the back, sheepish but sly.
Fox posing in a battered pickup with a first-place ribbon
Ugly Truck Contest Day — first place, and proud of every dent.
Fox leaping with joy, hat flying off
World Jump Day — hat airborne, dignity optional.

Outtakes — the spelling gremlin strikes again

Gemini nails the artist and fumbles the alphabet: this batch shipped "EXACTLY: FORTUNE COOKIE DAY" (the prompt's spelling instruction leaked into the image) and then misspelled LOLLIPOP two different ways across two repair attempts — LOLLIPPOP, then LOLLIIPOP. Both ended the way the versus card did: the deterministic Didot patch (now a reusable script, _didot_patch.py).

Outtake: EXACTLY: FORTUNE COOKIE DAY
"EXACTLY:" — instruction leak, verbatim.
Outtake: NATIONAL LOLLIPPOP DAY
"LOLLIPPOP" — attempt one.
Outtake: NATIONAL LOLLIIPOP DAY
"LOLLIIPOP" — the AI repair introduced a fresh typo. Python finished the job.
