Easter 2026

Easter

Today is Easter.  This year we feature a series of drawings by French artist David Gilson.  He has produced a series of slender books of drawings called Un Minet pour Matou, as well as additional drawings online.  They feature a man called Matou and his cat Minet.  You need to know that matou is French slang for tomcat, and minet means kitty or pussycat.

Above, Joyeuses Pâques means Happy Easter in French.  We see Matou dressed as an Easter bunny with a noticeable bulge.

Another Easter drawing, showing a bit of a rear view.

In this Easter drawing, Matou says "I see that you have found the eggs, my Minet."

Followed by: "Give me my eggs, my Minet."

Another Easter drawing, and the plot thickens.  Matou has a boyfriend, young Dr. Rouminet, a veterinarian.  You need to know that in French, roux means redhead (ginger), and in French slang, minet not only means kitty, it means twink.  So Rouminet, a redheaded twink, is another minet for Matou.

The drawing says "A bunny for Rouminet and a bunny for Matou".

In this Easter drawing, Rouminet is inside the huge bunny head, saying "I'm dying of heat down there," and Matou answers "My poor bunny."

This is a New Year's drawing, not Easter, but it shows us a bit more of Rouminet and Matou.

Matou is hairy, and Rouminet is into that.  We end with Rouminet and Matou making love.

Happy Easter!
