# Season's Greetings Season's Greetings, also known as Season's Greason's, is a holiday-card edit of a gory illustration from Dougal Dixon's 1990 speculative evolution book Man After Man, where a yeti-like Tundra-Dweller is mauled by a smaller ape-descendant of humans. An anonymous editor added festive text to the carnage around 2007, and in 2020 Redditors corrupted the caption to Season's Greason's and opened a subreddit of the same name for Man After Man shitposting. ## Origin Dougal Dixon's Man After Man / An Anthropology of the Future was published in England on June 14, 1990, with illustrations by Philip Hood[2]. Page 57 depicts a Tundra-Dweller, cataloged in the book as homo glacis fabricatus, being attacked by a smaller monkey-like descendant of humans[2]. Who first added 'Season's Greetings' to the scene is unconfirmed. The earliest surviving upload is a December 22, 2007 post by user cookiecutter on the Ultimate Metal forum, carrying a Photobucket watermark that suggests even earlier offsite hosting[1]. - **Platform:** Ultimate Metal forum (earliest upload) / Reddit (viral spread) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2007 ## Overview Posts in this format place Philip Hood's original illustration above the words 'Season's Greetings' in cheerful script, so the contrast between the mauling and the holiday salutation does the comedic work[1]. The joke sits entirely on tone collision, since Hood's scene is a grim predation moment from a hard science-fiction art book, not a Christmas card[2]. Later variants mangle the caption into 'Season's Greason's' or substitute other illustrations from Man After Man, which catalogs engineered future humans including aquatic hominids and parasitic descendants[2]. The 2020 subreddit r/SeasonsGreasons collects these edits alongside wider Dixon shitposting, and the image recirculates each December as an in-group holiday card among fans of the book[3]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Season's Greetings?
