Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter: See Four Seasonal Google Doodle GIFs from Eleanor Davis

If you saw Sunday’s adorable Google Doodle GIF celebrating the first day of winter, you might have thought the Doodle’s colorful, playful style seemed familiar. That’s because this is the fourth of cartoonist Eleanor Davis’ series of Doodles celebrating the four seasons, which ran throughout 2014. (The summer Doodle didn’t run in the Northern Hemisphere.) Davis shared all four with us:

Davis sent us a bunch of her sketches for the Doodle. “Google I had so many good ideas for you,” she tweeted. “They did not go for any of my ideas where the OOs were tits.”

It really seems like the process was completely fun:
