An Ashley and Daria Christmas

First published December 12, 2010.

KB: This is our final Ashley and Daria comic. I think it's a pretty good one. The "Isn't Baby, It's Cold Outside creepy" thing has been done to death, but in 2010 it was a less well worn trope.

GB: That's my friend Rob as KJ (last seen as the cameraman in "Makeover"), which was his real profession in downtown Portland for many years. Also appearing are our friend Shauna (singing the Pretenders) and Rob's wife Erin, who is plugging her ears during the group belting-out of "Christmas Wrapping," which I'd say is my own favorite XMas song (non-Spector and non-Motown division).

We didn't usually do mood pieces like this, but it nicely captures something about camaraderie in a mostly-empty group space on an otherwise lonely holiday. And it's just fun to see Ashley and Daria hanging out. I'd become fond of them.
