084: The Welcome Wagon

SNKFFFF. Smell that? That's the smell of a new page actually turned in on time. Granted, it ain't my best work, but I was just looking for something easy to draw so I can keep the words moving. (I do think the door-lifting sequence looks surprisingly good, though.)

In the news this week: I suddenly find myself swamped with Secret Santa drawing projects that I unwittingly signed up for. It's going to be especially difficult for me, since in less than two weeks my family is packing up and driving down to a ski resort in Virginia, where we plan to spend the holidays without having to worry about buying presents, baking cookies, and putting up our 38 metric tonnes of Christmas decorations. Instead we will be attempting to re-learn how to ski. Other kids may get bicycles and Laser Tag guns for Christmas, but we get snapped shinbones! Yaaaaay! (Kidding. Only kidding.)

OH IMPORTANT HOLIDAY GIFT ANNOUNCEMENT OH! Get your friends and family the perfect gift this Christmas (or, if you're Jewish, Hannukah; or, if you're African, Kwanzaa; or, if you're atheist, winter) and buy them the Dee-Luxe Lloyd Head Flaming Croutons Tee. Requested originally by my dad (who has good taste in such matters), it has Lloyd's floating, disembodied head with the snappy catch-phrase "Whatever." on the front, and the Flaming Croutons band logo featured on our regular shirt on the back. (That's right, TWO sides of printing! Catch your friends coming or going!) Comes in your choice of five, count 'em, five awesome colors! Supplies are limited, and pre-Xmas shopping time is running out, so order now.

Click here to see and possibly purchase the Dee-Luxe Lloyd Head Flaming Croutons Tee for yourself.

For the first time in a while, I didn't buy any CDs this week– so no reviews. I did, however, get one of them newfangled ComicSpace accounts. Keep in mind that this is totally, totally not like MySpace. At all. Shut up.

In conclusion… If they had a TV channel that played only this over and over and over again, I would pretty much watch it twenty-four hours a day.

Next week: We see what Walter's up to! Again!

Sincerely,

Ian Jay
