Re: Christmas and otherwise.
A belated Merry Xmas to all our friends on the wrong side of the world. 
(Darn it. Missed it by six lousy minutes)

Belated Greetingses
..AWOL for a while, but... belated Christmas/other greetings, not to mention 'Happy Boxing Day' and a faint attempt to get in first with the inevitable 'Happy New Year'...

Without putting to much of a dampner on things,the Happy New Year thing has always been a mystery to me.After all the new year is rarely any different than the one before and unfortunatly with alarming freqency worse.

Re: Christmas and otherwise.
Hope everyone had a happy Christmas. If I see another Chocolate I will vomit.
I quite like Humbugs (like everton mints aren't they?).
Oh and I finally got Loeg Vol 2 HB yay! So now I can understand all the claptrap everyone's been talking about for the last year... I have nothing new to say on the matter.... except it's not as good as the first, quite quite rude and the Hyde Griffin 'thing', well... not as disturbing as I would imagine it, infact it was unpleasantly amusing  . 'Chipper' hmmm.
Well God Bless.
Oh, and Merry New Year!

...unlike the rest of them?!
My personal oddity is 'Happy Birthday'.
What's that all about?!
Seems rather too much like 'Congratulations for not dying' to me..
(at best surely you should congratulate the parents if the greeting is tied to the day...?!)

Bah!  
Every year is slightly different.. well, every day is slightly different (although often similar..), but... well! Pessimism is often best ['Things can only get better'], but... well. Gratned, this has been a good year - and a particularly fantastic christmas - but, well... fingers crossed.

I think so... but I've still yet to track down an Enid-Blyton-Olde-Worlde Bullseye yet, which is quite a shame... Anyone shed any light on what they are, please?!

Good work. As people have been saying, it's different in tone, certainly.. and better the second/third/thirty-second time through.. Characters rather than themes, and like you say, exceptional writing/art to convey the humour in the dark moments, the darkness of the humourous moments/characters, the pain in the happy times, and the... well, reality of the fiction. ...kind of.
I know what I mean..!
