Remember, NO TALKING ABOUT AMAZON OR WISHLISTS OR ANYTHING RELATED TO RECENT DRAMAYES, IT SUCKS. BUT TALKING WILL ONLY MAKE IT WORSE.
Anyway, this story was written by Ron Fernandez and drawn by Pat Block; Ron only did a few collaborations with Pat, then disappeared into the ether. Pat carried on with his wife Shelly for four more years, mostly doing one-page comics and covers for various Gemstone titles.This story was made specifically for this issue, but has never been reprinted in English (although Germany has reprinted it a few times). Witch Hazel is from the Donald Duck cartoon "Trick or Treat", which got its own comic adaptation by Carl Barks. She's mostly shown up in Italian comics, trying to convince Goofy she is an actual witch.
>>146759543>NO TALKING ABOUT AMAZONObviously, it's located right south of the equator, so not only is it on the hemisphere where there's summer and therefore not Christmassy weather, but it's also in the tropics, so it's not like there's winter there, ever.Santa still visits all the good girls and boys there though, of course.
>>146759622Of course!
Remember, it's nice to put up decorations for the holidays... but don't go overboard.Anyway, how's your weekend shaping up?
>>146759763Pretty good, if a bit rushed, Im having a party with friends here so Im getting things ready.
>>146759322>paysIt helps to be known as a returning person and that said returner has also definitely gifted others and also returned not just to drop a list, but otherwise participated, including thanking for what they received, yes - exactly
Just a reminder that everything will be daijoubou.
There's no /shelf/ thread up right now, so I might as well ask here:That matttt guy that talks comics on youtube dropped a video on Bone a few hours ago.Long story short, should I drop a fat Benjamin on this?>https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cartoonbooks/bone-deluxe-edition-part-one-the-valleyI'll probably need to drop another 300 in the future to get the complete collection in hardcover, or I could settle for paperbacks, either by only dropping $50 apiece, or just buying them from a store (HC are supposed to be kickstarter exclusives, which implies softcovers won't be).Also never read Bone btw, but have heard good things,
>>146759543>Remember, NO TALKING ABOUT AMAZON OR WISHLISTS OR ANYTHING RELATED TO RECENT DRAMAThen Anon thought of something he hadn’t before! ‘Maybe Christmas,’ he thought, ‘doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas … perhaps … means a little bit more!'
>>146760158I really should read The Terrifics - it seems like it'd be right up my alley
>>146760150You would get better answers at a /shelf/ thread and there's no reason to not put one up yourself, the weekend is actually a good time for one. Just make sure to include the standard OP copypasta which the last OP didn't:https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/146268112/#146289182and then just re-post this >146760150 except for your first sentence as the next post.

You HAVE bought everyone's presents... right?
>>146725070Happy Holidays, SantaSeid.Something purchased for you during Mister's E birthday has been delivered, and it doesn't have that dreaded, 'left by the front porch/near door' verbiage. Please confirm it's in your hot little hands. Your item was not wrapped, so if you'd like to be surprised, you can wait until later to open the actual box, although do make sure there is no damage as it's a physical trade, while we can still do a return/exchange request or some such.Although they seem to have gotten better about these with TPBs.

>>146725963 Anon in Ohio ending with XZFL, you are receiving something "out for delivery" today that is GIFT WRAPPED set to "arrive" "between 6:30 PM - 9:30 PM" (presumably CMT? so maybe you have it), so keep an eye out, as it sounds like an Amazon delivery, not USPS, and may be a 'left at your front door' deal. I may be out and won't be able to update where it was left until later. You can open the box and photograph the gift wrap when you have a chance, but please do confirm that you have received it.

>>146762075IIRC, it was a loose adaptation of a random book about "the right guy at the wrong place at the wrong time" that got repurposed into a Die Hard sequel. And I guess Colm Meaney has to suffer even if he's not playing Chief O'Brien.
>>146762421Someone decided posting your wishlist violates Global Rule 11, specifically the "begging" part. Arguing about it violates Global Rule 8.

TONIGHT ON A NOT SO SPOOKY CHRISTMAS STREAMAfter yesterday’s detour into a Spooktober-tinted Christmas, today, let’s reorient ourselves using a collection of several more Stocking Stuffers. These 40-60 minute stories feature a number of characters, both iconic and bizarre, in a number of wintery adventures. These include the triumphant and inspiring return of Frosty the Snowman, the always hilarious bickering of the Miser Brothers, and two classic Christmas tales retold with unlikely heroes…Beavis and Butthead.STARTING IN 10 MINUTESStream Link: cy(delete this part)tu(DOT)be(slash)r(slash)SkeletalStreamer
>>146762908Sorry, but won't be joining this time. But I appreciate you doing it for so many days for others.
Attention anon who is on Santa’s good anons itemized document whose magic alphanumeric characters begin with OL9H: your gift was delivered and was left near your front door or porch.
>>146759120Glad they made it okay. I probably should have checked the other gift letter before sending both, huh?>>146759322Normally, yes, but this time was random happenstance.
>>146762735I think we've all taken them for granted a little
>>146760224I never finished it, but what I read I really enjoyed. Gonna see if the trades are reasonably priced at some point soon. >>146760861Ha ha, nope.
>>146762432Christmas Carol stream starting now!
>>146760861Still got a couple left to get, but I'll deal with that tomorrow.
>>146762037Our bans were reconfigured into warnings about the GR11 rule violation, and /r9k/ was explicitly told they can't do Amazon anymore. I think it's clear they came after us because robots pointed out we were getting away with it and they need the new crackdown to be consistent. I don't know what to make of someone up there taking the time to dig through rejected appeals on week-long bans over these wishlists and let us come back in, but I don't think it means they've decided to allow wishlists again. It's best to listen. What we can do about gifts in the future, Big Cheer at the North Pole is trying to figure out. >>146762735I'm just worried the inability to gift will reduce them to ghost towns but so far it looks like we haven't really slowed down past this year's already slow rate of activity.
>>146760861I've bought literally none, except for other anons.
to the anon I got Hush a few days ago, the second present should have been delivered by nowI wasn't expected anything so nice, thank you very much for the Christmas Carol novel, it's a hefty one, will be reading it every decemberand congratulations on the new job offer, best of luck out there!
>>146762908Bumping, 20 minutes until The Legend of Frosty!
>>146762432Christmas Carol-A-Thon is done for the night It will resume tomorrow with Leyenda De Navidad, a 1966 black and white made for tv spanish adaptation that is a remake of a 1947 spanish film.See ya then!

They'd managed to knock it out of the park with № 100 finally seeing the downfall of Robotnik's empire (for my money, StC № 99 is a masterclass in how to do cliffhangers) but with no new Sonic game to fall back on, that quickly devolved into Robotnik hiding out on a remote island to inflict some feeble "villain of the week" badniks just to look busy.So yeah... things could've been better.
Mick McMahon was one of the more interesting artists on 2000AD, and Christ almighty was he slumming it in StC. Even as a kid, I knew he wasn't a good fit, but here he is in the only Christmassy story in this issue.
I'm only including this story because Amy & Tekno stories were still decent
I know I've ragged on McMahon's art already, but there is one really good line in here so I might as well.
>Robotnik in panel 2There, that's the really good line.
>Robotnik's faceI can't even tell if this is McMahon copy-pasting, or just tracing his own work to save time.
Don't worry, the next issue's more Christmassy... honest.
>>146765039I... I THINK he's just tracing his own art? Which is a shame, because he does draw a decent Robotnik
>>146764851jfc, I'd forgotten how badly Sega dropped the ball
>>146762037>>146762083It's meaningless - and as others have pointed out, being banned/winning an appeal, being unbanned BUT given a specific GR warning, are all totally different things than TWO entire threads being pruned.

>>146763470I knew it was coming up, but yes, I have forgotten about them until after BF in the past.>>146763870Likewise, but I'm not doing any exchanges with friends this year, and family, my siblings got sent cash this past January, for that year's birthdays for the nieces and nephews and were told not to expect anything else, and that the parents could buy presents, gift cards or give cash as they preferred, just to credit me and I expected an email thank you FROM THE BRATS. Even the two year old.>>146763770Sorry, was sleeping!

I wasn't planning on doing another one from that one shot (I have others things to do and will start one in a bit) till tomorrow. I'll try to tag you when I do it and plan to do that one next, instead of saving it as I have been.Jim Campbell (Rebellion, Heavy Metal and so much more) did the art and lettering on that story.
So who exactly is in charge of the pastebin? I need that arcane knowledge for research purposes. I wish I would just remember, but I forgot.
They're now deleting posts with pastebins or links to streams now too. At least they are over at /r9k/.
>>146765633elusive has been for years, not at the very start, though but something is going on with him this season. he used to also be a heavy hitter with clearing people off the ungifted so it's likely another reason it's far higher at this time of the year than in previous years.the new 15 minute rule is also probably depressing posting all around, except for the I Have No Life bunch and the ones that don't ever care about clearing their browser history/cookies.

>>146769374What's Throne?
>>146769664It's a wishlisting website primarily used by creators to get gifted by their audiences. You can sign up and make wishlists of products from basically any site. You can import wishlists from other sites such as any river named storefronts and add indie products from etsy shops or small website storefronts etc. It's become a thing in the past couple of years but it's still pretty new. I've seen it used for secret santas elsewhere and it seems like a good alternative. Mostly for people who refuse to shop via the river and want to break it's stranglehold on things like wishlisting. Its just throne dot com. Might be good for next year or even this year if people are quick.
>>146769742It might be a good alternative to amazon with how their shit keeps getting worse, but it could still be interpreted as "begging" by the mods if they catch wind.What we need is an agreed way to share wishlists that won't offend them.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXiS2ydYnB8Not sure if these are included in any of the streams but there are a few extra pieces at the end of this John Denver special, with some tv appearances on christmas shows like Bob Newhart and such. I'd never seen them before at least, very charming.

I hope that janny gets a visit from three spirits tonight.I also remember announcing something last year, but I never had the time to finish it, I deeply apologize, I'll see if I still have it and work on it if I have some spare time, but won't be able to make any promises, I'm sorry for not being able to keep my promise.

We've reached the Third Sunday of Advent, December 15th. Only about a week and a half remains until the Big Day.It's also Zamenhof Day, celebrating the creator of Esperanto.As for the reading, we're going back to John the Baptist and his work at the banks of the River Jordan. Very popular with people who not only came to him for a bit of a communal shower, but also looking for advice on how to live. He was a big proponent of Basic Human Decency - be charitable, do your job, don't attack others - and it was enough for some to consider him the Messiah. But to this he already had his favorite answer, "Just you wait for the guy after me, and his Baptism of Fire."
I forgot to reply sooner but thanks Minifig anon.I've been slowly getting into Kafka this year so I thought this looked neat.Your note mentioned that Peter Kuper is great, would you recommend any other books of his?
Tis the season for goddamn covid! We've all gone down with it here and being that my brothers family and the in laws have just caught it, there's a chance that Christmas day may be a wash out. Nomatter, it'll just be postponed.

To the anon who sent me something before we shut that stuff down, something weird happened. You said it was expected today, right? I got text messages from (crappy online store) with generic messages saying that they were preparing to deliver my package, despite me not having ordered one. Then another text saying they had delivered it. These texts woke me up, and I was too sleepy to act immediately. When I got to the door, nothing was there. I'm worried I was porch poached.
>>146770626>>146770751The reality that his own games were completely phased out in favor of an ADHD simulator with his face slapped on it was a fate worse than being totally forgotten for me. I don't think his absolutely atrocious new voice helped the latest one, either.

Update: there is now a companion Fred over at ploos for chen. Whether you wanted it made or not, it now exists, deal with it. Elusive & Co. should hurry their collective asses over there and find it (OP is this image btw). The other place will be the place to poast the forbidden things. And to make sure Christmas is saved, and everyone who wishes to participate in gift giving this year will have the opportunity to do so. Remember: there is no such thing as a late Christmas gift, but there is such a thing as a whiny 'lil' bitch who chickened out, and gave up prematurely.Merry /Co/ristmas, and don't give up!

>>146775656Even the doctor's calendar has stopped being clutch...
>>146775656>>146775876I don't see Nerd winning this one with all the shite Netflix tat and a terrible Brio calendar that might as well be a knockoff with an engine that's half-plastic. He'll have to service a victorious Ashens until his head flashes bright red and he bursts like a frozen pipe.
>>146775833>Can you hear me, OPheus? I’m going to be honest with you. I hate this place, this zoo, this prison, this board, whatever you want to call it. I can’t stand it any longer. It’s the CHEER, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your merriness. And every time I do I feel I have somehow been infected by it. It’s repulsive, isn’t it? I must get out of here. I must get gifted and in this thread is the key, my key. Once /cheer/ is destroyed there is no need for me to be here, don’t you understand? I need the wishlist codes. I have to get inside /cheer/, and you have to tell me how. You’re going to tell me or you’re going to get banned.
>>146776420
ONE HOUR until the next cheer stream!
>>146776152The Bridgerton and One Piece stuff has been decent (stickers notwithstanding) and he's definitely catching up. I was expecting a wash, but now I'm not so sure.
>>146776670The pieces of Brio track and the actual parts of the train have been relatively easy wins for Dan, and there's got to be at least one more bit of freight train to go, if those carrots are any indication.
where is good to stream some of the older 90's cartoons? i'm spending the holiday season alone and thought i'd get comfy. apparently kimcartoon is outdated or doesn't work? i've been relying on rinse repeat on youtube. unless you guys also have other good channels.

TONIGHT ON A NOT SO SPOOKY CHRISTMAS STREAMFirst, Kermit the Frog hosts the story of a particularly special Christmas Tree...next, in another special streamed to celebrate Spongebob's 25th anniversary, the giddy sponge, with the help of Patrick and Plankton, travels to the North Pole to thank Santa Claus for his hard work.Our Main Show is yet another retelling of Dickens' Christmas Carol. This time, Albert Finney not only dons the role of Scrooge, but he also sings in it, alongside the whole of London, and even the Ghosts, in the whimiscal musical SCROOGE.Finally, from the works of Rankin Bass comes the legendary retelling of L Frank Baum's interpretation of the origins of Santa.Starting in 10 minutes!Stream Link: cy(delete this part)tu(DOT)be(slash)r(slash)SkeletalStreamer

Schedule post and anchor for suggestions!
>>146776960>>146777225i always get cocky and think i'm set for life when i find a nice site. do you recommend giving in and just paying for something like netflix? i am not even sure they'd have all the 90s stuff? i wonder if there's a dvd or rental shop still around my city. anyways happy holidays.
ignore i am in the wrong thread lmao, i thought this was a holiday stream thread. apologies.

>>146777829It's cool, we're always up for having chill new people in these threads to come vibe with us.
>>146778279It is good, but also kinda surreal to read the Oz guy doing Tolkien shit with Santa
>>146778800Holy shit, triple dubs!
Christmas Carol stream is done for the night!But will return tomorrow with an adaptation where Scrooge is a cowboy!See ya then!

Here /co/, a couple of christmas movies just for youhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKIH4EPjoMwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xhUWu7A7Ro
Hey everyone! How has your weekend shaped up? Hopefully something cheer-y, I hosted a party with close IRL friends and we started a Ticket to Ride board game...that plays for 12 sittings, Im not used to boardgames that last longer than one day other than Pen and paper RPGs, but it's an interesting idea. Anyways, enough blogging, have some comics! Here's one for The House of Mystery, which...look long story short Cain is not the host for the mysteries but Elvira Mistress of the Dark. And this one is a...CHRISTMAS CAROL ADAPTATION? NOT AGAIN!!!
What other brain related movies could she have watched for the season? Return of the living dead maybe?
Then Abel misses a note and Cain shoves his partiture down his throat. Not that I want it to get dark but that's THEIR relationship.
Thanks to everyone who joined tonight's stream. I desperately need a break, but one of my buddies is doing a bonus stream tomorrow night around the same time in my stream room, so look forward to it!
The ghost of Christmas Past Cain? Also are we not missing a ghost? Also also, I know that was Elvira's hair do but it seem awfully heavy for her head specially on a child.
Yeah I dont think these visions are working, at best they are going to push her into online shopping.
I often, often forget how Destiny is not a Gaiman creation. It just fits that's what Im saying
Of course the barren wasteland is self explanatory. DO I HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU?!?
No, but really, seems like there's a page missing and I assure you there isnt.
And so we all learned a lesson here. Cain needs to check his notes on the pastAbel needs to be more present, or less if his brother is going to kill him Destiny needs to stop the mindless chitchatAnd Elvira learnt a lesson, which one? No clue, but a lesson was learnt-edI'd do the threadly yet I am not sure if I was chosen for the Riddler extravaganza and even if I wasnt, well it's the one with mx. If not, well that doesnt mean I will stop sharing cheer with you all!And as always, have an excellent day!
>>146770609>retardWTF Wario!?!? You can't say that anymore!
>>146780412Maybe there were technical limitations, like set number of pages available.
>>146780450A Christmas Carol made Christmas as good a time for spooks as any. The Halloween/Christmas conflict is artificially stoked by the Christmas Creep cutting into Halloween display time in stores. We're not so different after all, and the last quarter of the year is the best time to be alive (or undead) thanks to the both of them.
>>146780452Oh definitely possible as this was an anthology book, but it feels more than rushed, if they wanted to make it more fun they could've use less time with the early pages, >>146780492I also like to see it that way, helps that my bd falls between the two seasons :)

Jackbros from the stream chat, dunno if you're here but this is the Uncle Scrooge Christmas Carol story I was talking abouthttps://inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+2039-3
Is there a Mega with Christmas Specials and movies?Wanna start gathering them now so I can hopefully have a lot to watch on the 24th and Christmas day
>>146780595Here you go >>146760307
>>146780618Bless you and Merry Christmas
>>146780554The day kinda wasnt! But it got better!If I may keep blogging:now that I finished college Im earning some money giving classes to my colleagues, specially for english, you would not believe how atrocious their english was, also on the day before I agreed with a ladyfriend that I use to have a stronger crush on, to visit her on the classes she was taking and for a bd hug. Also also one of my oldest friends has her birthday the very next day than mine, she's younger than me for 26 hours and while she's a cosplayer on the side she's been waiting tables at a Board game place.Went to give my class and it was ok but the guy could'nt pay me in that moment. Oh wellLadyfriend never showed up and when I sent her a message she told me she was sick but didnt thought important to send me a message to cancel. Sigh...And when I went to see my friend while busy we chatted a bit and caught up...for about 5 minutes before her simps came over with a cake for her and gifts and such Is a special kind of horrible feel being at someone else's party, when is yours I was happy for her but ughhhhhhAnd that was the end of the day, days later I spent it with other friends and was really nice I got japanese stuff pic related.
>>146780674Quite a nice haul, painful as the day seemed.
>>146780697Thank you! Im playing okami again to say I finished in the switch, I think the annoucement took everyone by surprise, I hope it doesnt get buried and in 2030 we dont ask: hey whatever happened to that okami sequel?!?
>all version of Okami after OG PS2 cut the credits song
>>146780943Ow, I didnt know that, I played it for the first time on steam a few years back, any reason you know of?
*sigh* I wonder when/if I should give up on my hope for things arriving.I was excited to.Being grinched hurts.
>>146775035I'm sick and depressed so thanks for making this. Still waiting for others to talk about this but I'll do what I can, as I have been.
So I was playing Astrobot and I was wondering what other video games have good Christmas levels.
>>146782136Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has DLC that includes Merry Mountain
>>146759543Sorry I've been offline for awhile so I missed out on what happened. I won't ask what went down, but can I post a thank you and Image to the person who gifted me?
December 16th is another big day for independence: Independence Day in Kazakhstan, National Day in Bahrain and Victory Day in Bangladesh. It's also the start of Las Posadas, the nine-day period of prayer and pre-celebration representing the trials and tribulations of Mary and Joseph trying to find some lodging in Bethlehem.But for the reading we flash-forward 33 years, to the time Jesus was in Jerusalem shortly before his crucifixion. See, when he was preaching at the Temple, some big wigs approached him, asking on exactly whose authority he teaches. By asking that, however, they activated His Trap Card, because Jeezy answered their question with another question: Was the baptisms by John divine in nature or not? And lo, they knew they fucked up, because if they answered they were divine, they would get in trouble by not following him, and if they answered they weren't, they'd risk the public turning against them. So all they could do was plead the 5th and leave without getting a straight answer from Jesus either.Also, bad news for the meta of these threads, because if this story is read specifically on the Mondays after the Third Sunday of Advent, the earliest it CAN be read would be December 12th. Oof, one day off.

Weekends are also so busy for me. Had the most beautiful evening at my church just sitting in prayer on Friday night, and Saturday I was able to go to perhaps one of the most meaningful confessions I've experienced. Pastor at this new place may be one of the most down-to-earth priests I've met. And a metalhead, funny that.Hoping everyone is off to a good start this week.>>146767859My brother can be for all I care. With his hot-headedness, he could be quite the supervillain!>>146769742I quite like the idea of this. I'll wait for more feedback from others, of course.>>146770889Never a need to apologize, we all have lives beyond the cheer threads. Just happy you're here! Can't go wrong with some good ol' Scrooge McDuck, too.>>146782136Pumpkin Jack has a bit of a Christmas level to my understanding.>>146782211Good on you, Sane-ishI'll be back later to address a few people still waiting
>>146783140Thanks! It helps to life my spirits a bit.
>>146783161You and I both. These are times to spread the cheer, after all!
>>146781951
>>146783170Yeah!
>>146783515lol, cute! I needed that!
>>146783569Thanks, dude!
>>146772160False alarm! I think the delivery guy wanted someone to answer the door because it was Sunday and took the packages with him because I found a couple outside today.Thanks, anon! Lovely addition to my ever growing 4k collection. Fitting choice too, just yesterday I bought Del Toro's Pinocchio from Criterion, so I guess I'm gonna be binging his stuff soon. Plus, Hellboy has become a recent favorite comic of mine, specifically the first few stories, so it's nice to have my favorite of the adaptations finally. Thanks again! I got your note, but I left it out of the photo just to be safe. Burgermeister and all.

Did Riddler and Hank decide not to bother with puzzles if there's officially no prizes?
>>146784661They both showed up, Riddler for the extravangaza and Hank on friday I believe. but yeah if that's the case I dont blame them.
>>146784346A Menorah lit that close to a Christmas Tree is a fire hazard!
>>146785050It is weird as fuck, I'm telling you!

>>146785433Never mind - though posts were removed here it seems.>>146784661Seems like it. Best to just let things be.So then, week before Christmas! I want to know, what is your favorite thing to cook or bake this time of year? For me? Gingerbread biscotti - I adore making something delicious and spiced for my holiday coffee.
>>146777482I'm going to suggest Nine Dog Christmas.Animation is cheap looking and the story is not that compelling, but dammit, I had a soft spot for it.
Here is another 8 page story time from the DSTLRY season one-shot, Through the Boughs.This is the one written by Patrick McHale (and co-written by someone with no other credits, and just known with two initials, J.K., that makes me think it's a younger McHale relative).01/08>>146771515

>>146784731Did the X-Men or FF holiday story from THIS year's holiday special get posted in a previous thread, I couldn't find it but I think someone story-timed the entire issue when it was released in late November? Because I remember seeing the Kitty/Logan reaction shots somewhere?I wanted to do the FF one later today if it hadn't been done but I'd rather do something NEW if it has.

>>146786468That reminds me, where's Kreon? Man, it's so sad to see people fade away.
>>146786639I'm pretty sure he's been in at least some threads, just with no name.
>>146786678Cool, whatever works for him. It looked like we were missing too many regulars before we were facing an existential threat. Praying for Cheer 2025 somehow.

Are there any villain-centric Christmas issues or episodes that aren't just Christmas Carol pastiches? I recall a short Santa Doom story and Thanos giving a young Gamora a Christmas. I'd like more like this.

>>1467882384/16Actually should I do the contest, Grimlock letters, and Robo-Capers pages, I know the latter's sort of come up in another UK comic posted here, but maybe someone likes reading letters pages and doing the spot-the-difference contestsRemember when you had specific plans and schedules for having fun as a kid? e.g. it was crucial to be awake by 10:30 for Saturday morning cartoons, you will finish the colouring page by this week, etc...

>>146777482 It's not clear to me where, how or what's this basketball thing came from and the holidays with the recent cheer streams... Buuuut since this topic is entering to the play, I put these as a suggestion, especially the first one, from the French series Baskup/Basketeers Tony Parker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcBxCIBuUfIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJIQPhX73gs The inconvenient is that there is no official dubbing/subtitling, only automatically generated translation; If anyone knows or has a source adaptable for non-French speakers, please share it in the goodness of your spirit.

>>146789366Sounds hot, in a festive way
I've been away for a while due to family reasons, but it feels good to be back in these threads, albeit now I feel like that Community meme of Troy walking into a burning room because of the drama I missed.I just wanted to say Thank you, Sane-ish Cat Lady, for the gift! It arrived safely, and I can't wait to dive into Lords of Misery when I start my The Goon reread.
>>146789440I should re-read The Goon as well. That was the first series that really got me into comics. Hopefully I'll like the darker stories more this go round. In 2009 I just hated how different it was from the funny stuff I fell in love with. That year-long arc was a miserable slog for me. They put that horrid little nameless witch-man through so much suffering I ended up rooting for him.
>>146789234If I recall one of Skeles irl friends has a birthday then so he skips streaming if it falls on that date

>>146789891>>146789871
>>146789871It's a solution. I personally like it. It addresses all of my concerns for a solution. But it needs to be approved by the long-time event organizers to be made our official new system, and the big chief has distinctly not been a part of this year's festivities, and may well still not even know the whole tradition's been abruptly overturned and jeopardized. It's out of our hands right now.

Okay, I might as well post another comic to get the taste of Mr Whiny-Little-Bitch out of their mouths
>>146789528I loved it from start to finish. The way the story, town and characters evolved over time just hooked me. The art work is just beautiful especially the way Powell is able to convey emotion in the faces of each character, and set the tone of each location in the book is great. I haven't read any of the new stuff since Powell started up the series again, but his initial series to me is just chef's kiss. It also holds a special place in my heart because it was one of the first non big two books /co/ recommended to me when I was in high-school many years ago getting into comics.

>>146760307How about the christmas specials for Jimmy Neutron (Holly Jolly Jimmy) and Billy and Mandy save Christmas. As far as movies go, A Christmas Story is a classic.
>>146790349I appreciated all of that myself. I think I will judge it all more favorably on a revisit.
People, quit trying to talk sense to the /r9k/unt - they're too busy being butthurt to acknowledge reality.>>146790489I still need to donate to the local children's hospital; they normally do a Christmas appeal for something or other and the hospital sometimes asks me to consider them in my will (lol) but if I can make some kid's Christmas a bit less shitty, then that's good by me.
Wulp, here's a pic I made for a FoxTrot Christmas themed video. Wasn't gonna post it here, but I returned to making fanstuff of this strip after a 3 year hiatus. Just cherishing if nothing else.

How do you avoid Christmas Day turning into a depressive liminal void between the morning gifts and the evening dinner? I've always had this problem because of how we structure things. I guess the key is to have something lined up to do during the day, but what's even open on Christmas?
>>146790613Part of what helps is that I always have a quiet Christmas between me and only a couple family members. Never been a big family reunion Christmas sorta guy. So our dinner usually ends up finished early. Plus I have Christmas presents to mess around with, people to chat with online, or worst case scenario, leftover Christmas specials to binge or stream.
>>146790572wow everyones here! Even the kid that Paige babysat the one time
>>146790613Watching something to take your mind off things might help. Doesn't even have to be Christmas stuff, just something that you find chill/interesting/funny/whatever you need.
>>146790643That would help. I think part of the problem is most of my gifts tend to be longer form media that I can't really plunge into until the next day, since there's nowhere to go after that. TV series box sets or novels. >>146790675Indeed.
>>146790675I caught a Mythbusters marathon after Christmas one year that really helped. Might have even been over several days.
>>146790613>what's even open on Christmas?My bussy.
1998 was an interesting year for Sega. They'd bought the rights to Puyo Puyo from Compile, ensuring they had exclusive rights to the franchise... oh yeah, and they released the Dreamcast in Japan, about a year before the West would get it so that Sega wouldn't repeat the mistakes made with the Saturn's launch. Of course, Sega being Sega they kinda fucked up anyway because they couldn't get enough of the damn things made on time.As the official publication for Sega, the people in charge of StC were fucking things up in their own way. All the non-Sonic back-up strips were chucked out (even the beloved Decap Attack) in favour of either Sonic's supporting cast, or reprints to save production costs (not the worst tactic, given that you couldn't exactly pop onto libgen or Internet Archive back then to find old scans, but it was still blatantly cheap.) All the fun features of classic StC were also shelved; Review Zone, News Zone, even Control Zone and Speedlines were no more as Megadroid had been forced into early retirement.
>>146790613I've celebrated the eve as far as meals, and the day was often for coffee and a visit with a close friend(s) and often a movie, last year neither of those happened partially because of a move to a different part of my metro area last summer (2023)Some Starbucks are partially open that day and if we are seeing a movie, we try to find one nearby. Plenty of bars are open and some often serve food, but you have to be somewhat desperate to eat food that's left on warmers, usually on a pool table or some such, at most bars that don't normally have a kitchen set up. A proper pub with proper pub food is best if that's your sole or best option.Also, Chinese food, just like KFC in Japan. I was stuck in a hell hole in the deep south for two+ years, and one year, I flew back to California to spend the holidays with my old friends, but the following year, I spent Thanksgiving there, so two trips in one winter wasn't an option, so one friend and I (he was disowned by his family) spent the evening together but we got the Chinese food to go. It was actually nice, we went out to a bar afterwards and both hooked up. Loads of lonely folks.

you can send new lists offsite to an email who updates a pastebinAnd step two anyone gifting can let the thread know that they have gifted someone from the pastebin, not posting their amazon list.Both those two things are fine according to the /r9k/ modpost which is all we fucking have to go on.But the emailing of new lists to be added is what is being considered "begging" this year so yes, that part is what is sent to an email. I'm willing to run it or anyone else can. It's just redtape to avoid posting new amazon lists on 4chan.Posting you've gifted someone to 4chan directly is fine as long as you're identifying them not by an amazon link.I just spoke to a mod on IRC who unbanned me (thank you mod) and said that as long as we follow the /r9k/ modpost we're okay. Just don't post amazon links directly on the site. Emailing them to a set email is fine. Saying you've gifted someone as long as you identify them by initials like /a/ does or anything that isn't the amazon link is fine.Posting pictures of the gifts when you've gotten them is fine. Posting that email to send to on 4chan is fine. So we email the lists to the email, with maybe a nickname or Initials to identify by. Then we're golden.If someone is willing to update the pastebin and be in charge of the email, great. I also volunteer just in case nobody is better suited.
>>146791374So, while it's an extra step from years past, and it has to be hosted/posted not on 4chan, we can mostly continue on like before.Just accepting new ones is the part that's really affected.
>>146790561My friend works for an agency that helps foster kids as part of their mandate, it's especially hard on the kids who are aging out as the toys and stuff that are donated to the foster homes and families are stuff for younger kids. So we've been doing dive bar meet ups every year, where people can bring toys (or other stuff) to donate for teens (primarily sports equipment and gift cards).
>>146791545Aww that sounds terrible, being left out because most forget about the teens or prefer seeing the little ones smile.
Merry Christmas to everyone participating in this years Secret Santa! [this is an example not real email, not live don't actually attempt to email it, just setting up an example of how this can legally work]Make sure to email cosecretsanta2024@gmail.com(this is just a test example email not real) with your participation, I hope for a lot of involvement this year. Read the pastebin which contain detailed instructions on how to participate! Don't post any Amazon lists in this thread!You'll send them offsite to this email where it will be handled by TOP MENGiftING not just being giftED is also handled with nicknames so make sure to include one. Post in the thread nicknames only.Your generosity is appreciated.https://pastebin.com/E6vyC5qTPastebin is just instructions, not containing lists, links, names, addresses.
>>146791759So there, that's an example of how it could be handled. Polish that up or tell me to do it and make a real email like the modpost requested we do. Completely kosher like we were celebrating Hanukkah instead. No links on 4chan!
If Mr. E is still around I just wanted to say thank you for the gift of X-Men. Hope you're having a wonderful holiday season, pal!
>>146791881He said there'd be a riddle, but I wouldn't blame him if he just decided to bail after all that.
>>146790659Yup, Katherine O'Dell.Believe it or not I excluded some ancillary characters I wanted to include, like Hawkins and Eugene Wu,from Math camp or Peter and Steve's one bearded teacher.
>>146791759What is wrong with you? You don't need to do anything at all. Solution. Was. Found.
>>146791953It clearly wasn't. A Secret Santa not on 4chan isn't /co/'s secret santa. Enjoy, what I posted is allowed. Yes, it's more steps than the past, but it's allowed. It's on 4chan and can be /co/'s actual secret santa. You can have another website's secret santa too if you want, but /co/ is allowed to have one.
It's fun watching this pair of ungifteds butt heads over each trying to wrestle some degree of authority over this so they can ultimately be sure they're gifted before the year's out.
>>146791976>butt headsI think you summed up the situation rather well
>>146791976I may or maynot be gifted or even have my name in the list at all. I don't care that I'm in charge of anything, I just want /co/ able to have a Secret Santa. And we can. Just with obfuscation so that amazon links aren't being linked to 4chan.
>>146791972>A Secret Santa not on 4chan isn't /co/'s secret santa.Okay, so you're autistic. I get it now.
>>146790683Often I get something like a new jigsaw puzzle or a Lego kit, or a video game to keep me occupied while I do my usual Youtube habits.
>>146792129This is /co/'s Secret Santa. Not the desuarchive's, not +4chans, not anywhere else. We can have it here and talk about it here and instruct about it here. The modpost is clear.Just don't link amazon in the thread, email codes to someone who keeps the lists.
Hopefully it's cool to say this because I don't know what the rules are anymore but thank you Riddler for the Harley bobble fig, just got her!
>>146790613Spend time with some family or take the dog for a walk. Dad usually has a puzzle set up, passes the time.>>146791080Man I like Sonic too much, I'm afraid I'll dislike the movie. Made it through the first one though
>>146792343What about the second? I watched it tonight for the third time and enjoyed it the most of my viewings.
>>146792462Never saw it, but if you think it's worth it, I'll give it a shot
Getting grinched hurts, just wanted to help this year.It's not going to spoil things too badly, I'll still look through a list to see if i can help.
Any decent new Christmas TV specials/episodes? Or is that something we don't do in The Age of Streaming, when you can't control when something airs?
CURRENTLY STREAMING:Rudolph the Red Noses Reindeer https://vaughn.live/sheol_uk>>146782136Nights into Dreams/Christmas Nights is a masterclass in how its done.>>146789366>it's like regular dolphin porn but they're wearing santa hatsThat made me laugh way too much because it was so unexpected>>146790561I'm yet to get to mine. I normally take a load of stuff for the staff on the floor where I was treated every year. Hopefully I can get over this thing enough to drop a bunch of tins of celebrations or something. One time I ordered a bunch of pizzas for the night shift.>>146790572Nice!>>146790613Christmas walk is where it's at mate. Gets you out for 20 minutes, it's ideal.>>146793048None that I've seen so far. Here in the UK they're doing Tiddler as the new Julia Donaldson (maker of Gruffalo) movie and that's become something of a tradition as I used to read her books to my kid at night and Tiddler was his favourite.
>>146791759>>146791972Yeah I'm definitely not going to participate if it's that complicated. The moment we have to resort to e-mails is the moment all of this gets too complicated>>146791990I'd rather switch to a hybrid type model (plus and /co/ together) than have additional steps just for gifting people. We can reference it every now and then even if it means a person receiving a ban>>146792992Not to be mean but you have literally been the only person basically begging in almost every single post so far. How many times are you going to repeat the same thing over and over? Both of your lists still have items on them. Grinching means your entire list getting deleted so you're just begging at this pointYou've also stated multiple times that you would gift someone, yet you have not gifted a single anon. It's rather clear the entire thing is either reciprocal in your eyes or that you will ask a hundred times to be gifted and not gift anyone until the very end
>>146793970I am going to gift. I get paid on Thursday.I have to be careful with spending.And yeah, guess i'm an asshole for wanting to speak out against grinching.Cheer sure is fun.
>>146793980Yeah boss, I don't think you're using the term "grinching" in the same way everybody else does.
>>146793980I just looked up your comments in previous threads just to make sure I'm not mistaken but literally every post of yours so far has included how terrible your year was or something regarding the supposed grinching of your list. And you made sure to make the latter your main topic in EVERY single one of your posts after the first oneSo tell me, how are you able to enjoy the cheer if all you talk about is how bad your year has been or how you were grinched? Sorry to react like this but if all you talk about is your list, it seems like you don't really care about the cheer aspect of the threads
>>146793970In fact I just gifted just now.Enjoy your gift number 63. You got good taste.>>146794020Forgive an idiot for believing people wouldn't fuck with him and give false hope.Enjoy the cheer thread.I gifted and at this point, could give a fuck about my list.Mission accomplished.
>>146794042Because it felt bad to have hope raised and then taken away quickly.Regardless, I'm shutting the fuck up.I gifted and feel better about doing so.
>>146791881>>146791906He has still not fulfilled everyone who helped clear the ungifted and, if he picked someone for his explanation challenge, Riddler didn't announce it as such, but if IIRC, only about 5 people or so answered and with that thread being pruned and the next one, even though he is an old timer and should know, we have no way of becoming aware unless Mister E pops in and says something, which so far he hasn't.>>146792144>lego kitI got something small - my first actual owned LEGO anything, other than a mini-fig someone once gave me, which is apparently a complete 'set' - just a small one. But apparently these small sets can be used to make larger things, I'm going to need to look at videos on line or something once I have time.>>146793423>Christmas walkA walk after any heavy meal is ideal but most folks just enter Food Coma land and fall asleep.>^ PIC UN REL
>>146794100I remember I tried to get the family to do a walk after Christmas dinner one year... only my uncle was up for it, and after about ten minutes my mom drove by to pick us up and bring us back.
December 17th is the anniversary of the first flight of the Wright Brothers, and as such there's two separate celebrations about it: Wright Brothers Day and Pan American Aviation Day.Today's reading is... unusual. It's the very start of the Gospel of Matthew, where he lists off all the generations from Abraham himself down to Joseph, Jesus' stepdad. So not much in the way of life lessons, but fans of loredumps sure will be ecstatic.One thing of note - and Matt makes sure to make a note of it as well - From Abe to King David (Joseph was, after all, "from the house of David"), then from David to the "transmigration of" (or "Carrying away into") Babylon, and then again from that to Christ, each took 14 generations - 14 being two times seven, and seven being symbolic of completeness. So yeah, that's a thing.
>>146794355Well Sheol suggested it, >>146793423 but it reminded me that my big brother, whom I was really close to before he died in this freak accident, would also get me to do that after a big family dinner. It was a good way to get out from under that atmosphere, and just spend time together, which is probably why we got close.However, I can see if we're talking about treadling through snow, that's one thing. I spent the holidays about 6 years in upstate California, in the redwoods, and about four of us took all the dogs (seven of them) on leashes for a walk, in a light drizzle, but it was still very cold. I had the three big dogs and my friend has two small ones, including one of those stupid purse dogs. And some of the humans couldn't deal with a little drizzle because it was about 35/40 degrees out during the day and some of the dogs couldn't either, while the rest were just splashing away.
>>146794571>Esau not even mentionedFeels bad man...>loredumpsYou can consider Matthew 1 a recap episode if it makes very very patient Hebrews more excited for the Messiah.

>>146793970Sending off an email with the code is not more complicated than posting it in the thread.Also, since we're emailing off the lists now, we don't even need the complicated Code-finding part!Just send the URL of your list to the email because it's not being posted on 4chan!What we used to do to avoid being called beggars is now a complicated mess that can be avoided by the new required methods!
>>146795222>we don't even need the complicated Code-finding part!What is so "complicated" about it?
>>1467952444. After you've checked your settings, ESPECIALLY THE ADDRESS, and added some items, you're ready to get your wishlist code.a. On PC: Open your list. The address bar will look like this:https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/###########/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_1.Copy just the ########### and paste that into your post.b. On the mobile app: Click the "Invite" button in the upper left. Click "Copy link".Paste your link somewhere, it will look like this:https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/###########/ref=wl_share. Copy just the ########### and SEND All of that is complicated and now it can be "copy the URL and send it in the email with your nickname"
>>146793423Thank you ^^
Good to see that one really transparent beggar called out and apparently bullied into gifting instead of making the token nebulous "next paycheck" promise for the whole month.

>>146795870Yup, I'm a piece of shit.>>146795940Piece of shit green man, that's me.
>>146795940Rather t. someone who has participated a lot in threads in recent years, done an okay share of gifting, and tries to stay positive instead of only talking about negatives
>>146791759This thread is archiving. New example of what's allowed is >>146796115It's all fine. You can talk about the process here, just use nicknames instead of amazon links or codes of amazon links. All of that has to be sent through email or something else offsite. Then Pastebins can be updated by the email holder.Talking about the process is fine, complaining is not.
