Eglington is one of those workhorses who's been at 2000AD since 2010, co-creating Outlier. Boo Cook has been around since the 00s, doing a bit of everything art-wise; covers, interiors, etc.
December 21st is not only an anagram date, it's also when this year's Winter Solstice takes place (at least in the northern hemisphere). It's also an anniversary of two sets of European travelers reaching the shores of two different lands - Plymouth in Massachusetts and Sao Tome in Sao Tome and Principle.We're still in Prequel Week, and more importantly Deja Vu Weekend, with Mary visiting Liz again. Thankfully, the Old Testament reading comes in clutch, with two possible choices - either a passage from the book of Zephaniah, prophesizing the coming of the Lord among the Nation of Israel, or the one I chose, a fragment of the Song of Songs.It all revolves around the beloved coming to the... narrator? Speaker? Persona? Whatever, and waking her up at the start of spring. The season, of course, being an obvious metaphor for rebirth, and with the upcoming celebration of the birth of Jesus, I think we can all deduce what specifically it's supposed to represent.But mostly I picked it because from the second verse, describing the lover looking through the window, I knew *exactly* what I would doodle.
>>146843536Anon no not like that
>>146843516Ah yes, the Winter Solstice... a day associated with the cold. And what better way to mark the occasion than with a story concerning one Dr Victor Fries?

>>146844500Will the Star Wars Holiday Special be in the lineup again? Because if so, I might dip out for that one - there's only so many times you can watch Wookies gargling without subtitles and enjoying VR porn
>>146844697Besides, nowadays we can do that ourselved.George truly was a visionary.
>>146844697Sometimes I feel like the only one who is fond of that one, it's awful alright, but not as painful as Mondo stuff
>>146843536Your post will get removed, and this thread might get deleted. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE.

>>146845437Bea Arthur was in Futurama, and Harvey Korman was The Great GazooIf you think about it, the Holiday Special is one of the most /co/-related live-action Christmas specials

>>146846795I hope that somehow works for you, but in either case (if it does or it doesn't) gift giving from lists is now moved over to the other place, /co/'s slow little sister. You should post your gift announcement there too.
does anyone have the christmas specials mega link?
What I thought was my Christmas bonus last week turned out to just be the first half of it, and I got the other half this Friday.So:>Dave from Idaho>Justin from Joisey>Erik from New Mexico, but probably really from Old MexicoEnjoy your gifts. They might not come before Christmas, in one case the estimate is actually the first week of January, but hopefully there won't be any problems beyond that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hrNGHRmeEs
>>146844697Nope, that's removed because I think everyone has suffered enough this year. I wanted to mix it up a bit.
Sorry for not showing up more today - I've been busy posting Young Justice (see >>146843071 >>146844108 and https://boards.4chan.org/co/thread/146846498)Anyway, this cover doesn't have much to do with the story, but it's a Don Rosa cover.
Anyway, this story was originally published in Aku Ankka 1986-50 on the 10th of December 1986. It was written by Joel Katz (American-born but settled in Denmark back in 1968) who's did a bunch of stories back in the 80s and 90s - apparently a couple of inventory stories he did were finally published a few years ago! The artist is Donne Avenell, whose career is too much for me to summarise.https://ukcomics.fandom.com/wiki/Donne_Avenell_(1925-1996)
This part of the story was published in Aku Ankka 1986-51 on December 17th.
Remember, it's natural to be frustrated when things get stressful, but you need to watch what you say - it may cost you in the long run.
>>146848475Thank fuck for that! In that case, I'll definitely tune in tomorrow and stay tuned in.
>>146828978That sounds precious. I watched some of the Ultra kaiju animated shorts with my kids after we watched Ultraman Rising. I love the chibi designs for them. I'll have to check out Godziban too.

This little tale is originally from the Donald Duck newspaper comic, and saw print on the 13th December 1946. It was written by Bob Karp and drawn by Al Taliaferro.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Karphttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_TaliaferroRemember, you can't always get by on technicalities.
>>146854261I think this is how it looks for most of us.

This is another Digicomics story, and one that also first appeared in Topolino № 2561 (I posted a Mickey & Pete story in the last thread that was originally in that issue)This is a tale of two Carlos; writer Carlo Panaro (who studied to be an accountant but ended up working Topolino in 1986) and artist Carlo Limido (who began working at Topolino in 1990). Both men still do work for the comic, but it's mostly one-off one-page gag strips these days.
Oh, and this was part of a series that started in Topolino, where Donald and Fethry were secret agents working for Scrooge McDuck.And no, this is nothing like the Double Duck comics.
>>146855816>Alison PreglerI need to get back into Baywatching - those videos kept me going during the second lockdown

I just watched Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol on Sheol's stream all but one of the songs in that special blew so here's another Christmas Carol comic from January 1970!
This one was written and drawn by Al Hartley, who's probably better-known for his cringe JESUS comics (some of which starred Archie and his pals)
>>146857151Really? The art here actually looks alright, not stiff and weird like his weirdo religious shit
>>146857182Well, it was inked by some other guy (Jon D'Agostino) so that might account for it
ANDCHEERWEGO!Burn your tinsel, chop down the tree and huck the presents at people passing! Welcome to the annual XMAS MOVIETIME OF PAIN! for the next 24 hours I'll be streaming festive fails, horrors that will make you want to slap Cringle and boot Jesus out of the manger. Come suffer with us! No matter your timezone, you can dip in and shake your head with disappointment! The Christmas Tree! Christmas in New York! And everyone's favorite festive reboot fuckup to top it off! That's right, the new Home Alone movie we didn't want, nobody asked for but they made anyway and it totally misses the point!Starting NOW over at https://vaughn.live/sheol_uk
>>146857215I can see the playlist... God damn us, everyone.
I just got an Amazon parcel. I haven't ordered anything since the last one that came a few days ago, so somebody else must've done it.A few other people have access to my wishlist(s), so I'll just ask here to make sure nobody went to the trouble of going to the ALL pastebin and sifting through my compartmentalized set of lists (the package is larger than the Discworld one).
>>146855405The one thing I wanted from the new F4 was to put johnny in new york so we can get a spider-man/human torch duo at some point. Pete is all alone in new york presumably about to go through his edgelord symbiote arc. And symbiotes are weak to fire and he needs a superhero friend who gets it. Johnny will be new to the MCU 616 and need a guide and a friend there. All the pieces are just waiting to be connected.
>>146857297No, see, Peter has to be miserable and have everyone hate him for no damn reason.God, Spider-Man threads are horrible these days
>>146857312Well yeah but most of /co/ is terrible these days. People don't read comics any more and just want to shitpost about movie announcements or start arguments. It's all so tiresome. One of the reasons I like these holiday threads since they're full of actual comics and good conversation.
>>146857329Don't forget pretending that 90s XTREEEM comics were "soulful"
>>146857443... that's the most retarded thing I've ever heard
>>146857757Pretty sure it's some culture wars bullshit - y'know "hurr durr comics used to show boobs and all the protagonists were white men"
>>146857789Figures
Surprisingly little to celebrate on December 22nd now that the Solstice was yesterday - other than us finally reaching the Fourth Sunday of Advent, of course. A bunch of little holidays across the world: Math Day in India, Mother's Day in Indonesia, Teachers' Day in Cuba...But in /co/related news, it's Tony Isabella's birthday - the guy created Misty Knight and Black Lightning and introduced A Friend in his Ghost Rider run - who was supposed to be Jesus Himself chilling with Johnny Blaze until editors vetoed it.Speaking of Jeezy, since it's still Prequel Week, he doesn't even appear in today's reading. And Deja Vu Weekend goes ham today, literally repeating the same passage from Luke that was already used yesterday - the Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth.The Old Testament reading comes in clutch yet again. This time from the Book of Micah, who prophesized that Bethlehem, the teeniest, tiniest and least of Judean tribes, will be the one that'll spawn the Lord Everlasting.
>>146857757Seriously, there were SOME really great comics in the 90s, but Youngblood and the other shit from Image sure as hell weren't among them
>>146857215We're currently watching The Christmas Tree, as seen on Red Letter Media!
The XMAS MOVIETIME OF PAIN is currently playing All I Want For Christmas Is You, the heart-chilling tale of Mariah Carey's overwhelming demands to get a dog for Christmas, so I might as well post another Disney Digicomic, this time with dogs as the protagonists!
This one was originally in Topolino № 2560 from the 21st December 2004 (this translation came out on 4th December 2013, and I think it might have been one of the last Disney Digicomic issues before IDW got the license)This was written and drawn by Antonella Pandini and Danilo Barozzi, who did a bunch of stories for Topolino during the 90s and 00s.
>>146858402>>146858067Joyous time to wake up and smell the ashes.
>>146858432>I know from the horse's that in the vault they're looking after a big loot does this sentence look really weird to anyone else?
>>146858444First of all, nice trips. Secondly...https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/from-the-horses-mouth
Remember, just because you want to go the extra mile for family, doesn't mean you should.For everyone who wasn't a fan of the quality of these translations, you'll be glad to know that this is the last Digicomic story I have on the docket.
>>146858444It does look weird, yeah, partly because you omitted the word "mouth". "From the horse's mouth" is a common turn of phrase.But I don't think I've ever heard someone say "a loot," either. "Loot" is an uncountable.
>>146858464Oh, thank fuck for that. No offence, it's great that you're doing this, but these translations kinda sucked.
>>146858466Yeah, "some big loot" would've made more sense grammatically. Disney weren't really putting their best brains on this little venture,,,
>>146858464I mean, I found it kinda charming that Disney would half-ass what was meant to be an official product that would extend their brand recognition even further
>>146858457>>146858466I've never seen someone KNOW it from the horse's mouth, it's always been that you've HEARD it, but it's the second half of the sentence that just looks really weird to me. Like it's been translated into English from some language with a different sentence structure. "In the vault they're looking after"? Who talks like that? And then there's the "a big loot". It immediately made me think of an alien trying to speak like an Earthling.
>>146858519Like I said, Disney weren't sending their best...
If these "digicomics" weren't over a decade old, I'd swear they were translated by AI
>>146857297>>146857312>>146857329I'm just not thrilled with the actor for the new movie and I'm also not thrilled with Holland in a comedy. While he seems to have a good sense of humor, I'm actually a lot more confident in Chris Evans, who actually has been in a lot of comedies to be good at a buddy action type comedy, and Garfield, surprisingly for all the indie drama roles he's done, actually also has good comedy chops. But I can see your idea work except that Johnny in the F4 looks like he's going to have a far older cast, and it also feels like they are setting the movie in the 1960s - no effing clue IF that is what they are doing, how they are going to match that up with whatever else they are doing, other than more multiversal shenanigans >>146857274The three people I gifted have not come back since I posted them and all three gifts were TPBs, not hard covers, do I doubt it would be 'larger' than a Discworld HC, so who knows. And two of those people are name friends, so likely not you and the other one is in Ohiio and should have gotten the gift last week, so likely no you.>>146858612we had half assed machine translation over a decade ago, they just weren't as fast as AI would do it today and you had to do a line for line translation, that's how some crappy pre-2011 belgian-franco comics that were scanned and translated - and that particular scanner is still viewed in horror today in that community. Especially since some of those scans have not been re-done since then.
>>146858762It's kinda nuts how the eurocomics scanlation scene is still leagues behind the weebs. Hell, I was doing it a decade ago (haven't done it since 2020... '21?) and it doesn't seem like things have moved on that much.
>>146858831I think Europe just isn't exotic enough to attract the kind of people who'd take pride in being the one who translated something from Japanese.

>>146858831>>146858853Manga attracts a different kind of fanaticism for one thing - eurocomics does have his hard core, die hard fans and people like me who are strong admirers but not that key, but with the weebs, I personally think it's that there are more of them, that it was a forbidden thing for so long (remember, we had official English language, even if some were UK/British English for decades and that wasn't common for manga).
I've moved on from Young Justice to X-Men: First Class over at >>146858967 - nothing especially festive, but they're fighting an Ice Troll now.>>146858853>>146859615Yeah, that's true - weebs love their exoticism>>146858899Firstly, excellent dubs.Secondly, reading about the production of this shitshow is so depressing.

Good morning, Christmas spooks! Sorry for not doing a traditional stream yesterday, was busy with family all day long, and out seeing Sonic 3, so I let another friend take the reins for his birthday.To make up for it, tonight, I've decided to add a bonus movie this evening. Check in at 7 EST for A Flintstones Christmas Carol and The Polar Express!
This story comes from Christmas in Disneyland, a one-shot published by Dell Comics on 17th October 1957. The overall premise is that Santa is taking Taffy and Timmie (the two kids) through Disneyland and telling them stories of how various Disney characters had fun Christmassy adventures - basically, it's another Christmas Parade but with extra advertising. The writer of the framing device is lost to time, but it was drawn by Tony Strobl.https://www.lambiek.net/artists/s/strobl_tony.htm
The story itself is also missing a writers credit, but it was drawn by Al Hubbard who co-created Fethry Duck, among other characters.https://www.lambiek.net/artists/h/hubbard_al.htm
Remember, kids are going to act up, but you need to walk a fine line between being too strict and being too permissive.
I've got another X-Men: First Class thread going over at >>146860510 if anyone's interested; it's not festive, but it's good clean fun
>>146858831I was thinking about that too recently, that David Revoy comic (The Pepper and Carrot guy) was published in a French advent comic calendar but unfortunately I'm probably never gonna see the rest
>>146860559It's a real shame - so much lost media
>>146859688>>146860531>X-Men: First ClassNOICE
Wanted to stop in and just wish everyone an early Merry Christmas, as I likely won't be back again this year. My desires for a stress-free and comfortable holiday are once more dashed. Unfortunately, my spirit and my resilience went with it.Enjoy your time with your loved ones, and I pray you all have good memories with people who build you up rather than tear you down. I hope to come back a stronger Miser next year.
>>146861307>>146861307Thank you Snow Miser, shame you feel like that, but I thank you for being here in general and I wish you a merry christmas and excellent year! See ya! And as always, have an excellent day!
>>146861307Miser, you are a legend, let nobody convince you otherwise. Wishing you all the best, all the luck, and good fortune for the future.
>>146861307Shit happens, man. See you when I see you.
>>146861307Bummer. Catch you on the flipside - you always make these threads cooler
>>146861307I assume whatever you're dealing with is really fucking shitty... hope it's less shitty a year from now.
>be me>an adult, with family and shit>will not be able to read Serenity with /co/ this yearI've read this fucking comic at least 15 times. It feels really strange that I won't do it this year. I will miss you guise. Merry christmas /co/mrades!
>>146861307Bummer... catch you next year, SM
>>146861659Will your family give you 30 minutes of free time? Do they actually respect you?
>>146858067Speaking of RLM...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxUUeXW6a-s
>>146862617They helped ruin movie reviews. It's either>shitting on shit which is low hanging fruit>shitting on something you also hate so you end up liking the episode (confirmation bias)The world would have been better without them. Seriously, "consume product then get excited for next product" is the only good thing they done for the world.
>>146862839>Seriously, "consume product then get excited for next product" is the only good thing they done for the world.We get it, you're retarded
>>146862839https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n5E7feJHw0
>>146862580Probably, but 30 minutes is not enough to experience Serenity in its entirety. I'll make sure to say hi and bump the thread but reading the whole thing is out of the question. If you're there, make sure put wind in the sails of the LoriXSerenity ship for me.
>>146862887That fucking sucks, but if it's out of the question then it's out of the question. Hope your family aren't complete energy vampires.>>146862839>Seriously, "consume product then get excited for next product" is the only good thing they done for the world.gfdi this site gets worse every year
>>146862839Imagine being this fucking stupid
>>146862855>>146862879>>146862964>>146862980Okay, okay, we can all agree that >>146862839 is stupid and cringe af, but what you're all forgetting is that RLM have decent takes on movies, especially from a technical aspect. The fact that they've made a couple movies means they know some of how fucking draining it is to make a movie, so they actually do know what they're talking about.
>>146863038Yeah, that's true I guess. I don't watch many of their videos, but they seem okay... the only real problem I have is their "look awkwardly around for way too long" shtick
ONE HOUR LEFT until I stream, just a reminder.
>>146861307Sorry to hear that, SM. Hope next year is better. Merry Christmas
>>146861307Hang in there, buddy. Here’s hoping you have a good 2025, at least.
>>146863180What ya stweamin'?
>>146863535Oh shit, I forgot to post the whole schedule in this thread, my bad. Will post schedule soon
TONIGHT ON A NOT SO SPOOKY CHRISTMAS STREAMThe final Sunday of the Christmas season, and we start with a brand new special, in which a little Owl finds itself perched in the famous Rockefeller Center tree, and must find his way home. Next, to conclude our celebration of Spongebob’s 25th anniversary, we screen the newest Spongebob Christmas special, in which our favorite Sponge must help Sandy and her family save Christmas.Our first main show is yet another retelling of Dickens’ greatest Christmas story, with a prehistoric twist. This time, Fred Flintstone plays the role of Scrooge in a play of a Christmas Carol, and the fame has gone to his head. Now, as he must act out Scrooge’s redemption, he must also learn from his own mistakes in A FLINSTONES CHRISTMAS CAROL.Next, to make up for taking yesterday off, I’ve added a BONUS MOVIE to the schedule! Celebrate the 20th anniversary of a bizarre but whimsical journey to the North Pole, and learn to believe aboard the POLAR EXPRESS!In our late show, the Smiling Friends return when Charlie ends up spending Christmas Eve having to save both himself, and the firey pits of Hell. We finish with one of the sweetest misadventures of Ataru Moroboshi and his unwanted alien girlfriend Lum, as she watches her “Darling” fall, hook, line and sinker, for a cruel Christmas prank.Stream Link: cy(delete this part)tu(DOT)be(slash)r(slash)SkeletalStreamer
Christmas Carol-A-Thon continues tonight!Another of the greatest hits, this one is "An American Christmas Carol", starring Henry Winkler as Scrooge, and one of the best to ever do it.8pm ESTvaughn dot live/designateddave
>>146863038They made a few really bad home movies, that's true.
>>146850464Nice Obi-Wan card by the way. Drew Itchy in your thank you card to keep in theme.
>>14686360820 minutes until Flintstones!
Got another Disney story from February 1991. The cover was done by Rick Hoover, who got his start at Disney as an assistant art director in the early 80s; he then became the artist for the Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Gummi Bears comic strips in the mid- to late-80s, then became the go-to cover artist for various Gladstone comic books.
This story was first published in Kalle Anka & C:o nr 50 1978 (13th December 1978 ,to be precise) but the story was written by an American (Jim Kenner) and drawn by a Chilean (Victor José Arriagada Ríos... or "Vicar" as he was more commonly known)https://bearalley.blogspot.com/2014/02/jim-kenner.htmlhttps://www.lambiek.net/artists/v/vicar.htmIt's worth noting that this issue of Walt Disney Comics & Stories listed both writer and artist for this story as "unknown" - THAT'S how shit Disney were at crediting comic book creators back then, and what an invaluable resource I.N.D.U.C.K.S. is today.
>>146862839I hope you get the emotional maturity to understand why everyone is dumping on you
>>146864082They sold out of Space Cop blurays on their site, and the movie has 70% on RT, so clearly people don't dislike it
>>146863687Stream starting now!
Remember, it's always important to prepare for every eventuality.
Problems this year, huh?If I were to just post wishlist codes, would that be acceptable?
>>146864771>If I were to just post wishlist codes, would that be acceptable?No. At best the post will get deleted.
>>146864771No, don’t do it. You risk a ban. Until mods start being fun again, the old way we always did things is well and truly over.
>>146864816Well phoo, how am I gonna say who I got stuff for?

>>146864120Thank you so much for the PNG anon, now I can just edit the B&W levels, and make purrfect.Did you rike the Amazon note that I had to read when it mistakenly got delivered to me first?
Okay then, who/where do I go to when I buy something off the ungifted list?
>>14686360820 minutes until the Polar Express!
>>146857163>the gang finally has had enough of veronica's shitbased
>>146864236You are talking to someone who once gifted you, keep that in mind. Of course I do, fans will always defend their favourite creator. No one is excepted from that simple rule, not me, not you.
>>146865174Sigh...if I must.
>>146864997Can't seem to find the original Amazon note. I did enjoy the handwritten Star Wars rant on the back of your drawn card.
Well, okay, my gifts were posted on Plus4can, so...you can update the ungifted list now.
For this storytime I noticed a lack of Hellboy in general, so let's fix that, from the Hellboy winter special 2017, "Mood Swings">>146865416Thank you Boco! Have an excellent year!
I know gifitng books is not a bad idea...but dont give a child a technical one...the fuck...
The lesson here is. get the giftee something they actually like, the "useful" gift is not often good as a main present. And as always, Have an excellent day!
>>146863608Last bump, 20 minutes til Smiling Friends and Urusei Yatsura!

Really hope everything works out much better for you soon and onwards. Merry Christmas!And the wonderful, painful stream is starting over right now, so if you missed it before, it's still there. Waiting just for you..
>>146865416Woo!
Thanks to everyone who joined tonight! I'm doing another stream tomorrow at 7 EST, pic related. Then on Christmas Eve, I'll start an all-day stream at 10 EST!
>>146867201thanks for the stream.
>>146859615Or maybe they're just better.
>>146867606>maybe >better
>>146867828Ok they're for sure better. I was just trying to be more diplomatic in regards to the feelings of some fanatics.
less than 10 days, and I will be relieved from this cancer. I wish you all a painful death. Kill yourself faggots, you will never be happy

>>146865141>I totes gifted you, honest>a-a-a-anyway, the reason you're all pointing out that I'm retarded is because you're fanboysI don't even like RLM that much, it's just that you pretending that stupid "hurr durr consoom" shit isn't the dumbest shit ever Quit being retarded, retard
>>146868381No, I love YOU the most!
>>146868466>>146865416Whoops, turns out I'm stupid. Not as stupid as >>146865141 of course, but pretty stupid all the same.
>>146868381>Kill yourself faggotsYou first

We've finally reached it: December 23rd, Christmas Eve's Eve. As the last day not directly associated with Christmas, it's rife with "secular" celebrations, like the Festivus joke in Seinfeld some people decided to take on face value, "Tibb's Eve" in Newfoundland and Labrador, or apparently and according to wikipedia "HumanLight" for Humanists, which honestly deserves little more than a smirk and a dismissive wank-off motion.As for the reading, we're obviously still in prequel zone, considering the date. More specifically, in the eighth day after the birth of John the Baptist, when he's bound to be circumcised and named. Liz and Zack's friends and relations all pushed for the kid to be named after his father, but Liz cut those suggestions down, saying he has to be named "John". So they all turned to Zack, assuming the woman must obviously be crazy. But Zack grabbed a tablet and wrote down "John" as well, and that finally, after at least nine months, got him unmuted.Which really speaks to me personally, finally getting a new part of the Gospels after having to go through repeats three days in a row.
i cooka da pizza
>>146868472>>146868539This. Regardless of RLM's quality, only mouthbreathers flocked to that phrase so they could pretend they were above it all, when in reality they jizz themselves over any product that feeds into their cunty culture wars bullshit. Acting like the worst part of their legacy (such as it is) is their best is beyond retarded.
>>146868555>"HumanLight" for Humanists, which honestly deserves little more than a smirk and a dismissive wank-off motion.Trips of truth

The big day is approaching fast, and I've got another Christmas Carol comic!
Rob Williams got his start writing the indie comic Cla$$war, before being promptly scooped up by Andy Diggle to work on 2000AD. He's no stranger to licensed comics, writing Star Wars and Indiana Jones for Dark Horse in the 00s and RoboCop (and later RoboCop/Terminator: Kill Human) for Dynamite in the 2010s
>>146865141The fact that you gifted me shows you already have good taste, but the fact remains that the points you raised have been answered by others itt. Going "you're just fans" only makes you sound defensive.
I've got to do some bullshit irl, but I'll be back later.

You HAVE gotten everyone's presents wrapped by now... right?
It occurs to me that this is the ideal time to post this comic... and so I shall!
>>146871667I'm not seeing friends until after Christmas, so I'll be wrapping their presents tomorrow night. Stick some Christmas music on, should be pretty comfy.
>>146871818>Anyone seen the new Sonic movie yet?Might see it after Christmas. I enjoyed the first two (although the second one got a bit self-indulgent)
>>146871818Hey Zum! Nice to see you as every year. Things got...stupid is a nice way to put it, but Im glad you were able to join a bit! I hope to watch it at best this year at worst first week of the next one.

Good evening, spooks, just ONE HOUR left til my next stream of Christmas classics!
As it's nearly Christmas, let's have another take on Dickens' classic tale!
We're back with old Stoney-Face, who John Wagner co-created back in the 70s.Barry Kitson got started by drawing the illustration for a text story in a UK Superman annual that was written by a young Grant Morrison, but is probably better known for his art on L.E.G.I.O.N., Empire, JLA: Year One and the Judge Anderson spin-off.afaik, Robin Boutell was mostly a fill-in artist/colourist for various Marvel UK books in the 80s.
>>146870755F
>>146871667Doing it tomorrow but I did complete getting all presents today. Ended up being angry because my debit card's amount of contactless payments was reached, something which I never knew existed, so I ended up calling and complaining to my bank. Couldn't pay for one gift because a terminal wouldn't accept my putting the card in it. What a load of horseshit, they should just make me put in a code every time, I wouldn't even give a damn>>146872294My girlfriend made her first bread two days ago and for some odd reason was dissatisfied with it. I on the other hand ended up making one of the tastiest sandwiches I ever had with the bread. Don't see a reason why we should buy bread ever again
>>146872095Just as good as when I first read itI really got to get into Giant Days soon....
TONIGHT ON A NOT SO SPOOKY CHRISTMAS STREAMFirst, an extra-large Pre-Show, in which Jim Henson’s most beloved creations unite from across television for a chaotic, yet comfortable and wonderful family Christmas celebration. Next, an adventure with the Freelance Police, as Sam and Max spend Christmastime in a high security prison just as a breakout is starting.Our first film is the beloved modern hallmark of 2D animation, an origin story in which a challenge to deliver mail in a near-hellishly bitter and feuding town, leads to the creation of a Christmas icon. It all starts with a postman named Jesper, and a toymaker named KLAUS.Next, on the opposite end of the spectrum of Santa stories, a high-tech, elite squad of elves assists Santa in delivering presents worldwide every night. What seems to be a successful run is marred by a single child that has been missed by mistake, and who should step up to help other than Santa’s own son, ARTHUR CHRISTMAS.In our late show, the Claymation of Will Vinton and his team of animators is showcased in a selection of Christmas Carols adapted into beautiful, bizarre and goofy music videos. Finally, we shed a light on another Winter holiday as Jerry Seinfeld and George Costanza are forcibly brought into a Festivus for the rest of us.Stream Link: cy(delete this part)tu(DOT)be(slash)r(slash)SkeletalStreamer
>>146872294So after baking, the filling ended up bursting through the thin walls of the bread in all three cakes I made. To make matters worse, at some point the dough started seeping through the prongs of the oven rack, something I didn't know could even happen, so now they all have a huge ass-crack running strainght through the middle.Actually went through practice runs this time and it ended up worse than ever before.I'll post pics once it's actually time to eat them.

Frank Reilly wrote this one... which makes sense, given that he was head of Disney's comic strip department from 1946 until 1975. Mike Arens did the arthttps://www.lambiek.net/artists/a/arens_mike.htm
>>146872444First off, congrats on the trips. Secondly, the comic strip wasn't exactly lore-heavy. It was just one panel where the Gummi Bears would deliver some of the lamest puns imaginable. There was one that I actually laughed at; I'll post it after I'm done with this.
>>146874335It's pretty damn good. I used to love Scary-Go-Round when I was a quirky teen.
>>146872294>>146874280I really need to get back into baking. I was looking for some cookie dough in supermarkets today, but I couldn't find any. Presumably it's all sold out, which in hindsight isn't too surprising. It's not like I'm short on sweet things for the next few days...
Sonic 3 was the most fun I've had in theaters since Thor Ragnarok. I couldn't be happier as a Sonic fan who loves SA2 above all the others. Shadow was perfect. Keanu was perfect. Jim Carrey was masterful. Team Sonic was handled so well when I expected Tails and Knuckles to get absolutely nothing. The story changes from the games all made sense and felt natural for this universe. The platonic ideal of a popcorn movie. It definitely benefits from a theater experience, which is something I had really stopped caring about until this.
>>146874969I've certainly enjoyed just watching the first two at home, but I might have to cave and watch this in the cinema. I've been trying to do that more - I watched a subbed My Neighbour Totoro at an independent cinema a few months ago.
Remember, it's always good to check on people during this busy time of year - you may be helping them more than you might realise.
>>146874988I watched camrips with gambling ads of the first two because I was cynical and cheap and I was so happy I went out for this one. Makes me wish I at least did the same for the second one.
>>146874587Starting now!
>>146874450Bumping, 20 minutes until Klaus!>>146874969Hell yeah, it was a fucking fantastic movie.
>>146876069based
>>146874969>>146875338I just can't take something like this serious, for my own taste but I guess it's somewhat of a childhood thing or it isn't. But I do agree that the theatrical experience, especially with a crowd of fellow fans, is still a great one and not to be missed. Movies I never saw in theaters, for example, upon re-release (the Matrix) were totally great to see in a big screen, especially because Regal had one showing on their 4DX theater AND it was only $5 to boot!
Here is the final story I will be story-timing from this year's DSTRL holiday special (which can be found in the archive for anyone who wants to download the full thing), it's an 11 page story after this cover ....
>>146876517... which is one of the variant covers for this one shot and this one01/14
>146876527The story is by Ryan Andrews, who also did all the art, including the coloring. Andrews did Secret Prison 7 for Retrofit and the 2019 graphic novel, This Was Our Pact for FirstSecond. This is actually the third panel, so sorry about the prior mis-numbering. 03/14
>>14687656604/14
>146876571The colors are really vivid on this, which helps with the action.05/14
>>146876601I personally have always given any sequential art work more lee-way when the art worked really well with whatever the story was trying to get across - I mean, that's the point of combining the visual of the art with the text, IMHO.06/14
>146876614And really strong art can help push a story forward, without resorting, as some writers do, to the crutch of "Words, Words, Words." I won't name any particular writers here.... 07/14

>>146876709>>146876741I have had a possible premature takedown in the back of my mind but I was mainly uncertain if the next thread would even fill up in time for one more dedicated New Year's thread. This year has been a really rough one for cheer, and while certain changes have been the main thrust of it, they're not the only adversity we've been faced with. So many of our guys just didn't show this year, or only made a brief appearance before disappearing again, one with unfinished business, at that. It's an incredibly busy time of year but we've never had all of these people taken out at once like this in my memory. It's just felt like an off year from every possible direction. Whatever could go wrong for the cheer threads went wrong this year. Elusive being absent was like a terrible omen. Despite that, despite everything, it's been a really nice time here with you all. It hasn't really felt forlorn or anything. Some people have really done their best to keep on trucking for the season and to keep our cozy Muppet family farmhouse warm. I don't know what I'd do without these threads and I'm still worried I might find out next season, even though we sort of set up a functional alternative system for the presents. I'm concerned about how having to do all that will impact our population that was already declining every year. I'm afraid we've pretty much lost those mosly absent heavy hitters for good. I just want this last bastion of the /co/ we loved to survive, but quite literally everything is stacked against it.
>>146866711I buckled and opened it early just so I could say thanks before the day itself in case there is a problem with the site/threads! It's perfect, much bigger than I was expecting. Now I need to get four more so I can sing 12 days of christmas properly. Thank you again! It is a great way to ring in the holidays.
An elf told me there'd be something under my tree a fair while ago now and it never arrived. I don't think I can get in touch with them to see if they would happen to have any information on the mysterious parcel to perhaps shed some light on what happened. I would hope at least they'd be able to get their Rupees back.
>>146876852I wish I could say something that'd make the bullshit seem less significant, but there's not much point lying. I'm glad to have helped out in my own little way (ngl, I was thiiiis close to pushing us into autosage by posting A Christmas For Shacktown, but I'm glad DSTRL Anon prevented me from doing that because it's allowed for more actual discussion) and I certainly echo your sentiment about how enjoyable these threads are. I think the one good thing to come out of all this is that it's reminded us all how important Cheer threads still are for us.We may have gone for quality over quantity, but we'll manage somehow. We always do...
>>146877057You're right. After all, nothing can stop Christmas.
>>146877057>>146876852To hopefully give you all optimism, we've got a year to figure this shit out. Besides, I don't we're dying out that quick. I'm willing to admit again for this: I use Tumblr. You know many times people keep saying it's a dying site? Yeah it may not be as big but it's nowhere near that. In my mind /co/ is the same.Trust me, we'll be here next year.And if not then the mods can suck a fat dick cheese laden one
>>146876741>>146876799>>146876852I don't think they will consider it 'premature' - they pruned a thread I want to say two years ago, maybe three. I don't remember last year or the year before that clearly but the point of leaving the threads post the holiday was for people to post the late gifts. I do agree that once the problem with the pruning/thread deletion was handled, and accounted for elsewhere, that some of the other things that make Cheer what it is have worked well and I think we can continue that next year for certain. The streams can happen, the story-times can certainly happen, puzzles and contests - who knows. There's two people with unfinished business because Khantest also hasn't shown back up to announce who if anyone won their contest from the 11th. My art contest, I cancelled for lack of entries, but I picked a random UNGIFTED anon, and I'm really surprised since I opened it up for people to be able to use prior art and there's always been a ton of original posted in these threads plus people who have posted in the draw threads, so yeah, it's been a weird season all around in some respects.>>146876999Are you in the midwest? You were last here on the 11th or just haven't been paying attention?>>146877057>>146877139I thought about pushing us into sage as well but we are having a good and important conversation.We just need to figure out a solution that works. I noticed Bone Daddy has not been back.
>>146877164>Are you in the midwest? You were last here on the 11th or just haven't been paying attention?Northeast. I was gifted on the 11th but I've been here every day.
>>146874280Oh, you are here after all, that's good. You gifted me when Mr. E was here but it never arrived. You should get a refund if you can. I really appreciate that you tried. You did mention Amazon rejecting the order several times when you made it. I guess it's possible it never actually made it through, but my wishlist does report the item as purchased.
>>146877200Then you are not mine (Ohio, Ohio, Virginia, California and another in Califonia), but mention this elsewhere so it can be figured out, post your actual runic sequence and I can spend some time on it in case it was one of the usual's who grabbed you and it can be passed along to them. I only have confirmation that two of these ended up that anon's hand, but I know the Virgina one was delivered into an actual locker, so it's safe >>146877244you should also mention this elsewhere if Igi does ask for a refund versus trying for a fix
Also, pastebins need updating, besides the one deleted posts today, which are where you would expect to find them, I believe there was another but I'm tired of trying to figure out what it is.And an some educational harry potter type was just something something over there.
>>146874450Final bump, 20 minutes until Claymation Christmas and Seinfeld!
Enjoying some Home Alone while home, alone.>>146870755I lost it at work on Thursday while making a gingerbread house as a "team building activity". >>146871667If by wrapped you mean sent out by Amazon, then yes.>>146871818I plan on seeing it at the end of the week. Mid credits were already spoiled for me but considering who did so, I'll let it slide. If we don't get a chance to speak again, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours buddy.
Line 74 can be removed from the U Know What.Wynaut, expect something to arrive on Friday. Happy Holidays!
>>146876852I'm going to be honest, as someone who participated once years ago. I stopped because it was just lazily buying stuff off people's Amazon wishlists and having it shipped directly from the seller. The /co/ exchange always felt soulless compared to like, /a/'s or /mlp/'s secret santas for example, which consistently have more handmade personal touches and just a greater sense of community.
>>146878418I wouldn't object to doing the card exchange that I guess /a/ does? I think it would be a good way to involve more of the foreign anons. There's certainly ways to improve upon what's been done, even if it's 'tradition' to do it a certain way.That all said, the "buying of stuff" to me, has never been the point. The hanging out, spending time with folks, the stories, the streams, etc., that's all part of it too.I'm participating in /toy/ secret santa this year and as far as being a community thing, it sucks. I mean that board is a pile of steaming merde in a lot of ways and how lazy some folks treat things like their SS exchange, or the generals there, or the moderation and janitors there, is all a big part of it
Alrighty boys, I gotta head to bed immediately.My big all-day Christmas Eve stream will start tomorrow at 10 am EST. Pic related is most of the schedule, more details will be announced later. Good night!
>>146878475Oh don't get me wrong, the storytimes and such are great, and it's why I'm here at all despite not participating. But it is (or should be) less about the buying and more about the giving, if you catch my drift. On those other boards, gifts are sometimes handmade and usually individually wrapped, cards are personalized, plus treats and snacks (or not) depending on what the santee specifies is ok to send... I think a greater personal involvement leads to a greater sense of engagement, and ultimately keeps people coming back year after year, even when they've read all the stories and watched all the movies. Or when they just don't have the time/interest to read or watch, since a sense of belonging in a community is not always 1:1 with the desire to consume stories.It's not my aim to break /co/'s traditions, thougheverbeit. Just pointing out what seems to work on other boards. Lord knows /co/ hasn't been love in a decade-plus, so maybe what's good for the goose isn't always good for the gander.
>>146876852I can only talk for myself, but I thank the chance I have to at least share stories I love with everyone here, have a little chat about traditions or just check on the people that I know from these threads. Yeah it has sucked but I agree with Jackbros >>146877139 if things oughta change, then we can work it out. That said I also absolutely get >>146878418>>146878549 hand made or at least a little personal touch is a wonderful thing, yet I would've not participated in this or any exchange in here if I the person that I was matched with had to spend double the price of what they are making just to get it to Mexico or hell to get lost. It might be less personal, but I find that every single book I've gotten since 2017 here I've cherried and it has a special place in my shelf, Even those I've gotten from puzzles.Again, change if we must, yet the way we did was not so bad either yk?
To leave the thread on a positive note, I'd like to thank providence for having my back. A couple days ago, one of the people we're exchanging gifts with IRL, and one I'm not in touch enough to know what they've been missing in life and therefore what to gift, and who's been resistant to direct questioning, has popped in a few days back to borrow my air fryer, because apparently her oven is great with everything except potato-based stuff, and she wanted to make potato balls(?) as part of the Christmas spread.So she's getting a nice big 2x4L one. The biggest challenge was finding one that'll fit the esthetic of her kitchen (or actually remembering what it even was in the first place).Now the only people I need to gift is my brother (who's getting his Steam wishlist cleared out - it's only five games) and the person who's only showing up on NY, so there's still time to shop around.
>>146878549>/co/ hasn't been lovePhone posting was a mistake.Summer is no longer the only tourist season.I mean, any of us who actually remember things like the Hope Corgi are all people who can complain, legitimately and otherwise, about /co today and /co's most recent vintages since ever before lockdown and post-lockdown has actually only been worse, including the change in ownership. Not that moot wasn't absentee more often than not in his end of life existence on the site. That all said, as I typed, I'm all for things that could refresh the tradition. It would be easy for me to bake cookies to send to 20 anons, but it would end up being an absurd waste of cash to ship those even domestically. And something like that will still leave foreign anons SOL, as our friend here points out: >>146878591So something like a sign up to send out holiday cards and greetings, domestic and foreign, probably could work well, and it would certainly be worth testing out. Some people, as we know from the Bone Daddy suggestion thread, will react like you did here >>146878418 and 'stop' because that's not what they want to do. I think cheer will exist next year, but it would be helpful to have some discussions about the hows and wheres before next Black Friday. And someone needs to step up and handle the administrative chores, at least on a once a year basis. That elusive did it for many years was great and if he cannot, then I'm glad I got the the chance once to gift him with something he wanted.
