Three hours later and seven shots of jager

A lot of folks have been asking me about the abandoned boxing day strip that I mentioned in last Friday's rant. Unfortunately, I can't post it, no matter how nicely you all ask, because I never actually drew the comic in question. But if you are really curious, here is the "script":

Panel 1:

Fuzzy walks in wearing boxing gloves

SAM: Uh, what's with the boxing gloves, Fuzzy?

FUZZY: It's boxing day, stupid.

Panel 2:

SAM: Yeah, but it's not that kind of boxing.

FUZZY: Seriously?

Fuzzy looks down at gloves

Panel 3:

Silence

Panel 4:

Fuzzy punches Sam in the face

See, the joke is that Sam got hurt and stuff. And wasn't that every bit as funny as it would have been if I had drawn it? Just think of how much time I would save if I presented all my strips in this manner. HAHAHA.

Boxing's been good to me Howard

You're all lucky someone told me the other day that Americans do not celebrate Boxing Day -- I nearly made today's strip a joke that about 90 percent of my readers would not have understood!

The director in today's strip wasn't drawn to look like Author from Instant Classic on purpose, but now that I think about it, if he had been it would have made sense!

Bells will be ringing

Well, to those of y'all that celebrate it, Merry Christmas Eve! And for those of you that don't, happy Wednesday of no specific significance! Regardless of whatever category you fall into, you definitely should check out the Revenge of the Terrible X-mas Special if you haven't already.

I don't have much to say today, so instead, let me leave you with some recommendations for some catchy holiday tunes to listen to this season:

Ben Folds - Bizarre Christmas Incident

Unwritten Law - Please Come Home For Christmas

Squirrel Nut Zippers - Santa Claus is Smoking Reefers

They Might Be Giants - Santa's Beard

Smash Mouth - Better Do It Right

Goldfinger - White Christmas

The Arrogant Worms - Christmas in Ignace

That's what I'll be listening to as I sip a cup of eggnog and huck fruitcakes at passing carolers.
