It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas … Well, not in these parts. It’s 10 degrees above zero (Celsius scale) here; we’ve got lots of rain and the only thing that we can cozy up to on a fairly decent night like this is the thought of my comics …

Another brief list this week, though my comic supplier is informing me that next week is going to be a bit of a doozy. I’ve had it pretty easy for the last couple of weeks, but it’ll be a late night for me next week! But that’s life for you: …
