Earlier this week, someone gave me some of the most earnest words of encouragement I’ve ever had about the strip after they’d gone through the archive. It was so noteworthy, I didn’t really know how to respond to it directly, so this is probably as close as I’ll come, at least for now. It meant an awful lot to me personally, and really gave me some “ego fuel,” which sounds self-serving, but I’m convinced that some form of it is important to creative endeavors.
I’m super busy through Christmas, but I wanted to take a minute to say that, for my two cents Tangled is a wonderful movie.
I want to make a post in the next week or so about a couple of my favorite Christmas movies, but there’s no reason for you to have to wait for that. What are your favorite Christmas movies?
Hypocrite confession time!
Each year, I’m very annoyed with the short shrift afforded Thanksgiving. Halloween’s the first “big” holiday for quite a while, and Christmas is hawked immediately afterward in all aspects of consumer culture.
I’ve always felt personally that there are few holidays with a better reason for existence than Thanksgiving, and I hate the tendency to blow it off.
So what did I do this year? Danged if I didn’t think up a fun, month-long storyline for Halloween, and then forget somehow that updating on Thursdays would give me the opportunity for a Thanksgiving strip! The coincidence that this little epilogue fell on that day adds the irony.
I could justify it by saying that with only two updates a week, there’s not time to develop much of a storyline for Thanksgiving. Or that “scariness” is a much easier and broader topic to deal with than “gratitude” in a comic strip where (presumably) the animal characters don’t actually celebrate the specific holidays.
But the real truth is I just forgot. So, I want to make sure I take this opportunity to say that I’m thankful for the people who read the comic, and for the feedback you give. Why not turn this into a sitcom-episode exercise? What are you thankful for?
Hi everybody. Today’s strip is a few hours later than usual, but everything is all right.
