MERRY CHRISTMAS CRAZIES!!! DADDY DON'T LIKE!!!

Welcome to December my CRAZIES!!!  And welcome to the Holidays!  Be it Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza and so forth, all are welcome here to come celebrate the peace and joy of the season!  Things are obviously going to be very different this year, but we are a strong bunch.  We'll still find a way to make the holidays fun while staying safe.  You know who hasn't been staying safe?  The Jolly Fat Man himself, Santa Claus!  What do I mean by that?  Scroll down and see for yourself!  Enjoy...

Uh oh!  Santa snuck in MANY smooches with Mommy over the years.  We all thought it'd be a big laugh if Daddy walked in and caught them.  Turns out ol' pop is the jealous type and, well...  St. Nick might wanna use some of that elf magic right about now otherwise his belly won't be the only thing swollen on him!  This art was original part of my Illo_Advent series that I did on Twitter last year.  It got a pretty good reaction from friends and fans and indeed, it is one the rare few pieces of art that I'm 100% satisfied with.  Incidentally, it's also available as a Christmas card at my RedBubble shop!  Click here to check it out and maybe even pick up a few!

This week we have a special treat!  A book recommendation!  My good pal Joe Gillespie has a new book out, My Father Wrestles Alligators!  A while back, Joe was kind enough to do a hilarious Mike & Mindy guest comic that saw Mike reach stratospheric proportions!  Well, Joe's back and has an amazing new book to share with the whole world!

What happens when you're the youngest of six brothers?  MANY wild tales are told!  Well, that and probably an inhumane amount of noogies and wedgies too, but plenty of stories for sure!  This book is a collection of those wild tales and it's available in both paperback and digital forms!  Convenient, no?

 

Featuring great art, fun characters and wild action, it's a hoot for all ages to enjoy!  and seriously, look at the image directly above this text.  How can you NOT wanna read a book that features Lucha Gator?  The sirens song must be answered!  To learn more, click the title link a few paragraphs back!

And that's all for today in this first week of December!  We got a lot of fun planned for this month, so be sure to come back and check it all out, especially next week as we continue to smash through the holidays!  Speaking of the holidays, these are tough times, more so than ever.  As bad as things may seem, there are people out there who have it worse and need help.  If you can spare some, please donate to help those who need food and warm clothes during these harsh days.  Every little bit helps.  Take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

THAT'S NO MOON, IT'S JOE GILLESPIE'S GUEST COMIC STRIP!!!

We've come to the end of the first week of the CRAZYVERSARY.  I was worried at first as everybody was too busy celebrating the fact that the weekend's here to deliver a comic, but thankfully Joe Gillespie stopped by with this larger-than-life strip that delivered some HUGE laughs!

Did I say huge laughs?  I meant huge BELLY laughs!  Helium plays another role here as does the original Star Wars trilogy (Does anyone truly recognize the prequels?).  Although Mindy is nowhere to be seen, we can only assume she is the culprit behind Mike's inflated state!  An even scarier fact: Gas expands as it rises, which means that Mike is STILL inflating up in space!  For a kid he sure can hold a lot!  Either he's gonna explode or he'll soon release the most epic fart in the history of the universe!  Either way, this doesn't bode well for Alderaan!

Joe Gillespie is a pretty amazing dude.  Through his 4545 Comics brand, he draws the comic Night Ninja which is co-written by his three-year-old son!  Talk about a family affair!  Joe's also an amazing pal and a great supporter of the web comic community, always spreading the word about the work of others.  And if that weren't enough, Joe's got a kids book he's working on called A Notorious Child in the works for this year!  This proves one of two things: Either Joe never sleeps or he is an android!  Either way, he's a dude I'm proud to call a friend!  Thanks again Joe!  This toon was a "Gas!"

Well, that's all for this week folks!  The CRAZYVERSARY starts back up on Monday with a new toon from my Canadian Big Brother, Warren Frantz!  Until then, thanks to Kim Belding, J.A. Parker, Ryan Klassen, Matt Cole and Joe Gillespie for an awesome first week!  Take care and I'll catch y'all next time!
