This guy did this comic, which made me laugh. It more or less illustrates my odd fascination with the holiday season. Nono, I’m not saying that I hate this time of year … I honestly have a good time, especially since I finally have a chance to spend time with friends and family. But I find holiday traditions fascinating, especially the ones that are specific to particular families. My friend’s family makes it an annual event to wander the neighborhood with their dog, who they’ve taught to bark “jingle bells”. I’m told it’s cute, but folks - that’s just really wierd.

The author of the site that I linked to above has recently produced a graphic novel called Lost at Sea. I picked it up at the comics store by my apartment. It’s funny and strange and involves a scene where the protaganist convinces her traveling companions to chase cats. It is not a story for everyone, I think. If I had to sum it up, it sort of seems like a story about the confusion (and humor) of adolescence. Em’s already read it, and she’s enjoyed it as well. Anyway, I recommend checking it out.

I still can’t access my e-mail! Feel free to write, but I won’t be able to write back until a few weeks from now.

That’s about all I have to say! Happy Holidays guys!
