Have a bowl of cheer

I don’t think I’ve ever drawn my brothers as cartoons before. I hope they appreciate it (or at least pretend to!)

Comfort and joy

Yes, I am back from my unannounced month-long hiatus to bring a tale of Christmas pageantry. Regular updates shall resume forthwith!

Christmas was tons of fun. Our kids are 9, 6, and 3 and we still have to wake them up on Christmas morning to discover their loot (not that I’m complaining).

We went to visit mine and my wife’s families both today, for wonderful bouts of excitement and craziness followed by blessed relaxation and delectable food. The prime rib at my mom’s was TO DIE FOR. So much for keeping off the pounds…

Every year we act out the nativity at my in-laws’. This year I had a beautiful week-old neice who posed as the baby Jesus for us. My sons took slight umbrage at the idea of girl in the manger, but acknowledged that she was bald enough to be acceptable.

The farmer alone wasn’t enough to slake his thirst for revenge…

Happy Turkey Day, people.

A game you can believe in…

Hey you guys, go check out superobamaworld.com! You too can play as the supreme presidential messiah in a Mario-esque Alaskan landscape. Watch out for pigs with lipstick, money-bag weilding Bush, and Sarah Palin pushing a clothes rack as you avoid the bridge to nowhere. Fun stuff.

Nick Smash!

There’s been enough politics for the past few weeks. Here’s some good old geekiness for a change. Of course, thanks to the internet I don’t need to rent the Incredible Hulk DVD to see the deleted scene featuring Captain America’s frozen body. I still have to wait until 2011 to see Cap toss his shield around in his own movie, if our country is still around then–sorry, I’ll stop!!

Why so serious…?

The mayor of Batman, Turkey is suing Warner Brothers and Christoper Nolan for royalties from The Dark Knight, which “used the name of [their] city without informing” them. It only took them around 70 years to notice they were getting ripped off…

HOPE he’ll CHANGE my mind…

If this comic had any readers, I’ve probably alienated them with this one… I’m thinkin’ I’ll lay off the politics for a bit.

Congrats, Senator Obama

First, I need to mention that I am extremely proud to be able to see my country elect its first African-American president. I recognize this as a historic election that many people thought would never be able to happen. You done good, ‘Bama.

It would be much happier for me if he had any policies that I agreed with, though. Wealth redistribution, nationalized health care, withdrawing from Iraq on his own timetable…with Democratic control of Congress, I am extremely apprehensive about what the next four years will bring. Here’s hopin’…

Update: In the spirit of bipartisanship, Obama has selected Rahm “Republicans can go f— themselves” Emanuel as his chief of staff.

I’m feeling more and more like Iowahawk…

It’s the great Marxist, Charlie Brown

I’m on a bit of a Peanuts kick this week. Halloween gets me in that mood, I guess…
