I'm writing this post before I leave, but hopefully when this posts I'm just back from Montana: there's statistically a not-zero chance that I get stuck or held up, but I'm sure I'm fine. I swear I used to make that drive and the snow would be up to my armpits, and now it's not surprising if the roads aren't even wet. Global warming is real, yo. This is a short week that will manage to still feel long, since my work is once again demanding overtime. Sure, it's dark as hell out when I start and when I'm done, and there wasn't much else to do, and the overtime'll pay down my card, but I'm already a bit fried. I had a day--okay, today, as I write this--where I got up, went to work, then immediately went back to bed when my shift was over. Maybe spent an hour awake that wasn't working? That's no way to live, but I won't have to do that forever, so...we shove on.
It'll be an Alf-centric week, though: tomorrow, we'll have this week's strip, again guesting Alf; and I know I have the last issue of his series next to me, so I should read that for "The End" week. Well, if that ain't a reason to keep on keeping on, I don't know what to tell you! Anyhow, if you're curious, there's two stories and a Christmas card this issue; where Alf is somehow supposed to be endearing, while doing more property damage than a full Avengers roster and trying to eat cats. The property damage does explain why he was a good fit at Marvel, I guess.

ReplyDeleteNot to mention the eating cats part right Spidey? 😏
And honestly, what’s more festivus than a short, furry smartass alien with an insatiable appetite for felines? Merry Christmas Charlie Brown indeed.
