Still more holiday reruns, but they probably get better ratings than that Kennedy Center Honors thing.

Man, I still didn't even get my Christmas figures out this year! And there were new Star Wars Black Holiday figures this year, too. They, and Marvel Legends, may be branching out past Halloween and into Valentine's Day now...I am going to make probably my safest prediction ever, and bet I can get a "Love You 3000" Iron Man for like ten bucks at Ross come June. The pink Ewok is a toss-up, 50-50 it lands there too.

I never did see those McFarlane Bat-Santa figures in-hand, either? Or get any of the other 1/12 scale Santa figures. Some year maybe.

Anyway, this maybe hasn't been the holliest, jolliest X-Mas of them all; but I do have a smidgen of hope for the future. Also, a figure that feels like it was pretty much made specifically for me is coming next week, so...it can't rain all the time, or at least that's what the Crow soundtrack taught me. Of course, now I live in like the rainiest part of the world that doesn't have outright monsoon season, and I'm pretty sure it's gonna rain on me driving all day.

Old Christmas re-runs after the break, and tomorrow, "The End" Week continues, since we had an early kick-off there. And the year-ender is coming! Merry Christmas, everyone! All the best.

It's not a perennial holiday classic...yet; but I rerun this one every Christmas: "How Deadpool saved assisted didn't wreck had Christmas." See how our production standards have barely incrementally changed in so many years! Although, Die Hard wasn't universally accepted as a Christmas movie back then, as it is today.

As usual, click to unwrap, er, enlarge. Not sure of the setup? The first strip's waaaay back here.





What the heck, you've been good this year...he says, based on nothing; so let's have another holiday re-run: "Jingle Bells, Blame Mattel..."

And for good measure, here's the 2015 Christmas strip, "Do They Know It's X-Mas Time at All?" Pool and Kurt had been in space for about 21 months at that point, so yeah, that plotline went on.
