"Encounter."

Last strip of the year! 

I had to go make a correction--and it took me a couple tries--but Bearface really is a Canadian whisky that's supposed to be pretty good. And thematically appropriate for Logan, since the bottle appears to have claw marks on it! Except I keep wanting to call it 'Bearclaw,' which hopefully is a knock-off version a couple of shelves down in Canadian liquor stores. 

Have we ever seen Howard the Duck go all Ghost Rider-y? It definitely feels like something that would happen to him, and he'd get like the most embarrassing flaming vehicle possible, like an electric scooter. Anyway, this isn't based on any actual continuity, I just thought maybe it's tough to put out hellfire once it's lit. Can Wolvie tamp down the rage, or even the general annoyance? Or will extreme measures be needed...?

Calling a whiskey Bear face sounds exactly like what Canadians think Americans might go for….and they’d probably not be entirely wrong about that, especially in places like Alaska & the Dakotas, and potentially Chicago for Bear’s fans?

Logan’s definitely gonna need to consult either Doc Strange or Xavier in help mellowing out. Or Dr. Bong if he’s feeling bold.

Hell of a final skit to end the year on.

Happy New Year’s to you and everyone in the comments’ section. May 2026 treat you better than 2025.

Kinda reminds me of those early Viagra commercials- ‘if your Hellfire persists for longer than four hours, see a doctor’ (sorry for taking that bit if you were planning to use it, goo).

Wow, Sat gets especially sweary around her bro, doesn’t she? Is that just how people talk to each other in Hell, like how British people and sailors are a bit more casual about cursing?

I feel like Howard’s been almost everything but a Ghost Rider at this point. But yeah, that’s the downside to a healing factor- you need something really strong to get drunk or high. You know Logan’s pissed literal lighter fluid at at one point though.

Oh, and yeah- happy New Year everybody.
