A Tale of Two Kringles
Hopefully, today’s installment of the Christmas rumble answers a few questions regarding Brett’s parentage and exactly how such a union could occur.
Presenting a comic in long form like this (and the previous Evil Sam story) isn’t the norm around here. My style tends to fall into the gag-a-day wedge of the comedic pie chart but I’ll admit that I have enjoyed working this way. Are there challenges? Of course. My “camera” is usually at a fixed angle and just like last year, this story presents new ways to tell the story and push myself. No doubt I’ll look back at these pages in a few weeks and groan but such is the nature of the beast.
Next week, comics will be presented daily to finish the Christmas arc. That’s right. Daily.
See you on Monday!

Oh crap! (Love the narrations by the way.)
WHOA! Didnt see that coming at all…
Needs more blood 😉
This may very well be the best Christmas comic ever.
This better not be a life model decoy.
Noooooooo! Damnit Brian, I really liked Brett. Are you going all George R.R. Martin on us? Say it ain’t so!
Critical hit! O.O
That’s gonna leave a mark…
Brings back memories of the old Lobo vs. Santa Claus comic from the 90s. Nothing like a kukri wielding Santa using is elves as slave labor.
As for Brett, the magic of Christmas will save him.
I hope Brett has a few healing surges left…
Well damn.
That was unexpected!
Wow! Love the choice of white in the first panel.
Brett’s mommy wasn’t content to merely kiss Santa under the mistletoe.
My wife and I are glad you’re going to daily; we’re stuck working retail for the holidays; your strip is a nice pick-me-up.
have to say it…
Kali-ma!
But seriously, wth, Brett was just starting to grow on me in a manner other than a malignant tumor… So what in the name of Odins ballsack are you killing him off for??? Wait… Christmas magic… Someone grab the magic top hat of animate inanimate object for him, Bretts gonna get “frosty and jolly” in one fell swoop (right?)
Of course Brett’s gonna be OK … read the narrations over the panel where he’s injured. “… never give up on magic.” “Never give up on Christmas.” Even brought a tear to my eye, Brian, you jerk.
Seat, edge of, currently on. Also, wootness.
