Again, I really do apologize for the lack of updates — here’s my attempt to sort of compensate. Admittedly, there’s not too much substantial content here outside of the novel segments, but, um… yeah, I tried. We’ve got A Crayon Haiku #54 (which I’ve had around for a while; dunno why I haven’t posted it yet) and a frustrating #55; we’ve got Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #90 (only ten more to go before the big 1-0-0!); and, perhaps most importantly, we’ve got THREE new segments of The Absolute Strangest Christmas Story Ever Told, as Parts Seven, Eight, and Nine (spelled out for improved clickability!) are now online. ‘Cause I told you, this thing is going to be up in full by December 25. 2006. Not 2007. There’s more holiday stuff on the way, too. 🙂
Speaking of holiday stuff, the Donatello Christmas Tradition continues this year with FOUR (4!) Dons for the kiddies — one of whom is TMNT: Fast Forward’s new Dark Don. Okay, so he’s not technically Donatello, but he’s got his DNA and technical knowhow and stuff so I am counting him. He is definitely not mellow, though. Especially not for a turtle.
Aaand thanks to Jax for the Jagun Fighters and tapioca balls (yeah…!) pictured in the latest Hot Flash. The uncertainty with respect to their names on the content pages is because while I was able to locate a Jagun Fighter that more/less matched the appearance of the one on the left on Bandai’s Jagun Fighters page — Yamaru — I haven’t a clue who the other one is. I called him Leech because he reminds me of Hordak’s old henchman, who can be seen in the classic (or maybe just really old) SC feature entitled A Random Lunch #1. We’ve sure come a long way, eh?
That said, here’s to Scary-Crayon’s upcoming three-year anniversary in 2007! And here’s to a happy holiday season for all.
The so-called “Strangest Christmas Story Ever Told” seems to be written by someone with ADD.
They TRY to tell a story, but then they drift and start rambling about inane thingsvaguely related to the story.
Like, they say “The goblin sharks approached Santa” and the, instead of telling us whathappened next, they go on a long-winded rambling about goblin sharks. Then they noticed that they quoted “Jaws” on therant, so they go on ANOTHER rambling about Richard Dreyfuss career. Then they notice that Dreyfuss was in “Close Encounter of the Third Kind”, so they go on yet ANOTHER rambling about aliens. And this goes on and on until they reme,ber that they were writing a story, at which point the story follows until they feel the need for more inane ramblings.
So, it’s not really “The Strangest Christmas Story Ever Told”, buit “The Christmas Story That Fails to Stay on Topic”.
