For the love of Santa, put some clothes on!
Ok, but next time I get to torture the next one before I kill him.
Fine. Just get dressed already.
Confronted with both nudity and violence, Americans will always take offense to skin first.
God I love this country.LiQUiD wouldn't play WoW with me this weekend--I blame a certain EVE interloper for this--so I was cursed with an inordinate amount of time on my hands. On the bright side it did give me time to draw this, so it ain't all bad ;)
There's a larger, bubble-free full-sized version available here. (http://dranok.DeadGod.net/full/art/finished/comic28-large-notext.png)
The comic is titled "Happy Xmas" instead of "Merry Xmas" to provide me a flimsy excuse to rant about the archaic use of the word merry. When it became tradition, merry was normally used to mean agreeable or pleasant--not so much jolly or under the affects of alcohol. The phrase was, "God rest you merry, gentlemen," not "God rest you, merry gentlemen."
On a similar pedantic note, abbreviating the holiday as Xmas is a custom that long predates modern English--at least back to the mid-1500s. X is the Greek letter chi, the initial in the word Χριστός (Christos) "Christ."
In any case, I hope everyone had a great holiday and consumed many pigs' worth of ham.
