The McEldowney Cometh

Today... is the day... that Brooke McEldowney decided to invade the comics page. He eased himself in with 9 Chickweed Lane...

...simply acting as an annoyed omnipresent omnipotent being, forcing his characters to interact for his own amusement. This was not enough for him, however, and so in Pibgorn...

...he decided to take the first crucial steps to becoming one with the comics page. He does seem suitably shocked that we can see him, though. Perhaps this is the only way we have any chance of defeating him.

In non-McEldowney related comics, Spider-Man continues to be delightful...

...as Spider-Man himself has become resigned to his aunt's decision. I also like how the Mole Man didn't so much manipulate the minister as just sort of paid him off. It's the season of giving, after all, and what better gift to give your aunt than a chance at happiness with the ruler of a subterranean empire?

Then there's Bewly...

I think the mince pie and sherry tradition means that this strip is from the United Kingdom or something, as well as the take-away slang. There's probably been loads of other things confirming this, but this is the only one that reminded me of Terry Pratchett's Hogfather, so this is what I've honed in on.

I hope everyone has some happy holidays, or had some happy holidays, or whatever. And check out the Meekrat Entertainment Group! It's filled with holiday cheer, but not really.
