And there’s yet another Stilez vs. Christmas cameo! I’m not sure when we’ll see her next, but the thought occurs that’d it’d be funny if Anita has a different unnatural hair and skin tone ever time she shows up. Like she dyes her whole self to match whatever ensemble she’s wearing, ya know?

Also, with all the talk about Xal-Gox soda lately, I realized we hadn’t gotten a good look at their creepy, creepy, CREEPY faces. FIXED!

Honestly, though, I kind of screwed up on this page. This should have been one of the first ones I started on, so that there’d be plenty of time to work on the details of the float. Instead, I just plowed through the stack of pages in chronological order, resulting in my being thoroughly burned out by the time I reached this one. Thus,that gingerbread nativity isn’t anywhere NEAR as detailed as I’d intended it to be.

Oh well…

(Historical Notes: In retrospect, I don’t even know why this page was set to go so late in the first place.  The Hug Storm ought to lead straight into the climax, not lose momentum with an extra beat like this.  On pretty much every level, this page needed come earlier than this.)
