Another holiday, another holiday comic to remind you that Far Out There still exists. Here’s hoping whatever you end up doing for YOUR parental unit involves less of a rigamarole as Ichabod’s apparently does.

Fun Fact: just like the Mother’s Day comic from earlier this year, that’s a scan of the actual card I gave my actual real life Dad. The real thing involved waaaay less mad science.

(Historical Notes: I kind of wish that pod had more buttons and dials and doodads to fiddle with.  It just looks kinda plain next to that industrial background.  Also, I can’t seem to find the master copy of this page anywhere.  I’m sure it’s here SOMEWHERE, just saved to the wrong folder, but I didn’t have time to go looking.  So not only is the commentary a copy/paste from tumblr, but the actual comic itself is too!)
