Far Out There

Okay, so… uh… I kind of enjoyed the vacation that Christmas story allowed a little TOO much. I already had all the remaining Christmas art scanned, with the intention of coloring them as that story ran… and totally didn’t do it. So, yeah, I’m kind of going to be scrambling to get that buffer of material built back up, especially since I’ve got a LOT of distractions lined up for me this holiday season.

Speaking of which, though, Layla should know better than to be surprised when Trigger gets himself into an unusual spot. That said, I’m pretty sure it’s physically impossible to climb up a tree WHILE ITS DECORATED and not dislodge a single ornament, so a little wonder may be justified. One might also suggest that it’s physically impossible for a pine tree to have a 12-ish boy hanging onto the top without bending even a little… but we’ve gotten a pretty good look at Trigger’s physique, and I dare say he’s not much bigger around than your average pine’s trunk, so I’ll let it slide this time.

And lest we forget: NEW VOTING INCENTIVE, TOO!!!

(Historical Notes: YIKES Layla turned out freaky in this.  I’ve always struggled a little with drawing characters in profile, but this might be an all-time low.  I might actually have gone back and tried to re-edit this one if that tree wasn’t there to get in the way.)
