Here we go, folks! 25 solid days of full-color Christmas craziness! Was it a lot of work? Hahahahahaha… “was” (I’ve still got over half of these pages to finish as I write this) I think it’ll all be worth it, though. And yes, this parade business will be the running theme ALL month (give or take the 25th itself) What on Earth possessed me to try and stretch this idea out so long? Well, come back tomorrow and find out!

(Historical Notes: This remains one of my favorite sets of Christmas comics in all of Far Out There so far.  It’s not the best by any means, but I was so proud to have pulled off an entire 25-page continuous story that I can’t help but look back on it fondly.  I was also really proud of the crowd backgrounds in these.  They’re not especially realistic or detailed, but they just FELT right, ya know? …most likely because re-using the same few images meant we didn’t have everything looking distractingly off-model from page to page.  Actual consistency for once is pretty nice!)
