It's Day 1 of #25daysofChristmasComics posting project.

Gotta add this one to the chain, as it came out at the exact same time as JH#34 here!

Want to support a small business this holiday season? Consider ordering something from my website, like these handmade "Sweater Skellies" ornaments! Quantities are limited -- I've already had one design sell out -- so get your order in quick. Order 3 or more to get a free gift bag! Link in comments.

If you're picking up books for the holidays, why not add some handmade ribbon bookmarks too? Six designs to choose from, and each one can fit books up to 10 inches tall. Limited quantities available, some grab 'em up while you can! Link to the website below.

Looks like Howland Owl from the Pogo strips. Just needs glasses!

The holidays are approaching, so as you try to think of gifts to buy, remember that you can always pick up an autographed copy of "Swords & Sixguns: An Outlaw's Tale" at my webstore! Paperbacks and hardcovers are in stock, plus I'm offering free gift wrapping if you so choose. Link in the comments.

"I'm at a con in a fish market. Well, former fish market. The displays are still here, but they're unplugged and empty. Someone even walked in and asked what happened to the fish market. I suggested they sell her a copy of Fish Police."

BTW this is a true story. Here's a pic.

It'll go well with the giant Pepsi can my husband found at a garage sale this past summer.

Not sure. I was actually discussing this online with some folks about a year ago after I found the Explosion ad in the TwoMorrows book on the subject. Other than sourcing where the main image came from, I found no other info on it.

In you alt text, you describe the image on the right of the label as "exercising", but it looks to me that it's the opposite side of the image on the left, revealing that the wave and surfboard are actually cutouts, and he's balancing on the penguin and ice cube to achieve the correct height.

And here he is, in his new home amongst all my other Jonah Hex figures. As you can see, his gray clothes lean more towards blue compared to the others, but it's a minor quibble for a very nice figure. Now I need to kitbash an Arkady Duvall so we can reenact the fight at the end of "Showdown"! 6/6

As I said, the belt is made of soft plastic and not 100% attached, so you can tuck the gun beneath in the classic fashion. However, it is a tight fit, and I'm worried about stretching the plastic out of shape over time, so I won't be displaying him like this. 5/
