BW Article Link: The missed passings of 2012

I hope you had a Merry Christmas. If you’re wondering what happened to Captain Yuletide, I didn’t even get to start it. I’m hoping to get it done before 2012 passes on.

English: This is the picture of the original R...

Speaking of passing on, Cracked.Com located 13 Overlooked Deaths of 2012. Celebrities that were overlooked include the man who made the pinball machine fun, the man who chased the A-Team all over the country, the fathers of Ronald McDonald and various Batman villains (not the same guy but that would cool), the voice of Count Von Count, and some guys you might not have heard of but are still radical dudes. I’m not sure why only men appear on the list but there is a cross-dresser. Trust me, that won’t help. At all.

BW Christmas Review: The First Christmas Snow

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, peoples! For this year’s Christmas video, I’m taking a look at another of the seldom mentioned Rankin/Bass Christmas specials. The First Christmas: The Story of the First Christmas Snow doesn’t really follow the premise of finding out when it first snowed on Christmas. If anything, it’s a minor set-up to our actual story. So how festive is it compared to last year’s offering? Tune in and find out.

You’ll also (hopefully) be getting another Captain Yuletide on Christmas but I’m really far behind on that. However, I did want to get something up (late because I’m editing and forgot) as well as….

Friday Night Fights: Christmas…IIIIINNNNN SPAAAAAAAACCCCE!

I’ve actually been wanting to do this for the past few Christmases, but I never had enough time to put it together. This year, however, I had to make time. Between Christmas and recent events in my home state this time last week it didn’t feel right to break out the heavy fights, especially anything with guns. I moved a Today’s Comic from this afternoon to tomorrow for that last reason. So I finally have this one done.

Being a staunch atheist means that Gene Roddenberry is probably the wrong guy to go to about the holidays. I’m betting that’s why you rarely, if ever, saw the crew of any USS Enterprise celebrating Christmas. Luckily, the comics don’t suffer from that little issue as so we bring us a festive tale straight from the 24th Century. Grab some eggnog from the replicator because it’s time for a Yuletide edition of…
