And a merry Christmas to you all out there. I hope you have all awakened to wonderful gifts and all the things that your heart did desire. Well now that the mushy crap is out of the way let us move on to some other business. I am about to start work on the after Christmas stuff of Shoofly, and if I can ever pull myself away from my game, I will start mapping out some of next years story lines. That's right, there will be story lines. Im not going to say what I have in mind, as it can change before I put it down on paper, or computer screen as it would seem to be with me. But it is some stuff that I am hoping will gather the attention of more people so we can really start to build a much larger audience. Now before I let you all go here, I do have another Christmas poem to share, a quick one that I jotted down. Here it is.

It is here, it is here,A time of joy,
A time of cheer,
all the girls,
and all the boys,
wake up early,
to play with toys,
in the kitchen,
cooks a turkey,
cooks a ham,
for its is Christmas sir,
it is Christmas ma'am,
fill a cup,
and have sip,
pour some brandy,
and have a nip,
maybe just a slice,
of the fruit cake,
would be nice,
still in the kitchen,
dinner cooks,
turkey, beef or ham,
for it is Christmas sir,
it is Christmas ma'am.

Alright then gang, that is going to do it for Christmas with Shoofly. Sorry I did not have a funny cartoon for you, but sometimes it is damn hard to write something funny every day, as you can tell from my track record. Anyways, have a good rest of the holiday, and check on back again tomorrow.

It is Wednesday, and we are very near to the end of the week. I'm sure alot of you out there are looking forward to the weekend, got all kinds of plans for fun and good times. Me? Well I try to have a little fun here and there, but mostly I also like to work on my art as well. And speaking of my art, I think its time for a new Shoofly, enjoy.

Ok gang I got some news for ya. I am working on some stuff to put up on Cafepress for my little shop. I'm hoping to have it all ready by this weekend so I can share the link and you can buy some Shoofly and Not @ All merchandise for Christmas. I hope that got at least some of you out there excited, the ones that didn't, get on the band wagon.

Well I am going to keep this one short today since I still have alot of work to do on the shop. I'll catch you all back here again tomorrow for more Shoofly.

Alright gang, I see that you are all here for another comic, and you are in luck as I have a new Shoofly comic for you all, enjoy.

And now I have a couple of things today for you, one being a fan letter, which we will get to now.

Dear DVid,

What inspires you to create the things that you do?

-Mark

Well Mark, I like the bluntness of you letter, just right to the point. I have stated in the past that I am a comic book fan, so comic really inspired me to want to draw. I also grew up on a steady diet of cartoons, sitcoms, movies, and pro wrestling. I like comic strips a little when I was a kid, but did not really get into them until I got older. To name just a few of the stand outs, I loved the Young Justice comic, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man. All of Joss Whedons TV shows, any comic book related TV show or cartoon, Simpsons, King of the Hill. And that is just to name a few things.

Well as for the other thing, I am giving you a special quick little sketch that I did for you guys.

Before we go, I would just like to point out that I know that the current story going on with Shoofly may not seem like it has a holiday theme, but it does take place during December, so that kind of counts. Ok gang, that's going to do it for today, I'll see you all back here again tomorrow, until then, happy holiday shopping.

It's Monday again my friends and with it brings a brand new Shoofly cartoon for you all to enjoy.

As I write this the rain is pouring down outside, something I as you know I really enjoy. However all the news channels keep telling me that it is going to flood, which would be bad because it would ruin my comic collection. Oh yeah and it would be bad for all the houses it would ruin to.

Well folks, we are two days closer to Christmas, and yet I have done about two percent of my Christmas shopping. I really had hoped that I would have been able to get it all done before the the Christmas rush, but it looks like I will have to go out in the hustle and bustle of the crowds and fight my way to the gifts. Thankfully I have my little haven here on the net where I can come and find the peace I will need to survive shopping.

Well I am going to cut today a little short as I am in a rush to go out and get gifts, as well as finish up the last few strips for the holidays. I would hate to get late again friends. So I will see you all tomorrow.
