And we are now at seven days and counting until the big day. It is really coming up on us fast, and I am damn sure not ready. Still have plenty of presents that still need to be wrapped, as well as a few handmade items that need to be finished. What can I say, I am a procrastinator. Well enough about my failure at the holidays, lets get in on some Shoofly.

Ok, lets take a peek at another Christmas letter to ol' Saint Nick.

Dear Santa,

Hello there big guy, I am hoping that I will have lots of presents under the Christmas tree this year. But what I would really like to have this year is a new baby brother. And I know I know, you will just tell me to talk to my mom and dad, but the thing is, my dad is always away on business, and my mom just locks herself away in her room. The odd thing is that is sounds like she is shaving in there as it sounds like my dads razor. Often times she comes out of there tired and complaining about my dad. This is where you come in. See I have heard the song, I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, and know that you have a reputation for this. I was hoping that if I lit some candles, left out some wine, and and put on a Barry White CD, like what my parents used to do, you could put a baby in my momma like my daddy did. Anyways, thank you in advance for taking this into consideration. And also give my thanks to Mrs. Claus for pimping you out, as my friends older brother likes to say.

And on that note, I think its best we part ways for today. Thanks one and all for dropping by and I hope to see you all again tomorrow for more of this holiday week here with Shoofly.

Happy Sunday gang! I know it is sad that it is the last day of the weekend, so I hope you all are going to enjoy it. Well lets get to things shall we. Here is a pinup for today, something that goes along with the whole festive theme of the season.

I gotta admit I drew this one for two simple reasons, one of them being that it was a simple drawing to do, but from some reason a pain to color. The other reason is that I am really hoping for snow soon, I love the snow just as much as I love the rain.

Well now I did promise you all something else special, so I wrote out a quick little Christmas poem, probably not the last one of this holiday season, enjoy.

The trees go up,

covered in lights,

strung with tinsel,

and Christmas delights;

Snow falls from the skies,

covering the streets,

and people hit the stores,

for holiday treats;

Christmas fast approaches

growing ever more near

with the hearts of people

filling with Christmas cheer.

Alright then folks, that is going to do it for today. Come back again tomorrow for more cool things and another new edition of Shoofly.

What's up fans and fanettes!!! It is Saturday, and that means we get a new Not @ All cartoon to go with this wonder day of no work for some of you out there. Today's cartoon is one that I have had for a long time, I even made it as a home made Christmas card from someone one year, and ten bucks says they aint got it no more. Well here it is folks, enjoy.

I hope you all got a kick out of that one. Now lets dip in the mail bag and see what we got for today.

Dear DVid,

I love your art, its cute, like you. If you are every in

 the market for a single woman who loves artists 

let me know as I would most interested in meeting you .... ;-).

-Greta

Well gosh Greta, thank you for the wonder comments and that cute little winky face. I very much appreciate the offer, and if I am ever in the need of a single woman I will let you know. But right now I am committed to two things that take up alot of my time, one being my art, and the other being a certain someone who I hope does not hit me for answering this letter.

All right gang, I said early this week that I was working on setting up a shop for you all to buy merchandise with my art on it. Well the good news is that I got it up, the bad news is that there is not alot of time before Christmas, so hurry up and do some ordering. Right now there are only a few images on there, I will add some new designs in the future, as well as subtract a few here and there if they are not selling that well.

Ok then people, it is time to call it a day, and I thank you all for stopping by. Check back tomorrow for a little pinup and maybe something else kind of special.

Happy Sunday folks, I hope that you all have been enjoying your weekend so far. Today I got a little drawing for you in the spirit of the holidays. I think that it captures a major part of what makes up how we all see the holidays now. Enjoy.

Well now, does that not just about sum it all up. A girl shopping in the mall. Well lets do a quick fan letter then I will let you all go on about your day.

Dear DVid,

So far so good. Shoofly is pretty funny and I am starting 

to like the art more and more. Why are you doing 

black and white and not color though?

-Dan

Hey Dan, thanks for liking the strip, and thanks for liking the art. It is always nice to hear from people who like my work, it really means alot to an artist, no matter how hard the may try and pretend it does not matter. Having fans is the best part of being an artist or a writer in my opinion. It can make you feel like you are actually doing something important. So I am glad that you, as well as all the others out there, are writing and telling me how you feel. Now as far as the black and white goes, I just liked the way the first one turned out when I did it. Black and white is a little easier to do as well, since I only have to deal with a few colors.

Alright then gang, lets call it a day. Thanks for dropping by gang, hope you all come back again tomorrow.
