Hey ya out there in internet land! DVid here on the day after Christmas to wish you a happy and healthy rest of the year. The presents are all unwrapped, and by now we have either stood in the a crowded area in the hopes of returning that one crappy gift that we all got. As well as playing with all the new goodies that we got. Some where in between all of that, I have found the time to do today's Shoofly comic. One that I have to admit that I rushed through. So as of right now I have no idea how it turned out as I am in the midst of fighting off the sandman as I type, so as I can put this comic up on time. Hell I dont even have a caption for this one. But the important thing is that I got it up.

And with that, I think it is time we call it a day, or night, depending on what part of the country you are on. Untill next time, I will catch ya all later.

And the count down begins ladies and gentlemen. We are eight days until the big day, that awesome day where we gather with family, good ones and bad, and open presents and eat food. That's right, we are eight days from Christmas people. But before that happens, lets check in with the gang from Shoofly and see what is going on.

Well it looks like Manny may have discovered the present that Sasha got for herself. So I know I do the whole fan letters thing and all, but since we are this close to Christmas, I wanted to try something else instead. I thought it would be fun to put up some letters to Santa. Now you may be wondering how I came into possession of these wonderful treasures. Well I know a few people who wrote some letters and wanted the world to read them. So lets see what the first one has in store for us.

Dear Santa,

I have been good this year, well as good as I could be since I am a professional drunk. I did not get into too many any fights, and only drank clear liquids, granted they were of the vodka, rum, and gin variety. Now if you are wondering about that arrest for public urination, well it was not my fault, as I could have sworn that I was in a bathroom, and that the cops leg was a urinal. But now he knows the difference between being pissed off and being pissed on, just as I know the difference between life beating me down and a burly cop beating me down. But the point of all of that, was that I learned my lesson. Now to the point of this whole letter, I was hoping that I could get a new liver, as the one I am sporting seems to have seen better days, and has reached its limits in the amount of alcohol it can now take. Thank you for your time, and thank you even more if you actually read this letter instead of just putting it through the shredder like I was expecting. Have a Merry Christmas.

All right gang, that is going to do it for this Monday, I will see you all again tomorrow.

-DVid

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.

-DVid

Chances are you are reading this at three thirty in the morning while you wait in line to get run over by a bunch of shoppers in the pursuit of great deals on this ...... BLACK FRIDAY!! And as you stand in line with some chubby old woman breathing down your neck, you can enjoy this black Friday Shoofly cartoon.

 

See, its funny cuz it's true folks. Well a little thing to add is that this edition does not have the Shoofly logo on it. The reason being that one, I forgot, and two, there was not alot of room to place it. And now here is a fan letter.

Dear DVid

I am loving this new comic strip Shoofly,

but I have to say I do miss Not @ All. Is there

any chance that we will see the return of it in the

near future? In the mean time, I was wondering who

are all the characters in Shoofly.

- Seth

Well Seth, let me start off my saying thank you for the praise, I to am enjoying Shoofly. As far as Not @ All goes, yes there are future plans for it. In fact something tells me you guys may be seeing it again sooner then you all think. But until then here are some sketches of the Shoofly gang.

Well that is going to do it for now folks. Have a wonderful weekend and remember to check back in on Monday for more cartoons and stuff. Also this Monday will be a whole new look for Shoofly, something I hope your all going to enjoy. Until then, have fun, keep laughing, and take care.
