Left my phone at my friend's house 3 days ago and just got it back last night, late.<br /><br />I try, every year for the last several, to send Dave either the funniest or the most annoying X-mas card I can find. Apparently, this year I hit the trifecta: annoying, funny, and 3-year-old magic!<br /><br />I think Dave opened his update last week hoping that there would be a picture or video of the card above his "cold open", but then that didn't happen, so Tim went with what we all saw, instead.<br /><br />The Christmas card was a small-ish (about 4 inches by 3 inches) replica of an ugly Christmas sweater, hanging on a small hook that had "pull up" printed on it. Across the front of the sweater were the old-timey large X-ms tree bulbs attached to cords. When you pulled the hanger up, the lights lit up and the card played a melody of "Deck The Halls".<br /><br />Annoying and ugly as...well, you know.<br /><br />And, then, Dave took it with him to Toronto when he went to visit Mike Kitchen (Spy Guy!!!) and his family and, apparently...<br /><br />Well, Dave wrote me that 3-year-old Zack found the card to be so much fun that Dave left it with Zack as his Christmas present, as Dave said he could not think of a better present for Zack. And, then, Dave told Mike that they should all pray that the battery would die sooner rather than later.<br /><br />I got a very nice thank-you in return, from Dave, a few days ago. Unfortunately, I left it in my brother's car while he was visiting and now it is in Arkansas. Hope I get it back.<br /><br />So, there's the story.Jeff Seilerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543690118315946039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-10180855919100967982014-12-28T23:50:36.888-06:002014-12-28T23:50:36.888-06:00I think Seiler sent Dave an amusing Christmas card...I think Seiler sent Dave an amusing Christmas card. If so, Jeff, and you have a copy, can you share with Tim so we can all see, and it doesn't mystify us all? <br /><br />I wasn't quite intrigued enough by the Obama/zombie Cerebus cover enough, given all the other cool choices. I'm guessing that's as much why others didn't choose it (too many other good choices) as any other thoughts to his presidency. Although that probably factored in as well.<br /><br />So High Society is in the latest Previews, and it's listed as a gold cover signed and numbered edition. If this is still the case, is the numbering on a "luck of the draw" system? I plan on ordering through my local shop again (got the first trade a week ago, I guess, after having to have my guy call in a damaged copy at first, because it had a banged up corner. Collector OCD strikes! [well, it IS a 30 dollar book -- I want it mint!!!]), but if I can get a particular # through Dave...<br /><br />Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, everyone!Travis Pelkienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-22363353308600724492014-12-28T21:10:22.336-06:002014-12-28T21:10:22.336-06:00Can anyone reveal what the first paragraph is abou...Can anyone reveal what the first paragraph is about?
