Well, it seems like the gang finds themselves in a very tough position. Christmas is gonna be ruined if Santa and Hank can’t find a way out of this precarious predicament.

This particular comic also marks the official revelation of Mr. Addanac’s first name! For years, I’ve neglected to divulge this little morsel of information. I didn’t want to give Hank’s parents first names so they wouldn’t have any identity other than being his biological creators. After awhile, though, I began to reconsider. Mr. and Mrs. Addanac have become more prominent in certain storylines, and it was growing difficult to refer to them by just “baby” or “honey“.

So now we know Mr. A’s name and we will soon find out Hank’s mom’s first name. I have a special story involving the couple and their names will help out a lot where other people are concerned.

I hope you enjoyed today’s comic! There’s another quadruple-sized special coming up tomorrow, and Friday’s Christmas Day comic is gigantic!!! It’s composed of 28 panels comprised of 14 levels. I have no idea what -uple that is! To give you an idea of large the Christmas comic is, just check out the thumbnail to the right.

See ya tomorrow! Get that shopping done.

NEWS ITEM: I created a guest-strip for John Keating’s “Breaking The Ice” webcomic. Go check it out and let John know how much you like it. It’s one of the few guest stints I’ve done that doesn’t include any AC characters.
