Weekly Webcomic Update
Wow, it's been a whole month since I've done one of these. Okay, I took some time off for the holidays. I need to be more focused.

Sluggy Freelance — A new flashback tells how Gwynn found Jane's graveyard with a little help from Riff, then it's back to the present, and Gwynn uses her magic to escape, wreaking havoc and hitting Jane with a bit of karmic vengeance. Then it's a Bun-bun Christmas story, where Kiki teaches Bun-bun the true meaning of Christmas, or at least teaches him how to bribe the others with their own stuff for a place to stay.

Day by Day — Politics as usual, or it would be, if Zed and Sam weren't parents. That makes things interesting. They've named the twins Caroline and Catherine. So far, the girls don't seem to be taking too well to politics, but overall that's a good thing. Of course, just when things seem like they'll go on this way forever, the company the whole cast works for goes under, and everybody's out of work. Zed finds work at home depot, although he still calls Sam for all the technical stuff.

Scary Go Round — Shelby and Shelley visit Christmas mountain and meet the current Santa, who took over in 1953. He's green and jolly, though not quite a giant. While Shelley's been good, Shelby hasn't, so she tries to earn her way into the good books by a game of darts. This Santa cheats, though, so she has to pay the price, which is humiliating but not fatal. After Shelley returns in time for the comic's Christmas break, Amy helps Ryan find a girl, or at least be decent enough to appear in public.

Dominic Deegan — Dominic's not too forgiving to Reinholdt, but Cassie's listening--and a little more. After that, Dominic gets a well-deserved break, but not for long, as someone's started killing seers.

College Roomies from Hell!!! — CRFH!!! has been on hiatus, so it's only recently that it's started back up. April brags about her one time with Mike, but Marsha reveals that it wasn't Mike in control at the time. April doesn't take that too well.

Schlock Mercenary — Oops, too slow. The evil forces catch Tagon, and when Ambassador Breya rams the Touch and Go in order to help. I'm not sure how that works, as she's captured along with everyone else.
