An Obituary of Twenty Sixteen (About Bloody Time)

Ever felt that 2016 was a crap year? That what I felt.
And to prove this, here's my look on 2016, complete with those who no longer with us.
If you don't know any of those, look it up.
I'm listening to Jools Hollands' Hootenanny now, and I'll see you next year. (Geddit?)

Advent 2016.09: Winter Dress-Up

Just found a catalogue, containing some of the dresses available at Barks & Spinster. The cover features "Jen" Bunnzie and Hot Dog (Andrew Morrice) wearing tree dresses (originally unveiled five years ago yesterday - http://granitoons.deviantart.com/art/Xmas-tree-dress-272858504), much to Nancius Bunnzie's thoughts.

Oh, and by the way, WestQuay Southampton will be opening the first wave of restaurants in its Watermark development, hopefully today.

Advent 2016.08: The Holiday Programme

Today's comic is notable for not only paying tribute to Cliff Michelmore and BBC's Holiday Programme, but also it's also notable for one of the backgrounds.
This was originally done in 1934 by Erich Shenck, and it was done for a Betty Boop cartoon, "Red Hot Mamma".
I found the image in "The Fleischer Story" by Leslie Carbaga, and I thought I could put this on, just to experiment the use of characters on different backgrounds (by using GIMP). So, no infringment intended. Only a tribute.

Advent 2016.07: Postman Elf

This informative comic pays tribute to the late Ken Barrie, who narrated the original Postman Pat and sang a song about a Christmas pudding. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laasIExxuao

Advent 2016.06: Not Warm Enough...

And now, we have to take a look at the special offer of a hand warmer, which is like some foolish school prank, but with a difference (for business). Poor pal...

Advent 2016.05: Wrapped Off!

In today's comic, we see how mothers, like her, often ignore the menacing task of wrapping a present, much to the confusion of the father.

Advent 2016.04: Root Beers #171

Today, we're in time to witness the newest art exhibition curated by Jonathan Philgrim on the games and toys that happened during the Christmas shopping seasons past and present, and invited Dennie Bunnzie to open the exhibition and have a conservation with him. Well, those were what I heard.

Advent 2016.02: What a Silly Tweet I was...

Today, we find a sheep at the end of the queue for whatever trend it is.
What is she going to do with her phone?
And any idea why she's wearing an Aids ribbon? Read on and find out...
