Thanks for the kind words, folks!  This was a joint effort with the boys - the Alien Tree with sentient tinsel was entirely down to Feliks.  I started off just making Dredd in a Santa hat and the first white bobble bit I found had an eye and that led swiftly to Alien Town.

Discarded song titles included:

- I Saw Mommy Arresting Santa Claus (a tale involving an extra-judicial liason)
- Happy Xmas (Apocalypse War Is Over)
- Fairytale of Big Meg
- Away in an Iso-Cube
- Far, Far Away on Judda's Plains*
- Good King Wenceslas; Just Plain Creep to Me
- Resyk you Merry, Gentlemen
- O Little Town of Big Meg One


* an admittedly obscure one (Far, Far Away on Judea's Plains)

Haha Ming! Is that 33rpm or 78? All you need now is a late night advert!

I was going to add a record label logo to this but failed miserably; a couple of years back I submitted a Fatty-based music compilation (Wide Christmas) - that was released on Pie Records, naturally.

Resyk your buried gentleman - surely

Some of thoservice unused titles are GOLD!

That's a big improvement, Colin!  I'd tweak it slightly further to Resyk unburied gentlemen, maybe.

Resyk unburied gentlemen
And lady stiffs as well
We rarely process living cits
As far as we can tell
We gather valued body parts
And some that really smell
Recycling of cits brings comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Recycling of cits brings comfort and joy

The Judge Child Quest it ended
When Angels met their fate
But Fink returned for vengeance
And hoped t'was not too late
With Par-a-ly-zin pi-zen
And fine Ratty his best mate
Recycling of cits brings comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Recycling of cits brings comfort and joy

etc.

Fabulous work, as ever, from Eamonn, the nicest guy on the Planet!

Yes indeed, great stuff from everyone so far but extra props to Eamonn for his tireless fundraising efforts. I'll be making a donation shortly.

Thank you  :D

I have been trying to complete a strip in time for years! I have no idea how David Broughton managed to get all his full colour epics done so quickly!

I think he started them in March!

Great stuff, Steven.

Sooo, that was easily up there with the best Christmas Dredds, right?  Well done Steven and Nikki, just a perfect atmosphere.

And Eamonn's raffle, ooooh mama, I'm so in for that.
