2000 AD Online Forum

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, thrills in every store!

Oooooooh, it's here, the highlight of the year, welcome to the SIXTH 2000AD advent calendar!!!

Last year, we kept this thread comment free and full of juicy Thrillpower so I'll start a new thread for comments here: http://forums.2000adonline.com/index.php/topic,41457.0.html (http://forums.2000adonline.com/index.php/topic,41457.0.html)

Right! December 1st and I have TWO treats(?) in store for you! The first is my annual shitey film with horrible singing, I have to say, this year it's worse than ever, so apologies all round. When I think of Christmas I think of little children, when I think of little children, I think of Cliff Richard, so this year I've chosen to do my take on "Mistletoe and Wine," a Christmas 'classic.' This takes place in the Santa's grotto in Billy Carter Block - apologies in advance...

CHRISTMAS AT BILLY CARTER BLOCK: http://youtu.be/XjFY8-eWMlQ (http://youtu.be/XjFY8-eWMlQ)

Here's some stills to prepare you for the horrors that await, though they don't prepare you for the 'singing', which is drokking awful...

Secondly, my equally terrible attempt at a comic strip. Please enjoy the third in the 'Oor Burdis' series. As many here know, young Mr B has been particularly naughty this year and the strip reflects that (with apologies to Dudley D Watkins and, of course, to John S J Burdis...)

Thanks in advance to everybody who signed up to the calendar, I can't wait to see what you come up with! Also, a massive thanks to all the folks who've contributed to the board this year, you all make my day! Real life means I can't get on here as often as I'd like but I do try and catch up at least once a day.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND GRUD BLESS US EVERYONE!

Great gifts to the Advent Calendar so far guys.

Here's my Christmas Card to everyone on the forum.

Thanks for all the advice and comments this year, I don't loiter on many web worlds but this one does seem exceptionally nice.  :)

Here's a Christmas present I wish I could have unwrapped 36 years ago.

Happy Christmas one and all. I know some of you can be right cockwombles at times but genuine best wishes to you and your kin.

My little brother actually built this. You can go see more of his toys on Facebook in the Monkeytron Collective

Once again I've decided to make a decoration for the Christmas tree.
With no experience at painting this sort of thing, very cheap crappy brushes and a spare Marvel Kinder egg figure, I give you this on this 10th advent day........

Merry Christmas everyone.  :D

While we're waiting here's another window with a crappy bit of confectionery behind it. My poorly iced GingerDredd man.

(http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r182/Caliban_photos/GingerDredd_zps0727491b.jpg)

Right then.  Apologies for the delay, but here are my offerings:

First of all, here's the Dredd window painting I promised - it's on Kennedy's of Pearse St, Dublin.  (I've credited the characters to 2000ad and Rebellion on the window; hope Tharg is ok with that!)

(http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r153/brnwlsh/dreddandersonmain.jpg) (http://s143.photobucket.com/user/brnwlsh/media/dreddandersonmain.jpg.html)

But that's only your small present.  Here's your main one:

As you may or may not know, I paint pictures on windows for special occasions.  This year, I've decided to hide some tiny 2000ad references in the paintings, making Dublin a sort of giant daVinci code puzzle (without a fraction of Dan Brown's complexity or shitness) for 2000ad fans.  There are 5 references - your job is to spot them all. Rather than have you traipse around Dublin city like a thrill-powered Leopold Bloom, though, I'll put photos of them here.

There is a prize - details later.  Simply PM me the number of the picture you've found the reference in, and a description of it.  I'll put the name of anyone with all correct answers into a hat and pick one.

The prize:  You'll get an ornamental plate, adorned with the only decent bit of 2000ad fan art I've ever done - Dredd and Hammerstein.  It's something that no Squaxx can be without, but sadly will be, because there's only one.  Unfortunately I don't think it'll arrive before Christmas but at least it'll brighten up the miserable January days.

Merry Christmas - you people are by far the best on the internet.

Oops! Forgot to say, you've got till the 17th of December to PM me.  So take your time!

Everybody else's contributions have been so superb that it makes my feeble effort of 'dicking about with a Christmas Carol' seem rather inadequate. Sorry chaps. Try and sing it to the tune of "Good King Wenceslas' and it'll be okay...

Chief Judge Hershey last looked out
On the Feast of Stephen
When the dead lay round about
Deep and crisp and steamin'
Brightly shone the lights that night
And the law was cru-el
When the poor man came in sight
I guess he was a fooo-el.

"Hither Dredd and stand by me
If yhou knowst it tellin'
Yonder perp there who is he?
Where and what his dwelling?"
"Ma'am he lives a good league hence
Underneath the West Wall
Living there is rather tense
As it is so taaa-ell."

"Right then Dredd now go from here
Take him to the cubes now
Gatherin' wallets from the dead
Is really rather uncool."
"I'm on it Hershey, just you wait
I'll batter him a new hole
He'll wish he hadn't stayed out late
On this Christmas Yu-el."

Dredd he bashed and Dredd he beat
He really smashed that perp up
Threw him in the cubes for 8
He almost never woke up!
Dredd he went along his way
Shooting and arresting
Just like every other day
He just put the boo-oot in.

Just remember Dredd is cruel
As are all the others
At Christmas do not be a fool
Be happy with your brothers
Grud is good and Jovus great
The spirit is within thee
But Law is Law so don't forget
To hide illegal tur-key.

Merry Christmas Wishes

(I'd appreciate it if a Mod, or other kind soul would post up the attachment as I cannot access my FTP - thanks)

Dash and Hippynumber1's contributions were certainly festive and fun. Larf's Dredd 2 poster is eye catching and clever.  Really lovely stuff from everyone.

Gonna be hard to follow Mr. Holden  *weeps continously*

Still working on my other entries but here's part 1 for now, featuring one of my favorite new characters - the badass, wonderful Metta Lawson.  Not only well-written but amazingly cool character and weapon design.

I just wanted to say I was really really tempted to do a Frozen crossover, but I held back :)  You can pat me on the back.

Been really busy recently, so I was unable to sign up for a specific day, but "Gavinating" continued to take place.
Most of ye already know, every year I give the gift of Thrill-Power to an unsuspecting person. Like previous years, I have tried to spread the word of 2000ad, by leaving gift wrapped copies of the Prog and the Meg around Ireland on behalf of the forum.

Ah guys too good. I showed the wee nephews and niece Mick C's morph Dredd and they were rapt with it and even better started asking questions about the prog....gosh did they get a crash course. Z

Okay, let's hand over to the droids who have been kind enough to do us a festive doodle. Big thanks to Alex Ronald for kicking us off in such fine style! I'm sure there'll be more as the day goes on, but please allow me to present these wonderful images in Alphabetical order...

I'm sure we'll have more over the next few hours and days, please feel free to spread the gift of Thrill Power on this thread as you see fit.

A heartfelt thank you to EVERYONE who has contributed to the calendar, amateurs and pros alike - though that Cliff Richard video on day one was frigging horrific. A very, very Merry Christmas to everyone who has left messages or even just taken the time to look at the calendar each day.

Finally, a thanks to Tharg and the droids for giving us the gift of Thrill Power each and every week without fail, it's an incredible achievement which we must never take for granted.

Merry Christmas my friends, Grud Bless us, everyone!

As a final treat from all here at team Zarjaz, we present for you:

Thanks to all the squaxx out there, boarders, lurkers and droids. It has been a ghafflebette 2014 and here's looking forward to 2015.

This was the original comic cover parody I was working on until I had the better idea about the Dark Judge Returns cover. Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 or Crisis at Christmas
