World Peace is a given....
The latest volume of The Walking Dead.
And "All my heroes are Junkies".
I've asked for a new Kindle Fire HD! Fingers crossed.
Dredd minis game, latest Joe Abercrombie nonsense and a proper homecare arrangement for my 92yr old aunt who is presently becalmed in an overcrowded hospital ward for no obvious reason.
Pamela Anderson...Santa said No he doesn't buy bulk presents. :(
A subscription to the prog and meg, the Dredd mini game, and for the new Star Wars not to suck.
I asked fur teensy magnets fur connectin' wee modelz.
A week off work.

That's my best present too. I have three weeks off teaching, and all the Christmas window painting is done. Any actual gifts will be a bonus
A nice bottle of malt & a few trades off the list I gave to the good lady (then the peace and quiet to enjoy them)🎅🏻Ho ho ho

Think Santa brought that one early, or at least a room in a rehabilitation unit which is the first step to getting back to her own house. Selfishly, no more evenings spent in a hospital crammed with elderly people on trolleys on corridors, and shattered-looking nurses rushing from one to the other!

Glad to hear it!

Spent my Christmas money already on this Ian Kennedy commission. Worth every penny!

Wow. That is absolutely stunning. You wouldn't mind PM-ing me an idea of the cost? I'd love to ask Ian for a Firefly, or even a Ham.
Wow! Love it.
You know, if I was Dan Dare in the Grant Morrison story, I'd nearly be happy to be... never mind.
That Mekon commission is superb...
Having had the good fortune to meet Ian (twice!) and get his book off him, I can confirm his 'sketches' are amazing, and he has various price points, to use a crappy work phrase.
I have asked for a complete year of Valiant from 1967 and Lion from 1971, I believe Santy/Mary (ie me) has already deposited them under the tree. :)
Ian's book is here, pricey but brilliant https://www.dcthomsonshop.co.uk/the-art-of-ian-kennedy (https://www.dcthomsonshop.co.uk/the-art-of-ian-kennedy)
I asked Santa for a fully painted page of Ron Smith Dredd, but Santa allowed me to be outbid in the last ten seconds. :(
So I said 'Sod you then Santa, I'm going to treat myself to the Black Series Red 5 helmet with £30 off on Amazon currently.'

Filthy boy.
Saw Ian's Mekon on his Instagram account, great stuff.
Santa was good to me, youngest son bought me a rubber duck Dredd.... nice.
Without conspiring or colluding, my family kitted me out head to toe in thermals: ace hat from my son, undershirt and leggings from the in-laws and gloves and ski socks from my brother and S-i-L. Well chuffed, if not chapped. Although possibly a hint that I moan about the weather too much.
