Can you feel the Xmas?

It is here.

Witness the Bloom County Christmas special that aired years ago that still stands up today as something that.... well, you can watch it on the birthday of Jesus.

I always had a problem with giving Opus a voice. My beef.

But, if you can get past that, the animation is great and the story is damn fine too.

Someday Opus will fly. Look for it in your Sunday comics.

Jingle bells everybody, jingle bells!
