Crustacean Singles: December 2017

This comic first appeared as "The truth about goals" on 22 January 2017.

This comic originally appeared as "Curses contained" on 12 November 2016.

(This is a revised version of "A tree for all seasons", posted 25 December 2016)

This is a revision of "The season makes monsters of us all", first posted on 5 December, 2015.

This is a remake of "That precious gift", which first appeared on 1 December, 2015.

This a sequel to "Season's greetings from the depths" (24 December, 2016). It turns out that even great carols tend to get old pretty quick.

My then-fiancée/now-wife Sharah came up with a brilliant list of Fishmas carols for me, but my artistic abilities weren't up the task of illustrating most of them:

My drawing skills are still not worthy of her genius, but that didn't stop us from coming up with even more Fishmas carol ideas this year:

We Three King Crabs
A Whale in a Manger / A Ray in a Manger
Shark! Hear the Bells
Little Drummer Koi
Starfish of the East
O Holy Pike
I'm dreaming of a bite Fishmas, by Bing Jawsby (a shark)
As shepherds watch their haddock by night
Let it glow, by an anglerfish
I Wonder as I Flounder
It Came a Prawn a Midnight Clear
Ding Dugong Manatee on High
O Squiddle Town of Bethlehem
O Fishmas Reef
Bring Trout, Wild Bells

Maybe someday I'll be able to give some of these the illustrations they deserve. Or maybe some of you, dear readers, would like to give it a try?

A week ago today, I made a comic about the difficulty of reaching out to someone you care about but have lost touch with.

I've read what thousands of strangers have written as they shared it with their own friends and loved ones, and I wanted to collect it all into one big composite, a sort of crowd-sourced message of love and compassion.
Today, I made that message into a comic as well.

The above comic is a remake of this one from 2015.

In addition to the much-improved presentation and legibility, I've sharpened the wording.

Someday, I hope to do the same for more of these older comics.
