Un Joyeux Noël
it’s been a special kind of day.
i won’t get into the details, but i had hoped to have this up early today for all to enjoy, but i’ve been slammed by bad news, left, right, and centre today. but when i look at today’s comic it makes me smile, cause i’ve know i’ve got great friends out there to lean on if need be.
it’s been a long haul over the years with the squash. we’ve disappeared for months on end, and yet when we return we’ve been greeted with warmth and happiness. they say a laugh can go a long way. thank you all for sticking by us over the years. whether you’ve been here since day one or just arrived today i would like to extend a happy holiday to you and yours, full of joy and love, on behalf of rob and myself.
cheers,
ramón.

Ramon, this is a beautiful strip. I hope all the best for you here in 2010. Your undying fans are truly appreciative of this. Way to represent Watterson! Take hold of your own toboggan, and slide the slippery slope of life. Whoo!

a merry x-moose to both you and Rob! xoxo

I loved this one. It’s among your best strips, buddy, and the last panel is the clincher.
Merry Christmas!

Best holiday strip this year.

Bill Watterson would indeed be proud…as Hobbes, I think, would be proud of you, Ramon, in the strip. Hah, indeed.

Ah, just like the Calvin and Hobbes strips of old… thank you, and a very Merry Christmas to you.

Getting to read my long-time favourite webcomic on Christmas eve – I doubt things could get any better than this. Really made my day today. Thank you!
And a very happy Christmas to you all!

Brilliant. This may be my favourite BNS strip yet, if only for the nostalgia factor. Keep it up you two. Yours is a rare and true gift.
Merry Ho Ho.

Ramon, thank you for respecting Bill Watterson.
May I also say you look amazing with beard and scarf. Like a young and sexy Captain Haddock.

This strip helped make my holiday! I’ve been slammed by bad news and bad timing, so cheers to this comic! Hopefully there will be more posts in the new year

Merry Christmas, Happy belated Hanukkah, Season’s Greeting, and have a happy and safe holiday. Which means if you are deep in the eggnog please maintain that position on the sofa.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Krazy Kwanza, Festivus for the Restivus, Sparkling Solstice, Rousing Ramadan, a good sleep in ’cause the Christians gave us a day off and an enjoyable have a pint ’cause it’s the middle of the bloody winter to one and all!
This year seems to have treated you right sh!tty, Ramon.. thank goodness it’s almost over! Hope next year treats you as you deserve. (And I don’t mean that in the classic curse way!)

Wow, thanks for the insightful post. I look forward to reading more from you.

That’s awesome. The illustration in this comic has always kind of reminded me of Calvin and Hobbes (I first noticed it way back in that strip of Ramon dancing to P!nk) so this feels really appropriate.
