One of my best buddies, Paul Dini, is among those highly-responsible for some fine cartoon shows that have emanated from Warner Brothers Animation, lo these last few years. More recently, he has combined his two main interests in life — Christmas and Women Who Mean Trouble — to create Jingle Belle, daughter of Santa and star of her own, occasionally-issued comic book from the fine folks at Oni Press. You can read all about her (and even see what she's up to at this very moment, via webcam) by visiting her fun-filled website. Here's the link! And do yourself have a Merry Christmas, whenever that holiday actually is. Around Paul, it seems to be all the time.

Forget all previous tips here about how to get your daily dose of syndicated comic strips via the Internet. Andy Ihnatko has the answer, at least for those of whose faves are among the 120+ strips carried online by the San Jose Mercury-News. You want to visit their website by clicking here, then sign up for what they call a "passport" (it's free) which will allow you to build your personal funnies page of only the comics you want. Thereafter, it's a piece o' cake to log in and get your fix. Thanks, Andy!

I mean, they couldn't call it that unless they were honest, right? Anyway, thanks to everyone for your patronage and if you keep spreading the word, I'll keep sticking up stuff you might want to read.
