Hi everybody. I hope everyone who celebrates Christmas had a good one.

I am sure most of you are already familiar with Child's Play. For those who are not, it is a charity set up by Gabe and Tycho from Penny Arcade. Its goal is to provide games, toys, and entertainment to children in hospitals. The charity is doing exceedingly well but there will always be more sick children and they will always need more donations.

I was a sick child myself. I spent a lot of time at Riley Children's Hospital in Indianapolis and thanks to their fantastic care I am here today, able to bring you these silly comics. But I know firsthand how rough it can be for a kid in the hospital with nothing to do. Tonight I discovered that Riley has a Child's Play Amazon Wishlist where anyone who wishes to do so can purchase an item and have it sent to the hospital.

I urge you to take a look at that list and see if there's something you might like to buy for a child. Or check out the Child's Play homepage to find a hospital that may be more significant to you, or click on that Paypal button to send in a donation. It doesn't have to be much; even a few dollars here and there will add up.

My sincere thanks to anyone who chooses to help in whatever way. Thank you for helping to bring a little bit of cheer into a painful experience. May the new year treat you well. Thanks for listening.

And they return by the promise of maturity without displaying one of their own.

Predictable.



EDIT:

Will do a member list cleaning for meltfire by 31st. So be warned.

It being Christmas Eve and all, I was thinking of this Christmas story and drew it up. I meant to draw it nicer, but didn't get time.  It's about family.

( under the cut, because it's big )


If it helps to understand it better, I am the second oldest of four girls.

Merry Christmas, everyone! To you and yours.

( Saw this meme floating around, and it got me curious... )

EDIT:

I think it's because I don't celebrate it I lost track of time...but....




OMG I HAVEN'T FINISHED THE DDxV DOUJIN FOR CHRISTMAS YET ASJLGDHGAJGHH!!! *dies*

My friend Emmy made a shocking discovery recently; someone in Japan is totally ripping off my comic! Fortunately she has a friend who knows a little bit of Japanese so he helped translate it into English. It's a little rough but it gets the idea across. Still, can you believe this??

A Scottish cartoon, since I am back home for the holidays.

I'm well acquainted with the tune "Lord Lovat's Lament," since you hear it around these parts every time anyone has to pick up a fiddle and learn something. But you know, it's one of those tunes you know so well, you pay no attention to it, it's just there in the back of your head.

Then one day, I was looking up a bunch of works by Hogarth (the best) and came upon this portrait of 'Lord Lovat'. The lovely old tune and that devily face, they didn't match. So I wanted to learn more about him!

Lovat (Simon Fraser, born 1697 - there are about a million Simon Fraser Lord Lovats) really epitomizes how reading Scottish history can make you want to tear your eyeballs out, or laugh because it's nearly a farce it's so nutty. Either the people involved are disastrously loyal, or disastrously duplicitous. Everything is a disaster, but it's a hell of a ride.

I am back from CF09.

And I will transfer all the pictures and do the summary blabber talk about CF tonight or something after I had some decent food other than chocolate and nuts.

MISS YOU ALL, MY PRETTIES ;o;

Doodling. The eternal struggle continues!

EDIT:

Some holiday comics! The Kiss Elves return.

Oh and I am posting journal type comics on twitter sometimes. If you are on twitter I am @beatonna

friends only. <3

It's getting colder here, so I decided to draw a sexy beach picture to ward off the snow. Enjoy!
