[Tavakai]

Yay, it's up! You're on time!

Link's not working, though.

EDIT:

No doubt I'd enjoy this a lot more if I'd read your comics, but oh well. The main thing I'd suggest is putting a frame around that window; its edges aren't very defined and I couldn't tell it was a window at first, looked more like some cloud of snowy essence.

But anyway, it's still pretty good. I liked the Batman transitions.

[Tapika]

It begins. Good work, Utah!

Now I need to get off my lazy posterior and actually make a comic now...

Hmn... or comics. In the tradition of yesteryear's, just in case others don't cough up.

[Tenebrae Invictus]

Wow, Joland must've had a good Christmas since he "killed" his "zombies".

Good comic Utah, and glad to see the Calendar's up!

[LNU n' Pinkie Pie]

Yayz! A calandar!

And a good start from Utah. You certainly have been waxing nostalgic lately.

Oh, and, um, at the bottom of the calandar, a wild Joland appears?

What's up with the big gaps in the calendar? Between each week, there's a big white space with a small ribbon of background in the middle...
Can't wait for more comics!

Make sure you have your browser at full size. The calendar is made out of a bunch of images arranged together, so when the browser isn't full size it squishes them out of order.

Aha, that's better. I had it zoomed in a little bit. Ctrl-0 is my friend.
Thanks LNU.

[Kazi the Matoran]

Oh yay, another calendar! I had a lot of fun doing last year's. I wonder what'll happen this year.

[Utah]

Well, I did see it when I got up. XD

Thanks to everyone who read (and possibly enjoyed) my comic!

@Tav: I agree, I definitely need to put a frame on that. Thanks for pointing that out!

I eagerly await everyone else's comics!

-Utah

[Vataki “Vahi” Teridax]

I was sort of wondering when this would be up. Glad you have it up and running now, Kahi.

@Utah: The last panel was really funny. "This is why I don't give you tacos before bed" was a bit random, but definitely funny. Good comic.

[lavaside rahi]

Woo! It's up! I'll have to check in on this as the month goes. Gotta get reacquainted with everyone's comics again.

Very nice calendar, Kahi! I really like the look of it, it's all classy...much nicer than that burnt orange I had last year.

And nice comic, Utah! If I recall correctly you were the first advent calendar comic last year too...anywho, I think your graphics have gotten better in the past year (and they were already pretty good to begin with)!

[Justax-Kal]

Hooray! Now December has really started!
"Mostly..." That was unarguably a wondrously hilarious punchline. And of course your signature stolen Batman Spin.

J-K out.

[BioCry]

Hm.

I have to zoom out in my browser to see the calender correctly... :/

[Kahi]

Hilarious comic, Utah. I loved the Batman swirl thing you had there =P

Anyhow, a new comic is up today: Atomic 009!

[Tenebrae Invictus]

Well then! Can't explain how he got tied up in the tree, hm?

Good comic as well, 009! Enjoying the graphics as usual, and I like the Merry Christmas thing at the end.

[WVUFan!]

Awesome comic from Utah. The "mostly" part really made the joke better.

And 009's comic was also really well made. Even though it was short it was still very enjoyable.

Lets Go Mountaineers!

[King Joe]

At Utah comic: Best holiday celebration EVER!!!
At 009 comic: .... I don't wanna know how it happened.

[Zerothemaster]

SWAG

009, why are you so awesome and I've barely heard your name bandied about?

Also, another classy kickstarter from Utah, but I do echo Tav's comment... it looks like there's a hole in the wall

[LNU n' Pinkie Pie]

You obviously don't understand. They have to have pictures of outside things because windows are too expensive.

I also have to echo Zero on 009. When the comic first pulled up, I thought, "Ah boy, another razor comic. "

But then I read it and there was much rejoicing. Highlights were obviously the swag bag, and the ending. I chuckled.

[Utah]

See, this is why I love being first. I open up the Calendar. And all the better people go ahead of me! ^~^

In this case, 009. I loved your comic! The "swag" bag was hilarious, as well as the being tied up in the tree. XD

Once again, I'd like to say thanks for everyone who enjoyed my comic. And for the constructive criticism!

-Utah

[Philipnova798]

Ah yes, 009. How long has it been?

Either way, I enjoyed the comic. And I don't want to know how it happened either.

[ATOMIC 009 In Space]

So mine's the second one, eh? That's good. Gets it out of the way quickly so it's shortness won't look as strange between two long strings of big long elaborate holiday spectacular comics.
Nevertheless, I'm happy to know that everybody liked my submission.
Fun Fact: I made the Swag Bag sprite months ago, and decided to use it in this Comic entirely on a whim to get out of making new bag sprites. Good to know that my laziness paid off in this case.

And really, it's probably for the best that no one knows how 009 got tied up in that tree. It's far too horrific for a Holiday Comic.

Also: Utah's was an excellent way to kick things off. The "Zombies" and "...Mostly" parts definitely made the whole thing for me.

[Justax-Kal]

Bag o' Swag. So cool it rhymes.
Once again, you manage to put the awesomeness back in Razor style. I love the snow gear accessories you gave them.

J-K out.

[Bulik]

wow.... just...... wow.....

that 2nd comic was amazing! it wasnt the funniest, but the quality of the scenery was amazing!
*subscribes to 009's comics*

[Tavakai]

This one kind of reminds me of this one Garfield comic where Garfield hugged the tree--except here, the tree seems to have hugged 009.

Happy December to you too!

[Kahi]

That was extremely awesome as always, Atomic009. The graphics and humor were top notch. I liked how you edited your background to fit the winter theme.

New comic, this time from Piraka~Mistika!

[Vataki “Vahi” Teridax]

I was singing that in my head while reading the comic.

It was quite amusing when the group of people were singing, because I actually heard a group of people singing in my head...

I should get help. Great comic.

I did the exact same thing!!!
Anyway, a very humorous reworking of an old favorite song.

We need to start a club now. So many voices! So much song!

Santa apparently knows his sincerity is fake. lol. Once again, another good comic.

Kahi, why'd you remove the characters at the bottom of the calendar?

What would we call it? The "Sings comical versions of Popular songs while reading a comic containing said comical variation, all while hearing backup singers in our heads" club?
And I just notice in T-N said, why you no put characters on the bottom Kahi?

[The Venom]

Utah: Those backgrounds confuzzled me a bit. @_@
But hey, good comic anyway! Always stick to zombie-killing tradition.

009: Like your latest work that I've seen, your Christmas comic really impressed me.
Again, nice to see Razor return, and I still love the background graphics in general.
Last panels actually got a chuckle out of me. XP

P~M: That's a nice little Christmas Carol parody you have there.
T'was a good comic as well, I liked the cleverness in some of the lines.
It looked pretty good overall, no graphic complaints.

I'm glad to see our second Advent Calender up,
once again bringing together the unique styles of our comic makers.

I was singing that too... I'm beginning to worry for that tiny, almost non-existent entity I refer to as my sanity. Others don't refer to it as that, though. They don't think it exists. (They may be right)

I'm just glad I wasn't the only one who did that. All the comics so far have been pretty good. Can't wait to see more.

[Makuta of Comedy]

Day three was great. I like the changes that was made on the song, it was hilarious.

[LNU n' Pinkie Pie]

And we get a well done parody from PM. Good job. I especially liked the part where you said "He knows when you are sleeping" and you wer in your bed freaking out. That's how I always felt after hearing that song.

Oh, and thanks also to The Venom, whom I missed in the multiquote.

I really like the other comics as well, especially Utah's (no offense to 009 ).

Song parodies are always great. I liked how you didn't actually have to change much of it to alter the effect of the song. Good job!

[Tenebrae Invictus]

Wow, what a fantastic Christmas Chath's comics must've had.

Though, one little problem I had was the look of the pole or whatever that is at the very end of the comic.
