Christmas '09 by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

My 13th submission to DYOS XI. [link]
Special Musical Guest: Tom Kenny et al.

This was the most ambitious Christmas special I'd attempted, to the point that I missed releasing it on Christmas Eve by a mere four hours' work out of I don't know how long. Originating from comparing @GenMarshall and Stylesrj's dynamic to Spongebob, Patrick and Squidward, as I started the project in earnest it expanded to encompass the entire community. It was a splurge based on what turned out to be the accurate prediction that I would lose time to work on DYOS in later years, and was at the time of release my longest hand-drawn comic at three-and-a-half pages. While I would make considerably longer comics in future, I deem this one of my all-time favourites.

This features cameos from all of the then-contributing forumers and some from DYOS X. Guests of honour: Captain2, choxorn, CivCube, CivGeneral, CurtSibling, Darth Vader (on behalf of Zarn), Huayna Capac357, Kan' Sharuminar, kill fire, kulade, lord_joakim, Louie (on behalf of GuitarHero), Lucifer (on behalf of @Danimarion), mythmonster2, Perfection, SpongeBob (on behalf of E350tb), Stylesjl, Stylesrj, SuperBeaverInc., taillesskangaru, and yours truly.
