Title: Merry Christmas
Post by: Netasha on December 12, 2012, 12:41:19 PM

I just want to wish all the staff, contributers and fellow users a Very Merry Christmas and All the Best in the New Year. (I love the banners). Thank you so much for all the hard work you all do to keep this site as great as it is.  I dont know what I would do with out my daily voyage into my youthful past and pleasures of reading comics as they were meant to be.  As artistic as todays are they can never compete with these vintage beauties of bygone days. I can't wait for all the "new" books to download in the coming year. 
Again a Safe-Merry Merry and Happy Happy everyone.
Cheers Netasha

It's for people like you that DCM exists and scanners everywhere do their hard work on scanning these gems before they fade from existance.
We'd like to also thank-you again for all your financial support of the site.  We sincerley appreciate it.

Stay tuned - we're planning another big update on Christmas Day!

Just for completeness, everybody do keep in mind that, like comics of the day, "Christmas" for us is more of a shorthand of "the winter holiday and/or festival of your choice but old comics rarely show so much as a hanukkia."

So, in no particular order, Happy...

• Hanukkah

• Dongzhi

• Soyal

• Yalda

• Kwanzaa

• Pancha Ganapati

• Old New Year

• birthdays of Ali Jinnah and those Sikh gurus I've never gotten right

• Taiwanese Constitution Day

• Junkanoo

• Thai Pongal

• Makar Sankranti

• Uduvapa Poya

• Seva Zistane

• Beaivi (deep gasping breath...), and
• the winter solstice.

(Oh, and the assorted recent advent of humanist, secular, and satirical holidays celebrated on or round Christmas Day, and the amorphous month and a half that various sects celebrate as Christmas.)

If you're offended at the short shirft, then you can help by developing a cute, public domain cartoon mascot to pervert your favorite wiinter festival into a crass, commercial affair.  And remember that, if we tried to celebrate them all, we'd never get any comics posted.
