This one just sort of came to me...Downfall's holiday strips tend to be really cynical or depressing, and while I think next week's will surprise people, I still wanted one to stay in that vein.
Seriously though, it's all in good fun, I'm not trying to provoke indignant emails.
This marks the 2nd appearance of Chip's niece, I believe, and the first time we've seen his sister Kim.
The background is something I have tried a little bit before, a digitally manipulated photo. I really didn't feel like drawing a simplified X-mas tree, it'd end up looking like some kindergartner's holiday project. So that's my house and tree, for those of you creepily interested.
Been awhile since we have really seen Chip, though I have plans for him in 2010. Never pays to put much stock in that though, as I get so quickly bored with ideas that half of them never come to pass. I can never plan things out too far in advance, because better ideas always seem to come along. Or at least ideas that are easier to draw.
