Charlotte and I stayed up last night to watch the new episodes. We enjoyed them immensely but have no idea how they’re going to wrap this all up in 2 hours and 8 minutes.

Want to read about some great comics this Christmas Eve? Well, you can, as I handed out awards to my favorite comics of 2025, including @beetlemoses.bsky.social, @zandercannon.bsky.social's Sleep, @nickdragotta.bsky.social and @iamdavidbrothers.com Good Devils: Don't Play Fair With Evil, and more.

Santa brought Barry a stuffed baguette.

Continuing our tradition of getting the girls graphic novels for Christmas. @comicbookyeti.com @matthewdowsmith.bsky.social @peposed.bsky.social @maverickogn.bsky.social @papercutzgn.bsky.social

I don’t know about your spouses/partners but Sarah wins Christmas for making Penny and the Yeti stickers and getting me a can of mushy peas (which I haven’t had since I was in London in 2012). Check these stickers out, Amber! @almondmilkart.bsky.social @papercutzgn.bsky.social

Oh look what came in the mail today! It’s a Merry Christmas indeed!!! @wellsthomp.bsky.social

At my in-laws for Christmas Eve and my wife, brother-in-law, and mother-in-law are screaming at each other about Emily in Paris, a show I know nothing about, but am enjoying this nonsense.

After Christmas, I'll be scheduling as many interviews/podcasts/YouTube shows I can for Penny and the Yeti. If you want to chat about comics, lawyering, tv, movies, musical theatre, or sandwiches, let me know & let me know the shows/podcasts I should reach out to. Thank you & Merry Christmas. 🔗👇

Don’t forget to throw on today’s new episode of the Cryptid Creator Corner with guest @trevoramueller.bsky.social while you hastily wrap those last minute Christmas gifts you picked up.

We name EVERYTHING DEAD & DYING by @tatebrombal.bsky.social, @thatjacobphillips.bsky.social, Pip Martin & Aditya Bidikar, & published by @imagecomics.com, one of the Best Comics of 2025. Listen to #TheStampies (Part One) to hear our other faves from the year: cbccpodcast.podbean.com/e/the-stampi...

Time for my favorite movie.

Christmas Eve happens to also be New Comic Book Day and your local shop would love to see you in. And you'd love to have your comics with you over the holiday. Acme Comics is on hand for you from 10AM until 1PM. The comics industry kind of of has a big week for you so time for me to start reading!

A silly little thing I like to do is find videos like this and send them to my brother.

What’s your favorite non-traditional or modern Christmas songs? Mine are Fairytale of New York by The Pogues and Same Old Lang Syne by Dan Fogelberg.

JUST ANNOUNCED: Futility Shapes will return in 2026!!! Join the hunt for Adam here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/nya... @df3ink.bsky.social @robjoneswrites.bsky.social

Should I do one of those most anticipated comics of 2026 lists? For indie and crowdfunded comics?

Everyone should pre-order this.

Today, I'm handing out SKTCHD AWRDS to 25 of my favorite Comics of 2025, ranging from @beetlemoses.bsky.social and Hirayasumi to Lil' Burgers and Good Devils: Don't Play Fair with Evil. This piece is open to non-subscribers.

You know what, I said @byrononeal.com can make his own list, but I'll put together a thread of my favorite Byron-hosted episodes. See below. Maybe listen while you're wrapping gifts? @comicbookyeti.com

So far for 2025, @comicbookyeti.com has put out 110 podcast episodes. Here's a thread of some of my favorites. If you came on the show this year & I didn't include your episode please don't be offended it just means you weren't my favorite & you should try harder next time. Merry Christmas!

Just a lil’ ramble about hosting free publishing events all year, and what I learned doing it. We can all make this industry a little better. It just costs you your time. open.substack.com/pub/ericsmit...

Happy Holidays! It’s a brand new Cryptid Creator Corner as @jimmygaspero.bsky.social welcomes @trevoramueller.bsky.social onto the podcast to talk about Bat Pat, the upcoming Secret S.T.E.A.M. Society books, and so much more! @papercutzgn.bsky.social @adamwallenta.bsky.social 🔗👇🏽

Such a great episode. 2025 was a great year for comics. @sidewalksiren.bsky.social saying reading really sad comics like Everything Dead & Dying by @tatebrombal.bsky.social & @thatjacobphillips.bsky.social changes the weather of your heart got me. Go listen then go read some great comics.

A little early gift for all of you... KS launching on 01/20/26: SINK YOUR TEETH IN #1. A sapphic vampire noir following Corsica Smith, a disgraced Chicago PI working for scraps, who finds herself embroiled in a dangerous conspiracy. www.kickstarter.com/projects/dea...

In an effort to catch up on comics I backed on Kickstarter I read this today from @robpilk.com @hvon.bsky.social @jayboy495.bsky.social & @odysseycomics.bsky.social The estranged granddaughter of a rock legend inherits a crossroads demon. This was a lot of fun! Heather’s art was perfect for this.

@luisgodoyii.bsky.social and James Albon sit down for the latest @comicbookyeti.com interview over #LoveLanguages, out now through @topshelfcomix.bsky.social. Check out their conversation at the link below! www.comicbookyeti.com/post/james-a...

I have no ambitions of writing for the Big Two, but if ever given the opportunity I’d at least pitch for Absolute Deadman or Absolute Jarro.

Happy holidays. As a gift from me to you, the following thread is the recipe for Baja Blast Pie. Bring it to your family gatherings.

Daniel Stern deserved an Oscar for his physical comedy performance in Home Alone 2.

Barry rings the bells a couple of times a night just to go outside and sit in the cold. I miss sleeping through the night.

I also owe a debt of gratitude to @comicuno.bsky.social & @philfalcowrites.bsky.social who were the first to publish anything I had written. I've also been encouraged & inspired by the work of @peposed.bsky.social @jeremywhitley.bsky.social @davescheidt.com @jenniewoodndid.bsky.social

Sleepy boy.

Watching the Eagles game and Sarah just keeps repeating “Who’s Tank Bigsby!?!?”

In case you missed it, on today’s new episode of @comicbookyeti.com Cryptid Creator Corner podcast I spoke to @daydreamcomix.com & @admancomics.bsky.social about WHO KILLED SARAH SHAW? and the new story on Adam’s Patreon I JUST CAME FROM HELL.

Bobby stopped over today with an early Christmas present.

I did it! Book no. 50 for the year. Becky Chambers can’t miss. I really enjoyed this.

Sarah and the girls nailed our annual mall Christmas ornament.

Just a quick reminder that we’re making a whip-smart gay romcom about love, unusual crime, and hating weird billionaires and you should really preorder it

It’s Omelette Man Day at the office!

Is the data "high quality" or the penis?

Book no. 49 for the year is A Quantum Love Story by my favorite writer @mikechenwriter.bsky.social This broke my heart, but it’s so good. 2 people stuck in a time loop and maybe falling in love. 10/10.

This is the closest thing I’ve got to a Christmas post @comicbookyeti.com this year. Peter Milligan and Kieran McKeown stop by to talk about #TheDiscarded, now appearing in @2000ad.bsky.social Remember to curb your senseless consumerism this holiday season! www.comicbookyeti.com/post/the-dis...
