'Tis the season for giving and, lest I ignore reality entirely, 'tis also the season for getting. So what do you say? Shall we not give each other the gift of books?
I'll start. Feel free to follow.
To Brother Neely, a copy of Merton's The Seven Storey Mountain:
To JuniperWolf, fellow comics enthusiast, a copy of R. Crumb's latest magnum opus:
To Scheherazade, few libraries carry this worthy book. Enjoy!
To skib, Ride on!
“Oh crap”
-- Hellboy
Yay! Thanks Comedian! Hmmm... I've got to think about this one for a while.
But we DO need a tree to put the presents under, and a hearth to sit by. Here:

A tree, excellent idea!

Haha, Blankets was pretty good, and I'm not even that big of a comic fan.

Yay, I love Christmas! There's something beautiful and simple about giving things to others. Yes I'm a cultural cliche, but how can my nostaligia hold it back?

Sounds kind of dry - I think I could probably write it better. Though Brando is now dead, so no getting him to sign onto my movie contractOriginally Posted by Virgil
Hahaha, what a great idea for a thread.
How about this for JBI:
Probably. I have no idea what it's about. It's the title that made think it would be perfect for you.

Well, I've thought long and hard.
For The Comedian:
A knife, for all of it's various uses.
Flint and steel.
And...
These three things are really all the material goods that you'll ever need (that and a few dozen comics, but I figure you've already got that one covered).
For Mono
So that you can keep in touch. Where the hell did you go?
For Rimbaud
Every Rimbaud fan needs...
Hiking boots, for wandering endless roads.
A pipe, to aid in contemplation.
And...
Absinthe, for fun.
For OrphanPip
An electron microscope. Call it a cheap little graduation present.
For fun.
For JBI
To help you to reconnect to your Canadian roots, I give you:
For Virgil
I thought that you might like this. It's just a little something that I painted in my spare time.
And...
Just in case.
For Mathor:
My friend with good taste, I think you'd appreciate this classic album.
If you haven't seen it, I think you'll love it. It's pretty epic.
For Babbalanja:
If this doesn't help you out with that sense of humor, I don't know what will.
And for The Atheist:
I saw this in the store, and I thought of you immediately.
Try it on; I think it'll suit you.
