Strange Brew from one year ago today. Hmmmm.
The first of two Bizarro panels dated December 17 (the other will appear on the 17th itself). This one is from back in 2009:
This panel is notable also because it is the rare Bizarro installment in which Dan Piraro did not include any of his "secret symbols".
In an attempt to spread the Christmas-themed toons across the month, here is the first of several Diamond Lil strips, from December 11 of last year, in which Stupid the Bird undertakes a typical holiday pursuit, with the typical (for him) results:
The sequel to yesterday's Peanuts strip, from today in 1969:
A two-part 1969 Peanuts set today and tomorrow featuring Woodstock (before he was called that) and Snoopy.
Final update:
YOU collectively gave us $13.6K in response to this Challenge Grant. That's about enough for a week's worth of vet bills at our current rates! THANK YOU all from the bottom of our hearts. We hope you all enjoy a very merry holiday season.
In honor of Mickaboo's 20th Anniversary, a generous benefactor has offered a $4000 Challenge Grant! All donations today, received online or at Mickaboo's Holiday Party, will qualify for a 50% match. Let's use it up! You may use either mickaboo.org or PayPal.me/Mickaboo to give online.
Your financial support helps us help birds like Morado, a Mexican red-headed amazon. Morado was found outside as a stray, kept for a time by the good samaritan who found her, and ultimately surrendered to Mickaboo. Though not yet hand tame she will accept treats from a hand. She enjoys listening to music, like the theme to Disney's Robin Hood, and whistling along. Fun fact: Morado is a foodie! She prefers to eat her fresh vegetables mixed with a tiny dab of hummus, tomato sauce, potato soup, quinoa, or curry sauce.
You may learn more about Morado and inquire about adopting her here.
Thank you again for your support for the last 20 years, and in the years to come!
We start the month with a Ziggy panel. Rather than being a reprint, I'm convinced this one was new on December 2, 2015, since it plays off the title of the movie "50 Shades of Grey" which had been released earlier that year:
To end the month, an old Speed Bump (November 23, 2011) with a very human parallel:
WuMo from two years ago today. Ummm, yeah.
