When a young curmudgeon named Angus Frump doubts the magic of Christmas he gets a much-needed visit from jolly St. Nick himself! Unfortunately Angus mistakes his midnight visitor for a prowler and kills him with a shotgun. Now Angus Frump must face justice—Santa Land justice!
Thanks Mookie. Better late than never :P
This was so funny!

Very funny. Clever writing and the art work was perfect for the story.

Steve, congratulations on excellent work. Well done this month. Angus Frump is funny stuff. Here's to a Happy 2009! Best! - Rob
Glad to see you back in the contest Steve. I enjoyed both of your comics here, and was really impressed by the difference in style. You got 5/5 stars and a fav from me.
**********************************************************
Everything fit really well, the art, colors, story, letters easy to read. Angus is such a little S.O.B., the story made me think of south park, -it's so wrong (kid kills Santa), but so funny. I normally don't like humor comics that much, but this one really got to me.
*********************************************************
SCREEN 1 We start off with an establishing shot, and thanks for that. Santa nailed to a cross of credit cards, I loved the symbolism (so true), and I loved the teachers reactions. The art style you used here really fit the story so well. I loved the layout of the screens throughout.
**********************************************************
SCREEN 2 A T.J. Hooker joke, I couldn't help but laugh. Christmas finds you like of faith... Muppets... great lines. The dialogue you have throughout the comic is great, but the words spoken between the little psycho and his dad are the best, -I love their interaction. It was funny, but had a more to the story element about it. Really impressive. My fav panel was panel 3 I really liked the way you framed it.
************************************************************
SCREEN 3 The okay wiseman speech was like a funny version of the Ezekiel speech from Pulp Fiction. Some of the smartest and funniest dialogue on Zuda. 12 gauge pixie stick, lol a classic line if ever their was one. A great job on the colors for this one, and in you panel composition.
**********************************************************
Screen 4 "This is your last warning fat man" again a classic line. The way you set-up the shot better not... POOM! was great. The cancer/skinhead next door was such a funny line, I hope you keep going with this comic elsewhere your dialogue is just so sharp and witty. Maybe shadowline will give your web comic a home after the contest.
*********************************************************
SCREEN 5 The sequence in panels 2,3,4,5, was great. The looks on the cop's face was brilliant. Panel 6 'in the shadow of the Christmas tree' after killing Santa was so well done. The peter falk look-a-like saying then there's still hope take that homosexual agenda in our schools, was another sharp biting, funny cool as hell line.
************************************************************
SCREEN 6 panel 3 "mommyyyyyy", great gag. I thought he would blend in with the display, the dad is so funny. Ofcourse I like the set-up of Angus's words coming back to haunt him in the next screen.
************************************************************
SCREEN 7 i loved the snow man characters, and their lines about the body being a tip off. I think the dad is the funniest character you have in this comic, the goldbergs finally did it -cue laughter. The father shows you were the son got it from.
************************************************************
SCREEN 8 Great character designs throughout, and another sharp funny line, about we know when you've been sleeping, so manslaughter won't slip under our radar. I also liked how the reindeer looked so pissed in panel 4. The cuffs being candy was a great joke to end on. Really awesome job throughout.
**********************************************************
It's not seasonal, it's kick arse all the way!!!
Thanks snake and rudis. I think the holiday theme just makes it seem like a limited kind of thing.
I find the fact that this isnt in the top four astonishing
I relate to this comic a billion percent i hate santa claus, always have. any comic where SATAN claus gets murdered gets five stars and a fave from me!
well that's appropriate
Your interview goes up on the 24th.
Dear Zuda Competitors/Creators,
I’m the creator of the Zuda fan blog, and I would love to interview all of this month’s creators. If you would be willing to answer 5-10 questions, to be posted on the Zudafan blog, please contact me at: zudafan@gmail.com.
Feel free to check out the blog: zudafan.blogspot.com
Thanks!

free cotton candy? i'm a sucker for free food.
Cotton candy!
Thanks Frequent
Heh heh heh. ^^ I find this terribly amusing. ^^
Oh, Christ, this is funny. The dad is the best part; too bad it looks like he's going to be out of the strip for awhile. I also really liked Santa's over-the-shoulder expressions and dialogue, and the NPPD is genius. Nice, clear art, and I could "hear" Angus slurring through his braces when I read his lines. I was mildly disturbed that a kid had access to a shotgun, but otherwise, really fantastic.
Steve, don't side with Steve just because of your names. My army can offer you free cotton candy whenever you want. It's like what Nathan on that Heroes promo says "you'll have to pick a side".
Come on, Peter Petrelli, who will it be? Cotton candy, or no cotton candy?
Thanks Steve.
In terms of story... I see more story in these 8 pages than in most Zuda competitors' entries. more than my Colonel McTagart from May anyway.
Then I guess it's war Bryymiller.
Actually I'm not saying story means nothing. Obviously it's important. To me it's just of secondary importance in a humor comic. But that doesn't mean I totally disregard it.
Steve,
One point I disagree with you on is the importance of story in a joke comic. I believe that story is equal to a joke comic.
This is a pretty good concept. Seems to be pretty funny too. Although I must say after the Christmas season ends it's appeal will start to wane. Although it is still pretty good none the less. 4/5 stars and a fav.
MPD57 lives! And Guffaws! It truly is a Christmas miracle.
And yeah I think you're right Sam. I'm not sure anyone has ever jumped from 7th to 1st in Zuda history. I'm guessing the Accountants is going to run away with it this month. Which I don't mind. It's a funny comic.
Hmph. I just realized it's only December 9th. The month is young! You can still pull this thing out. All we need's a Christmas miracle! Too bad you killed Santa...
Well, the blue light was my baby and the red light was my mind and all my vote's in vain. Kinda looks like Angus won't be winning the big red ribbon this time dagnabbit. Any plans to continue this elsewhere or make another run at Zuda with something else? Here's hoping.

And say...look who's back from internet exile....
@Stevapaloosa: Great comic, made me gufaw! But no one fills my void and gets away with it ;-)
Man, this deserves higher. And this is coming from the type of person that hates any story that is holiday themed. Hopefully people will start noticing more and you guys'll jump up there.
Great job! Awesome comedy. I want to see that Santa Land justice!
Ah, this is the perfect holiday treat! Engaging and fun (and just a touch creepy). I agree with BTimony and Caanan -- "hilarious." My favorite so far : D
Thanks guys. And thanks Gnar, I wrote that line just for you!
Illnest- thanks for the kind words. Now that Webcomics Witchfinder is down I think your blog will fill the void nicely.
Laughed Aloud at your High Concept & Intro Pic, then Really Laughed @ the 12 Ga. Pixie Stick Line!( As I scanned backwards, it made me laff again.) Good Stuff.

enjoyable and a little weird. feels pretty complete to me, but nicely done!
Yeah that was my thinking too. I figured even if it didn't win it would make for a nice holiday treat.
Great stuff! Not sure if this can win or will work well as an ongoing series into the spring, but for a short 8 page December yarn, it was perfect. Nice job and best of luck!
to funny lolol
Great work!! Love it
The comedy is great. Very well done, and it's a quite welcome break from the dark horror stories that we see month after month. The bright colors, the character designs... we need more of stuff like this.
I'm not a huge fan of some of the character designs but love the colour choices and the comedic timing is very good. This is one of the two I would probably vote for if I wasn't voting for my own entry of course. lol
Best of luck stevapalooza!
Great writing! Smart, funny, moves along nicely. The art goes well with everything too. I have no doubts you can carry this concept, story, and characters to so many great places. I hope you win. I can always use a good genuine laugh.
Great work hon. Your cousin Carolyn sent me to check it out! Good luck! You got my vote! Judy
steven, good job! i love you and support your amazing work... keep it up - krissy
Great work!
love your style =)
