The Generic Holiday Comic
This Comic's Cast:
I feel weird doing commentaries on comics I just made, but since Supplementals just sorta happen sporadically, there's no point in delaying on them.
There's been a lot of fuss this year about people saying "Happy Holidays" instead of a specific holiday Greeting, like "Merry Christmas," or "Happy Boddie Day" (Buddhist, although I doubt I spelled it right). That's the inspiration for the comic.
Personally, having grown up in a truly non-denominational house, I sorta see the holiday for what it represents: a day to feast and celebrate the end of the year before the food stores start running low and some people start dying. Call it what you will, that's what the end of the year is, and why all sorts of religions have feast days around it.
Do I care if people say Christmas to me? Naw. Some of my family members are Christian, and besides, Christianity is the largest religion in the world currently. You've got a better than 50% chance of being right if you say "Merry Christmas" to someone.
On the flip, should people care if they get greeted by "Happy Holidays" when they are Christian? Well, I don't honestly think so. To quote Jon Stewart of the Daily Show: "we could say 'Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,' but some people have shit to do." Everyone just needs to chill.

When evil spreads across the land, and darkness rises and the monsters roam. When the creatures of the night make beautiful music, and the things that go bump in the night go bump with greater enthusiasm. When the world is in peril and is in need of a hero...
These guys are, sadly, the best the world can hope for. These are the adventures of the heroes of CVRPG. They mean well, they try hard, and occasionally they do the impossible...
They actually do something heroic.
