Advent Calendar of Awesomeness! I am setting it to advance-post for tomorrow, so check back for that and the final, finished advent calendar.

Here's today's Santa! It's... Paul Erdős Santa!
This one's for
my Dad, who has an
Erdős number of

1. I have provided illustrations for various of my Dad's books and lectures over the years, and so I have arbitrarily decided that this means I have an Erdős number of 2. If you have no idea what Erdős numbers are, there was a little piece on the subject on a recent episode of the wonderful podcast
Radiolab, or you can just, y'know,
look on wikipedia or something.
And to the 99.9% of regular readers of this blog who I have just completely baffled / alienated: it'll be mutant crabs or zombie pirate lizard-men or something again tomorrow, promise.

Hey, shall we open today's door on the
Advent Calendar of Awesomeness?
It's... Giant Robot Santa! I had a feeling he might show up.
Giant Robot Santa actually visited our house early this year, and brought with him the best Christmas present imaginable, which is the news that my comic
Mo-Bot High is going to be published in a collected edition in 2010 by David Fickling Books / Random House. To say I'm excited would be woefully inadequate - I'm doing everything I can to make sure this is the best-looking and most crammed-full-of-awesomeness book I can possibly manage.
More details in the new year! And another Santa tomorrow!

Here is today's extra-Old-School
Santa-of-the-Day!
Captain Winston Bulldog, star of
Jason Cobley's long-running UK small press comic Bulldog Adventure Magazine, and star of some of the first comics I ever drew. That did not involve binmen swearing, anyway.
Another Santa tomorrow!

Here's today's extra-autobiographical
Santa-of-the-Day!
This is the first one that feels authentically Christmassy to me.
Another Santa tomorrow!
