This one’s for my wife Shelagh—an eternal optimist. (In short, a Seattle Mariner’s fan.)
What? You thought I was the baseball fan in the family? Not likely!
But—for Shelagh’s sake—Go Mariners!

My pal Mike Pascale is back with another holiday treat. This time, though—instead of transforming some old romance art—Mike worked his magic on something (almost) new.
The original version of this art was drawn a few years by my longtime colorist Allen Freeman. Five points and a chocolate Easter egg–if you can find one–to everyone who can guess which holiday Allen originally had in mind!

Here are some of the past holiday collaborations that Mike and I have done.

George (right) beats people up for a living. No, he’s not not an insurance salesman.
He’s a boxer!
He’s a tough guy. He might even be the champ someday.
But does he stand a chance against his toughest opponent–his girlfriend?
