We've had countless meetups in countless places since this venture launched, but we've never had a simple Christmas bash.
Time to change that.
On Thursday, Dec. 19, from 6-8 p.m., we'll be getting our staff together at Mike's Beer Bar on the North Shore, and it wouldn't be a party without those who support us, so everyone -- I mean everyone -- is invited to partake. No catch. No cover charge. Just show up for what we hope will be a good time.
Wait, there is one catch: The wearer of the most interesting sweater, whether it's a Christmas sweater or not, will take home a complimentary holiday growler from Mike Sukitch himself. So bad taste is probably a prerequisite.
Also, we'll be passing out Lunatic bricks, mugs and other silliness for free, and we'll have copies for sale of Rob Ullman's 'Cartoon Canon' book!
Seriously, come on down! If nothing else, you get to meet Chris Carter!

HOLIDAY GIFTS!
For the first time, our holiday gift subscriptions are half-off, and we're offering three options:
1. Gift subscriptions. Again, these are half-priced annual subscriptions, meaning half off the usual $39.99. In addition, we'll get you a very special, original card -- illustrated by our own Rob Ullman -- customized to the team of your choice. And from there, you can either send the card yourself or print it out to accompany your gift. A rough sketch of his early work is above, featuring Bryan Reynolds and Cam Heyward.
2. Gift for yourself. Come on, let's not pretend these aren't your favorite kinds of gifts. If you haven't heard, our three-year Lunatic Level will be coming to an end Dec. 31. So if you'd like to extend your existing subscription -- regardless when it ends -- by a full additional three years, you can do so this month at the current price of $87.
3. H2P. Yes, of course, our Pitt subscriptions are still in the gift mix.
We've never made a secret that an enormous chunk of our annual revenue comes this time of year, so we're going to push hard. And we appreciate every bit of help you can offer, whether that's a share on Facebook, an RT on Twitter or especially a more personal word.
Thank you so much in advance for anything you do.
H2P PAST HALFWAY: 648
As of 12:01 a.m. Saturday, exactly five full weeks since the announcement that we're bringing back Pitt coverage, we've sold a total of 648 H2P Subscriptions. That includes 84 sold in the past week. The pace has picked up quite a bit, including a handful of bulk purchases.
Here's how to get yours.
