How The Abominable Snowman Saved Xmas

How an Abnormally Large and Hairy Snowbeast Saved the Holidays!

So while we’ve done two holiday battles previously I’ve never officially announced them as an annual tradition so dammit I’m doing it now! Previously there was Santa Vs Krampus and then last year we did The Christmas Elf And now old Abominable is number 3! And 3rd annual things are about the peak of annual things as the 4th one will prolly just be kinda industrial and remixy… So you best hop on this train while the getting’s good ๐Ÿ˜‰

We all know the old Rudolph specials. My fav being the one the Bumble Beast (aka abominable snowman) gets a lil dentisting done, helps to save the holidays with some teamwork and ends up due to his abnormally large size, getting to top the tree with the star… So that’s sorta the base of your challenge…

But consider this if you will…there are a hell of a lot of ways to ruin xmas one of my favorite examples being the story where my old boss’s sister’s boyfriend locked himself in the only bathroom in the house for most of the holiday because someone questioned his wannabe Jack Wagner-esque music career! In that case, I assume the beast could calmly whisper through the door hostage negotiator like, or simply smash and kill, or hell maybe he goes for a bigger save, bails on that family gives his employee, scheduled to work, the day off and goes to buy a f’ing goose! I cant control what you draw, I can only ask that you make it festive and fun!

“With Christmas around the corner and Santa feeling rough about his newly developed two left hand swollen forearm syndrome, the Abominable Snowman rigged the yearly Decembrous Strongman Competition for Santa to win, giving him the extra balls he needed to do it up for Christmas.” – haha! I’m just letting this lil bit of genius ride!

Haha so while I’m pretty sure it’s not the case I’m kinda cracking up with the concept that we’re starting our 2014 Holiday Special with a Yeti with dueling “tree boners”!

“I don’t know what this is exactly but here you go!” – I get it, totally like Unicorns pooping rainbows! Its a beast so full of holiday spirit he spreads it the most effective way he can. And! Contrasted with the bleak, spiritless and icey backdrop, in quite the visually striking manner!

“The Abominable Snowman says “Hello! I am cool!” Because he came to the rescue dropping Xmas toys down the chimney!” – I forget how young this artist is but I know as he gets older he’ll realize Ol’ Abominable doesn’t even need to share presents to be cool…he just is! That is a great giant hand btw!

A lil fire, a lil bloodshed, a very handsome and snowbeast with humorous digit quantities and an elf poking a jolly corpse with a stick! I was sold before I even saw the fit of those santa pants! Bravo!

It’s possible that this is a less than common holiday issue but I’ve watched Conan way more times than is healthy! and So I’ll just say “Thank You SnowBeast!”

I’m in the middle of a compilation of Lovecraft inspired shorts for my holiday read, and it keeps reminding me that I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for ageless horrors beyond description from the inky and endless abyss! Though in this case, I bet that’s fruity candy-cane all over his teeth!

So I cant say for sure if mr abominable is about to fight ol’ Kramps or if in fact we are watching the formation of what could be the ultimate xmas buddy movie team… or hell it could be both, but, regardless, i know i like it!

Now is it just me or is anyone else getting the feeling that snow beats’ expression says “yes i rescued you from an obvious alien assault, but mostly because you look so blasphemously delicious!”

As a funny coincidence I have Dead Snow 2 queued up for my post holiday weekend watch! Good vaguely 3d Colecovision game style layout on this one, I can almost hear the 8 bit snowballs crunching down that hill!

Rapture! it’s not just for Kirk Cameron anymore! God I love me a good casual fine line but offset crosshatching!

So the Snowbeast here is obviously a metaphor for our shallow view that success is measured by how much money we can throw at a holiday without actually putting any thought behind it … that or our Snowbeast has a Scarran heat ray!

Man this one most definitely saving the holiday with incredible buttocks! well I’ll give it a lil bit of faith and incredible buttocks, but incredible buttocks have to be part of the equation!

I mean I suppose teen wolf already covered the “how hard it is to cover a well haired and supernaturally athletic beast on the basketball court” thing but i’d watch it again especially if said Snowbeast wears what appears to be a Sailor Moon costume?

So sadly, seems a hell of a lot of our designclub had to die to save xmas but my favorite parts are the painting of future cars from E smiths office, the fact that my wifes yoga giraffe is “taking the pot” and that while he’s a lil worried about holiday beasts being to family oriented for the schlong sticking out of cody’s stocking, our artist has no issues representing your humble host with a stocking full of sh*t, blood and flies!

Dammit I love when you kids pull out the paints! (its the translucency of the medium that makes it most like real life you know!) Plus this is a rare cooperative effort from two of our artists and if that doesn’t say holiday spirit well then I don’t know what does!

You know if it weren’t for the bird this would make for a man fine ice cream bar packaging, and i always find a lil bit of Andre the Giant based sadness when i see a beasts fingers, while i’m sure are great for clutching icey boulders and shaking tree trunks are far too big to fit in it’s nose holes!

Haha! pretty sure this week’s “seanbeast” is a thin leather jacket away from being a 1970 burt reynolds poster, where he saves xmas with handsomeness! And the halloween costume style gorilla nipples are pretty great too.
