Whew! Enough with the flashing lightbulbs! Here's a more relaxed preview of what's new (or what's old but worth reminding you about) in Howard Cruse Land?

YULETIDE BACKWASH!

I've been wanting to add this Santa satire from 1983 to my site for years but kept waiting for an update that fell in the Santa-friendly month of December. That time has finally arrived! Yippee!

And to add to the fun, I've spiffed up my way of presenting the strip with Flash animation.

LET'S GET MUSICAL
