We’re leaving tomorrow morning for New York City to take part in the Christomania craze that’s sweeping the nation. Then we’re flying to Bermuda for a not-quite-as-cold-as-the-East-Coast vacation getaway. New comics return on 2/25. Hopefully.

My original plan was to do a comic today and tomorrow to stave off your suffering, but you know what? It’s 2:38 a.m. and I have still have to do a ton of work and pack and clean the kitty litter box and OH THE PAIN, THE PAIN, so: no more comics for you until next Friday. Sorry.

Something to tide you over, though: can anyone, possibly Hungarian speaking, explain what this is, and why it linked to me? I sure would appreciate it.

I’m guessing that there are a lot of you who often read this site and think to yourselves, “Gosh, I’d love to kick a buck or two Josh’s way,” but you haven’t purchased any of the Comics Curmudgeon store items because:

1. You think they’re poorly designed or in bad taste.
2. Your religion considers the logos to be “graven images.”
3. You’re not going to be a walking billboard for some jerk on the Web, man.

Well, fear not: now you can just send me your money directly and get nothing in return! I know, it sounds to good to be true. The only catch is that you need to set up a PayPal account to do so, which you know you’ve all already done so that you can buy antique Hummel figurines on eBay and what not. Just click on the donate link on the sidebar.

Of course, if you have purchased some Comics Curmudgeon stuff, I again urge you to photograph yourself using it, so you too can be world famous like Dalton here. And speaking of Dalton, I urge any of you who are troubled by any questions whatsoever to pose them to Dalton on his exciting new Website, askmeanything.org.

Some readers have said that the new ad pictures in the sidebar are causing rendering problems on the site. If you are seeing these problems — or, for that matter, if you aren’t — can you email me and tell me what you see? Please include the operating system (e.g., Windows XP, Windows ME, Mac OS X, Linux) and browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Netscape, Safari) that you’re using. If you could attach a screenshot, all the better. Thanks in advance.

Update: OK, I think I’ve fixed the problem, but keep those comments coming if you’re having trouble. Sheesh, who knew that turning the future Mrs. Curmudgeon and myself into media superstars would be such a pain? Which reminds me: if you want to be a media superstar, just buy some Comics Curmudgeon crap fine products at my lovely CafePress.com store, have a friend photograph you wearing and/or drinking out of it, and send me a digital version of the picture, and I’ll put it into rotation with the fiancée and myself. The logos should be at least vaguely legible when the photo is reduced to 200 pixels wide. I reserve the right to reject photos that are in wildly poor taste, or that depict people so much more attractive than me that it makes me look bad.
