Vlogmas 2024

Bit of a different post today: this year I decided to participate in Vlogmas, with the intention of making a video every day of December leading up to Christmas in which I would film myself making an ink drawing of characters from both this comic and my Ricky B. the Rock N Roll Rat comic on alternate days.

I filmed on both my camcorder for full-length videos where I talk throughout my process and blather on about various things and on my phone to make sped-up reels with Christmas songs for soundtracks.

I didn’t quite make it the whole way, but oh well. Here’s what I did get done with the Thorsens and Thorsen-adjacent folks, with both the full-length and the short versions of each. Enjoy!

Noah Thorsen

Noah Thorsen always brings his own mistletoe just to be sure.
Talk about overpromising…

Ursula Thorsen

Ursula, making her annual demands on Kris Kringle at the local mall.
You know where he lives, but how are you gonna get there, kiddo?

Ruth Thorsen

Ruth as she gazes lovingly at her life-sized cardboard cutout of Bono while Noah asks her where his other red sock is.
At least Noah’s not throwing darts at the cardboard cutout of Bono… this time…

Adam Thorsen

Adam, grumbling about having to be jolly.
Chill out, Adam… there’s power noise doom versions of all the classic Christmas songs for you to stomp to.

Agnes Burgoyne

Agnes Burgoyne henpicking her husband Frank about keeping the Christmas lights classy.
As soon as she goes out to her hair appointment, Frank and Noah will indeed be setting up the giant tacky inflatables, no matter what Agnes says.

Frank Burgoyne

Noah Thorsen's father-in-law Frank Burgoyne "picking up chicks for the holidays"—ie,  hanging out in his chicken run...
Clearly Agnes isn’t home or else he’d be pretending those are Thorsen’s birds.
