Mistletoe Experiment, a parody Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

Mistletoe Experiment,
a parody Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

In some ways, this comic was really just an excuse to put John in yet another horrifying holiday sweater. Sherlock’s found some mistletoe to hang up for an experiment, but we’re not sure if he’s after smooches or poison dosages. Either way, John will be on the lookout.

This piece is in this month’s Floating Gallery, but was bought by a lovely patron so the original’s no longer available. But you can get it on a holiday card in my Etsy shop.

Osculate! Doctor Who fan art by Amy Crook

Osculate! Doctor Who fan art by Amy Crook

I meant to finish and post this last week after the Floating Gallery closed, by my body had other ideas. I’ve had a horrible head cold, and slept through most of the week. I’m only just recovering, so please do forgive the lateness of this Dalek.

He’s giving up his usual cry of “exterminate” in favor of some holiday spirit! Osculate means “kiss,” so he’s just demanding you give him his due and kiss a Dalek under the mistletoe. I’m sure it won’t kill you.

Well, mostly sure.

And here we’re back to coloring book doodles for Saturday, heh. Zombie Santa has a big sack of brains for the nice undead hordes. The naughty ones get shotgunned.

Cthulhu’s Gift

Cthulhu's Gift, cartoon art by Amy Crook

Cthulhu’s Gift by Amy Crook

I’ve been working on holiday cards again this week, and Cthulhu really wants you to like his gift. I decided to make a rather generic gift for the original, and then I drew a page of holiday dingbats — including a delightfully gruesome spike bow of a sort I’ve actually bought and put on gifts myself (minus the blood).

The original is, of course, the first version, since this one exists courtesy of Photoshop, but I find I’m rather fond of his baubles. I want a tentacle glass ornament!

This is what he looks like in a frame, though the original won’t be framed unless the buyer requests it for an additional fee.

Jolly Santa

Jolly Santa by Amy Crook

This is another of my holiday cards from a few years ago, and one of my all-time favorites. I just really liked the sketchy, brush-pen linework and the realistic shapes of the bones, combined with the cheery red of the Santa hat to make a very unique pirate flag indeed.

Happy Holidays!
