The Mansion of E :: Smyt Celebrations Jump to Summary
Happy New Year 2016. Some of these folks have been glimpsed before, but many of them have not. And those faded visages on the pillars are my homage to some of my fellow artists who still hang out on the (otherwise mostly deserted) ComicGenesis official forums. [Martin Luther King Day] [Groundhog Day, also Candlemas] These two are not in a Hollow; they were among the crowd previously seen here. [Valentine's Day] This fellow is not intended to be a depiction of any particular Grand Poobah, past or present. Except possibly Greg Stillson. Whaddaya mean I have to draw three hundred and sixty six of these stupid things this year?! [St Patrick's Day] Happy Arbor Day 2016. Memorial Day [Commemorates Pulse Club mass shooting] And I lied last week, forgetting what today is. So back to Summerfather Hollow next week. For sure. I mean it this time!And two of these Smyts have previously appeared.[With Juneteenth flag on wall] Spoiler: It's very possible nothing bad would happen if they stopped doing the song and the dance, but.. Tradition! [American Independence Day] [13th anniversay of start of MoE] A cousin of mine died unexpectedly this week. One of his claims to fame was salsa-maker, so.. this one's for you, Darrell. Safe journey to the Pole. Happy Labor Day 2016. Columbus Day 2016. Happy Halloween 2016 [Day of the Dead] All Souls' Day 2016 I wasn't orignally planning a week of Smyt-filler, but there are a lot of holidays here at once, and like the individual in the bed, I'm kind of under the weather, so that's what you get. I'll get back to finishing Sylvester's story next week.Yes, I meant to spell it stik.Yes, all of these holiday interludes are canon, and are actually happening somewhere in the Basement or Forest.Yes, some groups of Smyts are far more sophisticated than others. Congratulations to the Chicago Cubs for finally ending their long playoff drought. And one for folks in the UK. Happy Guy Fawkes Day 2016. Veteran's Day/Remembrance Day 2016. Happy Thanksgiving 2016. Happy Turkey-Coma Day 2016. [Death of Peter Mayhew] My tribute to one of the biggest and most durable stars in world cinema, who had a new movie come out around the same time as this comic.[Refers to the film Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S., released in 2003 shortly after MoE launched.] Global Teachers Day 2020. Indigenous Peoples Day 2021 Kevin Conroy was pretty definitive as the voice of animated Batman these last few decades. He will be missed. Happy Thanksgiving 2022 Bob and the rest of the Sesame Street crew helped me learn how to read. [Fourth of July 2023] Started this thing 20 years ago, though I took a year off. So maybe next year I'll hold a real party. Happy Thanksgiving 2023 If you are seeing this text, your browser does not support inline frames
