OK, I'm just a little bit late with these seasonal drawings -- or else early for this year's upcoming festivities -- but as far as I'm concerned, ANY time is a good time to raise a spooky Halloween cheer or open a Christmas present!!! :-)

These three drawings were all sent to me by a fan called Dan many months back. In the first, Mr Crepsley celebrates October 31st, or as they call it in Vampire Mountain, "Just another average Tuesday." A much younger Larten is opening a Christmas present in the second ("A big bottle of baby suntan lotion -- nice!!") while toddler Gavner is tucking into a plateful of goodies in the third ("I'm saving the star for last, because I AM a star!").

All together now -- Happy Hallo--

I mean, Merry Chris--

I mean...

Ah, forget it!!! :-)
