So that’s what happened to Gordon the Gopher.
Oh, and no “jazz hands” tag?

“So what’s the series title again?”
“Flashing Swords.”
“Got it. I’m painting a girl waving a big smoking stick!”

If you say Marjorie Main is a damsel, then I guess she’s a damsel.

@Bibliomancer
Flashing swords indeed! We’re an easy going bunch around here but we demand real ting. Indeed, we’re connoisseurs of ting and some dime store sparkler ain’t going to cut it.

Susie and Hobbes join forces with Calvin as he faces off against one of his own abominations!

Even imaginary monster snowman hands are hard to draw!

It’s angry because it has icicles for teeth and can never enjoy a hot meal.

Me thinks that the wee beastie is a pussy cat. Woodchucks don’t come with stripes!

Casper seems to have become a much less friendly ghost.

Oh, I just had a look at page 64 of the gallery, is it ten years of GSS next week?

@Verylatetotheparty – (Shhh! Quiet. You’ll spoil the big surprise!)

Fortunately, the monster interrupted before Bob committed a classic ice-fishing mistake.
Is that monster wearing earmuffs? I guess it must be cold under the ice. Or are those headphones and it was just listening to its tunes before someone rudely started cutting a hole in its roof?

Must have been an unwritten rule that this series had to have bad covers.
At least this version doesn’t have everyone pants-less.
Things mentioned in title: flashing swords, demons, daggers.
Things illustrated on cover: One demon? Plus two icy woodspersons and an unidentifiable small quadruped.
Unless we’ve got it all wrong and Casper the Yeti was just minding his own business when three demons came along to bother him with their sparklers.
So, so close to TING!
@JuanPaul: GSS! We need no more comparisons.

@JuanPaul: upon close inspection of the larger picture the animal does look rather like a plush toy tiger. Susie, on the other hand, appears to have aged badly.

“…Yeah, and then you said, now I have this big magic wand, the next time we build a snowman I can make it come to life. It would be so adorably cute, you said…”

Raymond Briggs really changed his style after The Falklands.

@Veryunlikelytobeinvitedtotheparty – Not to worry. Like most else on this website, it went unnoticed.

@Anti-Sceptic: I understand that’s a lot easier if someone knocks it unconscious first.
