Heavy Claus is Coming to Town!

In case you didn’t notice the big ol’ image over in the news box… our annual holiday postcard fundraiser for Child’s Play is in full swing! And this year we have a sweet new Christmas postcard you can pick up featuring words by Brian Lastorka and art by Caldwell Tanner (who you may already know from our Falcon Lunch tee!) I did a tiny bit of work too, but really these guys get all the credit this year!

So if you like the card, be sure to send in a donation and get yourself a set for the holidays! And hey last year’s Halolz card is available too! Pick some up today!

‘Twas the night before 2-fort, when all through the house
Not a player was stirring, not even a scout

The supply kits were stacked by the respawn with care,
In hopes that the engineer soon would be there;
The players were nestled all snug in their beds;
While visions of crit shots danced in their heads;

And llamas in their bases, as i begin my sap,
Had just settled down for a long briefcase cap,
When out on the bridge there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the sniper deck to see what was the matter.

Away to the heavy I flew like a flash,
Blew open the soldier and pyro I bashed.
The heavy on the bridge with a medic in tow,
Gave the bluster of a slavic before the reload,

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a dispenser placed there by our engineer,
With a little old scout, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be devil turnip.

More rapid than eagles, our scouts they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
“Now, SPY! now, HEAVY! now, MEDIC and SNIPER!
On, DEMO! on SCOUT! on, PYRO and SOLDIER!

To the top of the deck! down the spiral hall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!”
As soldiers that before the blue team they fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, rocket jump to the sky,

So down to the intel room the scouts they flew,
With the floor full of stickies, and sentries too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the mic
The fragging and pwning of each little tike.

As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
Down the spiral the soldier came with a bound.
He was dressed all in red, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;

A bundle of rockets he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a moron as he gave his head a smack.
His bullets — how they twinkled! his taunts how funny!
His rockets were on target, his crits were money!

His droll little helmet was cocked to one side,
And the shovel on his back was along for the ride;
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
and the demo who shot it, was standing beneath;

He had a broad face and a six round shotgun,
That shook, when he shot like a scout on the run.
He was lean and tall, a right solid old man,
And I laughed when I saw him, while fast I ran;

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know i was about to be dead;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
He started rocket jumping; then turned with a jerk,

And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the spiral he rose;
He sprang to the bridge, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the path of a missle.

But I heard him exclaim, ere he rocket jumped out of sight,

“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-FIGHT.”

Anything you guys can do to promote the fundraiser would be appreciated! Tweeting, sharing on Facebook, posting in forums... whatever! It's hard to get the word out these days with so many other gaming fundraisers going on. :/

We have link graphics on the Webcomic Fundraiser page as well!

Also another thanks to Lastorka for sending in his original submission! Honestly if he hadn't sent that in we probably wouldn't have had a card this year!

I am completely flabbergasted by the fact that none of you are starting a flame war over the fact that some of this submission rips off of Futurama.

Pitchforks and torches are to your right. MrRaccoon will take care of the sales.

I'm probably going to get shot down for pointing out the grammar mistakes in a card intended for a charity fundraiser, but I'm a heartless bastard who can't take the misuse of "your" where "you're" should go. v_V

To go along with the TF2 Christmas theme, the spy will be stabbing you with a candy cane sharpened after sucking on it a little bit instead of a knife. It hurts just the same, but it leaves a minty feeling.

The bad grammar made the lyrics much less enjoyable.
Unless I'm mistaken, this should be expected from someone who can't even spell "glad".
