I'm taking a short break from shoveling out from the "blizzard" that hit us yesterday into today and I thought I'd show you some of the cool cartooning and comic related gifts I received for Christmas.
First is a Lamy Safari Extra Fine Nib Fountain Pen.
This is an ink converter for the pen that will allow me to use...
Krazy Kat: The Comic Art of George Herriman
This book isn't cartoon or comic related but goes along with my other love, the classic Universal Studio Monsters.
All in all a pretty darn good take if you ask me.
So, what did you get? Leave a comment and let me know what cartoon and comic related gifts you received.

Nice pressies. I got nothing. But I don't mind. I'm content with what I have.
Awesome haul David! Santa must be negligent in updating the whole naughty/nice list, 'cause I made out good, too.
Not as many art related things (since I can deduct them as a "business expense"), but I did get enough toys to sink the Bismark! More on this, though, in my blog.
Speaking of Universal Monsters, when I was at Universal Studios, Florida, they had a whole show dedicated to the classic monster make-up. In the lobby, they had life casts and displays of all of Jack Pierce's greatest work. You would be in Heaven!
For Hanukkah, my sister gave me a Fimo sculpted handlebar mustache for resting a pair of chopsticks off the table....
Much like a cartoon statue of facial hair.
PS Make sure you use your new pen!! Stop shoveling and start drawing!
Matt - Being content with what you have is the best present of all.
Bill - Can't wait to see what you got for toys. I would have loved to have seen that Jack Pierce display! I still want to see that movie about him that was released a couple of years back... Jack Pierce - The Man Behind the Monsters.
David - That's quite the neat gift. Did she sculpt the stache herself?
Nifty. You made a haul! Yay! The closest Santa came to cartoon and comic gifts over here was a chococlate-covered Twinkie.
Noodler's ink? That's hilarious. Is it different than other inks, because with a name like Noodler it is destined to become my favorite.
