When it comes to drawing the comic for New Years Eve, since I usually am dateless and don’t go anywhere, I used to just draw a comic of me… well, ushering in the new year with the TV on (usually a The Twilight Zone marathon) and drawing a comic. But, a few years ago while reading collections of Little Orphan Annie reprints, I noticed that Harold Gray (the cartoonist creator of Annie) would use the last Sunday strip of the year to recap all of the adventures that Annie had gone through during the year. I thought that was pretty cool so in the last few years I’ve decided to do something like that for the 12/31 comic.
