Ambush Bug Presents #5

[the-ambush-bug.livejournal.com]

(Music Cue : "Have a Holly-Jolly Christmas")

The stage resembles a large, stylish den in this outing - decorated with all the Christmas trimmings. Stockings are hung by the chimney with care. There's a tree, decorated with metallic orange tinsel. Houngan is there, sitting at a piano.

Standing by the tree is Ambush Bug, in a Fred Rogers-esque outfit, complete with slacks, a sweater, and a toupee. He's sipping a small cup of egg nog as he 'notices' the camera. "Oh, well! Seems our guests have finally arrived. Hello, folks, and welcome to the Ambush Bug Christmas Special Extravaganzapalooza. Now also serving Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, to the best of our limited ability to understand and properly spell those holidays."

"We have a whole evening of Holiday Fun lined up - some special guests to make you smile, and I may just belt out a rendition of some holiday standard. Later on, I think we'll go to the phones, and maybe we'll even look at some letters to Santa Claus.."

He trails off, looking annoyedly off-camera towards his musical director. "What are you fidgeting about, Houngan?"

Dear Mister Claus,

I know you likley don't remember me, we had a little "run-in" back in '48. A little encounter with a green other-dimensional entity looking to steal the essence of the holidays. But since I've been good this year, there's something I'd really like to ask for.

Could you somehow arrange Warren Ellis keeping my series going for at least another thirty issues? I know there's that whole timeline of events thing that will put everything out on a positive note on big issue #27, but c'moooon.

The Authority kept theirs running long past the point of being entertaining, even into this whole WorldStorm retcon.

And if that isn't doable, could you at least arrange a few stand alone mini-series, maybe a couple more crossovers? By Garth Ennis?


Yours in this strange world (For one more issue, at least),

Elijah

"Aw, little Elijah. Well, I'll see what I can do. I think the elves could whip up a little Warren Ellis action figure for your stocking, with 'Planetary-Writing-Action!'"
