    Haha, seriously, where did the idea for squirrels come from?

    Happy holidays to all of the freelancers out there.

  7. PG Alex Charchar

    Haha, i love so many things about this one! Just the small things like the red/green/red/green panels and the text was brilliantly witty. Well done! One of the best of the year I think..

  8. PG Diogo Souza

    That visit would be a great gift! Oh, how I wish.

  9. PG Pete

    Thanks,
    Pete

  10. PG zack

  16. PG Matt Przybylski

    extremely well done and enjoyable. nice job

  17. PG Aetoric Design

    All the other kids at school tell me there’s no such thing as St. Freelance and his six squirrels, but I know he’s real.

  18. PG Jacob Ball

    Another great one – I love it!

    The bonus to cover the rent is a nice touch too :)

  19. PG Devan

    Awesome! This has to go down as a classic!

  20. PG Leal

    Cool. I have to say that its one good comic. Just love it. Happy Holidays to all Freelancers indeed, and to Freelance Switch as well. Now if I only got myself a nice gift, lets say a MacBook Pro.

  21. PG NetOperator Wibby

    Heh, I loved this comic. I’m going to repost this on my blog.

    Happy Holidays Freelance Switch!!

  22. PG Amanda

    This is brilliant!

  23. PG Francisco Galárraga

    awesome and funny!

  24. PG Jasmine

    love it! so funny! so original!

  25. PG Jason

    Very well done, awesome work on that writing for that piece. I think I might just have to make this my new wallpaper till the end of the year, lol.

    I hope all of you guys have a happy holidays!

  26. PG Joel Falconer

    Traditionally I’m a Scrooge at this time of year (the stress inducing qualities of Christmas practically beg it of me ;) ) but I have to say, that was hilariously cool.

  27. PG Ben Williams

    How appropriate. It is 3:00 am on a Sunday night (I mean Monday morning) and I have just sent in a PDF for a client to review in the morning. I must say, though, I must have been a bad freelancer this year because ain’t no St. Freelancer coming through my screen. Wonderful job, in meter and everything.

  28. PG blue2x

    awesome, which something like this could come true =)

  29. PG Afovea

    Freakin Genius!!! So funny, Merry Christmas!

  30. PG Lee Milthorpe

    By far the best comic yet! Loved it!

  31. PG Jdawg2k

    I hope St. Freelance visits me this year. I’ve been good… really!

    Merry Christmas to all

  32. PG Jesssica

    This is too funny! Great job! Thanks for publishing it!

  33. PG Melek

    perfectly themed! great comic.

  34. PG Andrew Kelsall

    Very creative and witty. Reminds me of an actual past project lol

  35. PG Tom

    Very nice! Well done :)

    Happy holidays to everyone.

  36. PG Jonathan Sharp

    Top notch!

  37. PG Adam

    haa that was awesome

  38. PG David

    I love it! It’s brilliant, and all of my friends will love it, too. One note, though: You have a typo in the second panel. It says “Absurb,” where I assume you mean “Absurd.”

    Doesn’t make it any less awesome, though.

  39. PG Jessica Grace

    I think it’s absurb that no one knows how to spell absurd. Other than that, fantastic comic! lol

  40. PG Mike Bowzeylo

    Great job. That was the perfect way to start my Monday morning.

  41. PG DKumar M.

    brilliantly creative & perfect.

  42. PG George Coghill

    Excellent, very well done!

    I hate to be the one to point this out, but there’s a typo in panel 2: “absurb” should be “absurd”.

  43. PG N.C. Winters

    Argh, thanks for the pointout, George. I also found another typo, and am attempting a remedy. Spreadsheet Squirrel should have caught this when checking the comic against the original copy. Thanks!

  44. PG Michael Martin

    Fantastic comic! Loved it. :D

  45. PG David Millar

    You forgot the part where even though it’s perfect the client still hates it.

  46. PG david downing

    brilliant. but what is the “bonus” you speak of???

    :)

  47. PG Justin

    4th frame.. Sooo been there.

  48. PG Bruce

    Very funny! I just had a client talking about fat fonts!

  49. PG Page Gardens

  55. PG Scriptor

    I must say, most of the time these comics are usually decent or okay, but this one is just amazing, good work!

  56. PG Abe

    Haha, my favorite one so far! Great rhyming

  57. PG The Ad Mad

    HAHAHAHAHA
    Best one EVER :D

  58. PG Tony Chester

    Great poem! We actually wrote one ourselves and posted it with our Christmas card here http://onwired.com/blog/flavor-of-the-season/ You’ll need to scroll down a bit to read it. I love the cartoon you accompanied it with.

    Tony

  59. PG Deanne

    There’s one word in Russian that does this justice — пиздато

  65. PG amber

    Okay, so when is the compilation book coming out?

  66. PG Danijel

    Simply precious. Became a freelancer recently so this touches me very personaly.
    Happy holidays everybody!

  67. PG myows

    this is very original – fantastic work NC !

  68. PG James Lytle

    yes, another late…awesome!

  69. PG Jason Cohen

    You forgot the last frame: Where the client gets the awesome results and hates it. Wants you to change back to the ugly colors and add “very” to your copy.

    :-) Thanks.

  70. PG DennisBB

    Happy new year!
