 now we're gonna do some readings, readings, readings. Good morning everyone. This is Chicho. Welcome to my channel and welcome to another live stream. Today is December 13th, 2020, and we're doing a comic book reading live stream. We have four comic books to choose from. Okay, we had five yesterday. We did a comic book reading yesterday, and we read Uncanny Tales number 30 from 1955, right? And it was a great read from Atlas Comics, which was the sort of first pre-marvel where they renamed it with Marvel. So it was edited by Stanley and there was a whole bunch of artists on there, including the Cares and Sit Sure, and a whole bunch of other people. Okay, so we did that reading yesterday, and today we got four comic books lined up to have a read through, and it's a great day. It's Sunday morning here at 10 a.m. It is overcast. It is raining. It is dark. It looks cold outside. It's a little windy. We're sitting in a space where we've got windows and whatnot, and you can see the outside with the trees moving, with the wind, and we've got comic books picked to read, like with the chaos in the world. This is a good place to be. This is a good place to be, really. Okay, so while we wait for people to roll in, let me give you guys the intro and tell you what this is all about, because we're going to get notifications going out from Discord and Twitch. Okay, I'm here, Tony. How are you doing? A great story. Great stories. We've got great stories. Okay, now, as for who I am and what this is all about, I am on patreon.patreon.com.com. If you want to follow this work, patreon is a great way to do so. Tony Bass, how are you doing? Hello, good sir. Hello, hello, and good morning, and good afternoon, and good evening. All that jazz, right? Night's all calm. Like, how are you doing? Good morning, brother. Good morning. Is it all overcast where you are as well? Rainy, windy. It's nice. I love this kind of weather, fall weather, winter weather. Love the summer, of course, the sun, but like I have the lights turned on and you can see like shadow effect happening, right? So hopefully the light will be okay for the reading, right? We'll see what is pretty, pretty overcast here. Randall, how are you doing? Hope you're doing well, brother. Alex, hey, Chico, hope you're well, brother. Indeed, indeed. Gliftenoid, absolutely massive bird in front of me. Nice. Awesome. Nature is great. I have a little bird flying around in our patio. It's got like a red streak here, and then when it gets excited, the red streak pops up like a punk. I don't think he's around right now. It's windy and cold, so it's probably like cuddled up in its nest, right? I'm here, Tony. We're good night in Iran. You're in Iran. You're 12 hours. You're set at 10 p.m. Like Iran is on the other side of the world for me. It's 10 p.m. right now for you, yeah? Can you read Bug's Bunny first? Nights of the Whole Comic. We got to do a poll. We got to do a vote, right? So we run polls to see which one we're going to read, and I'll give you guys, I'll let you guys know what we got going here. We gave an intro yesterday, and I'll give another intro today. Good day for a read. Great day for a read. Double-one negative. Gravity of the situation, Chico. I was watching your reading of Daredevil number one. I'm curious, did you get a good deal on that book? I've been looking for it, and it's so expensive. Gravity of the situation. I bought that book pre-Netflix Daredevil hitting the scene, right? And I bought it in the last like eight years, and when I bought it, it was graded at like five, and I would agree with that. It's got a little chunk missing from the front cover, right? So I would agree with the five grading. A person, I think, was five or four or something like that, and I bought it at the time for around 450 Canadian. I know that is probably worth around 1,200 to 1,500 Canadian now. So as far as I was concerned, it was a good deal. Good. Really, on the way, way expensive side of what I end up buying usually, I don't. I think that was the most expensive comic I bought on eBay. Okay. Good. Very early morning here. Early morning, Tony Boss. Wow. Gryfftinoid. Great. As far as I can see. Yeah, same here. Cheryl, how are you doing? Good morning. Good morning. Yep, it's 9.36 a.m. Okay, so you're 12 and 11 and a half hours. Cool, cool. Or p.m., sorry. Hey, guys. Spider-Man, how you doing? Arsly. Got myself Thorgar yesterday. Thorgar. I've read Thorgar. I think Thorgar, the sort of space Conan dude that's a little skinnier. I like Thorgar. I think that's the one. It's got to be the headline this one. Anyone who voted for Bugs Money. Bugs Money. Elder God, how you doing? Fun. What Superman issues that? It's this one is Superman's girlfriend Lois Lane. Check this out here. Let me move this and I'll finish off my intro when I, I'll show you, give you a teaser. Superman's girlfriend Lois Lane number 70, first Silver Age appearance of Catwoman. Woohoo. The good comic Spider-Man. I haven't read it yet, actually. Well answer for God. Awesome, awesome. DD number one equals Great Bill Everett. Yeah, yeah. And Stan Lee and Jack Kirby had a part to play in making the cover as well, I believe. We got cheated yesterday, but not again. Tony says. Gray, the gray, the gray ASMR. How are you doing? Welcome, welcome to another live stream, Amir. And you buy these books now. They're new then. There are some of these, this one, these two we bought on the recent comic book haul in the last couple of months, two, three months, right? This one I bought in the last 10 years and this one I bought off the racks. I know the whole Batman canon, the whole Batman canon.

Tony, I was meaning to ask last stream, but do you have a poll list or an ICS you visit? Oh, LCS. Yeah, for sure. I have a poll list on a local comic shop every Wednesday I go there. I try to, if I can make it, every Wednesday I go there and pick up my comics and I look on the racks to see what's new. And if I can afford it, I grab new things. For sure. For sure. Man, these are, these are so new. I like your, gives me relax when I'm reading my lessons. Awesome. And by the way, I mean, you can't post links. You see the link, but we don't see it.

Out of God, do we know who Bane's father is? Night 12 comic Chicho. What would the 10 year old Chicho think if he knew he'd be doing this later in life? Night 12 comic? Not 10 year old Chicho. 10 years ago, Chicho would have never thought he's going to do comic book readings live. 10 year old Chicho, when I was in school, I couldn't read out loud. I would get the shakes. That's one of the things I detested about school. I could never, like whenever we had to do a reading out loud, I couldn't do it. Like, I would get dizzy. I would get vertical. I would get the sweats. Like, and I wasn't. I really wasn't self conscious in a way of who was I was and stuff like this. I just wasn't a good reader. A little bit of dyslexia. I've never been diagnosed or anything, but I read words backwards and sometimes words just didn't have meaning to me and stuff. And a school that would force you to read out loud and even a university, I was like, I hated it. I hated it. So I never thought I would be doing any type of reading out loud. Geez, what? What are you kidding me? But life does what life does, sends you on certain paths and you just got to embrace it, right? Hey, have you started assassination class or assassination? No, I haven't started yet. I haven't started. I haven't found a dubbed version to watch yet. I want to watch it in dub. I don't want to watch stuff. I don't want to watch anime with subtitles, especially anime that has amazing dubs, right? What's on my pull list? A whole bunch of independence, valiant comics, the mainstream stuff I'm pulling, like I'm pulling monstrous. I'm pulling all the valiants. I'm pulling some, anything related to black, black, not anything related to black label, but some black label titles. I'm pulling boom titles. I'm pulling. I can't remember what's on my pull list because I stand on the racks and grab stuff as well, right? So I'm pulling Daredevil right now. I'm pulling Daredevil right now. We've got the new Electro Daredevil, like Electro took on the role of Daredevil, so that was super cool. Great panel, right? So that was really cool. Nolni Piggy, how are you doing? I just say your stream. I love it. Awesome Amir. I'm glad. No, King Snake. Next stream. War and peace reading. War and peace reading. I know if I can ever learn Russian, we'll read it in Russian. Have you seen the Marvel shows and movies that were announced? I saw some of them. I saw Loki. Loki looks great. Loki looks really good, right? Thank God for the pirate bear. Oh, Giftanoi. You don't like assassination classroom? I don't know. People were raving about it. Not last stream of the stream before, so a super chairman with our read for sure. A little long from my taste. A little long war and peace. I'm excited for Moon Knight the most. Oh, really? Is it they're starting a new series? Oh, I haven't seen the Moon Knight one. I haven't seen the Moon Knight trailer. I've got to look at it. Look at my girlfriend, Krush. Loki is your girlfriend, Krush. Assassination Classroom is an anime series. You could read a phone book and I'd list I love your voice. Great ASMR. I brutalize every name in that book, except John Smith. Cavani is my current fave. Cavanieree. I don't know that one. They've announced a series for Moon Knight, but sadly no trailer or teaser. Oh, okay. I don't know if they even cast the actor yet. Okay, okay, cool. Yeah, Moon Knight has been around like they've been talking about it for a while. Gang, I do announce these live streams 30 minutes before we go live on Parler, LOMinds, VKGap and Twitter. And we do share additional content there. As well, we have a Discord page. You can come to our Twitch channel anytime in the chat. Just type an exclamation mark social and all the links will be there. And the link for Discord will be there as well. And there's a lot of people sharing a lot of information there. Night's Will comic. There's a thing reading with Rover where kids read to dogs, build skills and the dogs love it. Really? I've never heard about it. Oh, thank you. I've never heard about it. I hate, man. I love it now. I look forward to these comic book readings. Really? Absolutely amazing. And the book readings. We're doing book readings. Gicho doing book readings. If you told any of my friends in high school and university does, they'd say you're from bizarro world. Tony, I'm still thinking about how cool the alien abduction story from yesterday's stream. It was awesome. Collector of collectors. I hope I don't get zapped. There are a few really great programs like that for reading, Cheryl. Awesome. Awesome. For live streams where we don't have any visuals, we do upload the audio to SoundCloud's podcast. And those podcasts are available on your favorite podcasting platform, including Spotify and iTunes. Hey, chicho. Padre, padre, padre. What are you doing? Hey, chicho and friends, just popping in to say hi real quick. I asked my co-workers from New York if he knew Big Pond and he said he'd seen him riding along on a scooter before he got famous. Really? Awesome. Awesome. Man, Big Pond. I got a soft spot for Big Pond, man, after watching that documentary. And his album is amazing. Put a headline. Let's welcome it. You should do a reading of the Lord of Rings. Oh, I've read the series. I've read the three books. Maybe book number two, which is so slow. It was brutal going book number two of the Lord of Rings. Lots of descriptions. Lots of descriptions. And free assage, free assage, free assage. And we will be uploading this reading, this live stream to both Pichu and YouTube.

Lonely Piggy Chicho could do a Bible reading on stream sometime. I do have my, I do still have my Bible from way, way back in the day where I've taken notes in the Bible. I believe I took notes in the Bible. Like my Bible that I've read, I read a fair bit of the Bible actually. Some great stories in it. And an important book to read, actually, at least parts of it. I thought it was, it's interesting. It's set a lot of things in motion for our society. So it's good to get that perspective, right? Elegant, goldenish comics are like fine wine. Anything else is cheaper. It can't be or no way. I disagree, Elder God. I disagree. Solar Man of the Atom number 10 is amazing. Let me take these things down. Let me take these things down. Like Solar Man of the Atom, this number 10 is like one of the, it would be one of the greatest golden age comic book ever, really. Read the Communist Manifesto. Chicho, imagine if you will cool old trains, kingdoms with 1980s era appeal and insane zombies climbing those trains and killing them with 80s era technology. That would be interesting. What's this reference to? Super influential to say the very least, very least to say the very least. Just for today, Chicho. Just for, well, we got to do a vote. We got to do a vote. The heroes killing the zombies, of course, not the other way around. The heroes killing the zombies, indeed. Propaganda to win the poll. Let's welcome Chicho, the two towers battle in the, oh yeah, that's right, the two towers battle. Lord of Rings is amazing. But if I was going to do any type of reading, I wouldn't do Lord of Rings for science fiction and fantasy. I would do the deathgate cycle, really. I think I would do the deathgate cycle. Hangman 42, thank you for the follow, and thank you for the follows and subs, gang. Should we go through a lowdown? Helms deep. Lowdown of what we got here. Gang, we got headline comics, headline number 27. Okay, from 1947, I believe, from 1947, from primes, prize publications cover Jack Kirby, Joe Simon. Whoa, whoa. Right. And this character here is, let me read this person's name, Stella May Dixon, from the husband and wife gangster, like Bonnie and Clyde, Benny and Stella Dixon. Right. Supposed to be there were real-time bank robbers and thieves and whatnot. Depression era outlaws. Okay. And we ended up getting this at a comic book haul in the last couple of months. And headline comics number 27 and 74. Together, they were selling it a lot. And we bought it for 66 Canadian, $52 US. Okay. Ellegoff, 1947, 1947, Tony, only about, talk about headline. Oh, talk about headline. Night's woke comic. That what cycle? I didn't catch what you said. Which cycle? Oh, death gate cycle. Death gate cycle. It's a, it's a seven issue fantasy series. Absolutely amazing. Death gate cycle. Margaret Wise and Tracy Hickman. Fantastic. Passed on real person. Oh, thank you, Graham. This one, Bugs Bunny Christmas Funnies. Bugs Bunny Christmas Funnies. From 1954, I believe. Yeah. 1954. Okay. And it's a compilation. It's got stories from Elmer Fudd, Porcupig, Sylvester, Tweedy Bird, and I think some other characters as well. Right. So it is December. Right. And we are coming up to Christmas. So Bugs Bunny Christmas Funnies from 1954. Right. This is a whole bunch of people that have worked on this. And Dell Comics, the publisher for this, the editor for this, Helen Hong Meyer was one of the first women to be publisher of a major publishing house in the United States. Right. Very important. I never guessed that that's from 1950s. Yeah. 1954. Look at it. It's a pretty good shape. Not bad. Not bad. Beautiful cover. We got Lois Lane, Superman's girlfriend. Lois Lane, number 70 from 1960. 1966. And it's the first Silver Age appearance of Catwoman. Right. Very important book. A key book. Right. And the artist for this is Kurt Schoffenberger. And the story is by Leo Dorf, man. I'm just reading the names here. Probably brutalizing them, but it is what it is. Right. Taco. How are we doing? Long time no talk indeed. Never guess. That's from And we got Solar Man of the Atom, number 10 from 1991. This is the first print. Okay. It's black. So it's going to have a hard time focusing on this thing. Okay. This is number 10. Okay. And this is the second print. Now, if this wins, we're going to read the second print number. The first print is in really good shape. And I really don't want to do too much damage to it because it's, it's on the harder to find book, even though it's going for pretty damn cheap man as far as I'm concerned, because this is the first appearance of Eternal Warrior and Geomancer. Right. And Barry Windsor Smith art in this Jim Shooter story in this. And it's the last, there's two stories in this. And the second story is the last story of Alpha and Omega, which is sort of the origin of Solar Man of the Atom, which is extremely important and considered to be one of the greatest comic book story arcs ever, really. Anybody that's read this, Alpha and Omega, Solar Man of the Atom, number one to number 10. And number 11 is the first, sort of second full appearance of Eternal Warrior, if you can think about it that way. But, and first appearance as on the cover, I believe, but Solar Man of the Atom from number one to number 10 is considered to be one of the greatest comic book story arcs ever, really. It's at par with, it's different, but at par with the respect it gets as Watchman, as Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol, as Frank Miller's Daredevil, as many other great story arcs, Solar Man of the Atom, one to 10. If you guys haven't read it, do yourself a favor and read it, okay? You've got the poll ready, Cheryl. Awesome. With the headline in the top position, it's the best I can offer. Awesome, Cheryl. No rigging the elections, no electoral, oh no, we do have electronic voting right now. Not much, how do you talk? A nice little comic, it's hard to believe there was no Rudolph and Frosty's songs until 1949 and 1950, really. Disney took over Christmas, eh? And Coca-Cola, right? Santa Claus, the Santa Claus we have right now that looks like Santa Claus, the chubby, it was a Coca-Cola character for the user for advertising, right? The true Christmas reindeer and the Christmas tree and the Amanita mosquito mushrooms, they come from Scandinavia, right? Very interesting. The headline comic can protect you from COVID-19, according to so-so random scientists you have never heard of. It's me, I'm the scientist, Tony, not that loud, Graham. For me, it's the spirit. The spirit, wow, wow, wow. Oh, thank you very much, FTLBZ. Philippus, I don't like to say it. Thank you very much for the raid, appreciate it, but there was racism in it, sadly. In which one? In the spirit? Yeah, a lot of, this is, we're looking at, gang, by the way, just so you appreciate the importance of these books, these are a snapshot from history, right? This is uncensored history. Incredibly important. We've read some books which were mind-blowing, right? We read a science fiction book. There were some people here that were in that reading where they were talking about technology and it was the atomic age, right? It was 1950s, atomic age, I think it was 1952, atomic age number one. And when we read that, wow, was it ever relevant, right? It really showed what technology could be and what it is. Back in 1952 with radars and automation and computer technology and AI, it was mind-boggling. It blew me away how amazing that read was, right? Gang, should we do the poll? There's a whole bunch of people that read it, so I'm just going to catch up on chat really quick. Come to that as a distant memory for me, but I'm always shocking to hear. Taco, nothing much. The restaurant closed down. I have a crush on my ex-boss. Oh, wow. I started a new job as a construction worker. I got corona recovered and now I'm still working with but depressed because I can't hug out, hang out with my lady friend and friends because most places are closed down and I'm waiting for spring to come. Oh man, Taco. I hope you're enjoying some nice live streams and downtime and nice books. Grab some comic books and read them, I think everyone's sort of in the same situation. Kebabs, redeeming 1000 points. That doesn't mean I seem like nothing much, Taco. Wind down and relax with us. Yeah, wind down and relax. Tony Australia, Perth Australia. We have been pretty much fully open since about May, I think. Maybe June, awesome. Oh, let's allow this. Automob grab something, Taco. Cheryl, should we run the poll? Everybody. Are you ready for the poll? Are we ready for the poll? Chico, green across the board. Let's do it. Let's run the poll gang. Remember, the poll is going to pop up on top of the chat.

We got Bugs Bunny and headline comics. No, Bugs Bunny takes it over. I think people might be sitting on votes just to make sure they come in at the end. It's like an eBay auction going on here. We got, oh, we got headline comics at five, Bugs Bunny at five, Solar Man of the Atom with two. I'm, I'm, I'm not, I'm not getting involved in these guys. I'm putting my vote in for Solar.

And those are the fraudulent vote goodness. Traders, Elder Gods says. I voted headline. Graham. Nice. Knights of World Comic. Dark season. Dark season. Tony, Chicho, you're just teasing us. What's up, Doug? What's up, Doug? Ha ha. Knights of World Comic. Chicho, I read by you of the original War of the Worlds 1938 radio broadcast. Brother, Knights of World Comic. I've been eyeing amazing fantasy tales, amazing fantasies. The pulp fiction books where the War of the Worlds was printed. I've been trying to sort of, it's all my radar, right? I forget what issue it is. It's expensive. If I get my hands on that, we will do a reading of it. Guaranteed. Guaranteed. But it's going for a few hundred bucks, man. I still think it's a goodbye, but I'm on a budget. I can settle with Bugs Bunny, I guess, Tony says. Indeed. Surlart looks insane, but my child is Bugs Bunny. Bugs Bunny. It's Bugs Bunny's season. Mel Blanc is still a legend. Mel Blanc, Mel Blanc. Gray ASMR, I knew I should have took one. Took that right at Albuquerque. Took that right at Albuquerque. Ha ha, that's right. I'm here. Say hello to Bugs Bunny. Taco, I know from stories the early 90s were bleak and boring. Oh, I don't know. No, no, no. Don't listen to the propaganda of people that say the 90s were not an amazing period for comic books. It was an amazing period for comic books. You just have to be buying the right comics, right? Also, when cars started to get boring, when cars started to get boring colors, shapes, and quieter engines, today that's kicked up to 11, cars got boring and even more boring. I couldn't think a group of hide rollers would make cars like watching paint dry. That would be so cool. Yeah, the world of the worlds. By the way, gang, thank you for the follows. Apologies if I'm not catching them all. I'm just trying to stay up with the chat and we're going to start the reading pretty soon. Well, I can give this pass away in 2019, 2017. No one can hate Bugs Bunny. No, I like Bugs Bunny. I don't think he gets away a little too much, especially in regards to Daffy Duck. He messes with Daffy Duck a little bit too much. And Elmer Fudd, of course, right? Amazing stories. August 1927. Yeah, amazing stories. Yeah, it's expensive. It's expensive. Bugs Bunny cartoons were a Sunday afternoon thing when I was growing up. Me too. Me too. Gang, should we do the reading? Let's do the reading. I'm gonna, if I hope the lighting is going to be okay with it, it should be. It's really dark here right now. Like really, like it's, what time is it? It's like 10 30 and you're seeing shadow effect. And I haven't turned on this one. There's a light here that I can turn on, but that's only in the bottom. So I don't want to throw it off. I rather the light was focused here when we do the reading. Okay. Unfortunately, I can't hang out for the reading. Oh, Tony, which sucks, but I'll watch it on YouTube when it's up. I have to wake up in five hours. Okay. Go to sleep, brother. Go to sleep. Enjoy the reading, brothers. I'm jealous of you all. I hope you enjoyed once, once that I uploaded. Okay. Bob gives me the bugs we know today. Gang, I'm taking down notifications. Let me take out notifications. And we're, there's no way we can read all of it. Right. We're going to skip through things. Okay. Okay. Read some of the stories in this and I'll keep an eye on chat. And if there is a story that we want to read for sure, if I'm going to skip it, just quickly comment. I'm going to turn on, turn off slow mo by the way. Slow off. I'm turning off slow mo. So it's going to be real time. I'll try to keep an eye on chat. Okay. You too. Excited for when we eventually read headline. Yeah. Me too. Me too. I thought it was my phone screen. Be your face. Yeah. So if there's a story that I'm about to skip that you really want to read, just post really quick on the chat and I'll catch it and we'll read it. Okay. So I'm going to take down the chat. It's not going to appear on the screen anymore, but I have it open on my computer. So I'll be able to see it. So I'm going to take chat down and I'm going to take this video down and I'll pop back in once we finish the reading game. Okay. See you guys soon. Hope you enjoyed the reading. Can you hear the rain? Seriously raiding. Welcome to my channel and welcome to another comic book reading. Today is December 13th, I believe, Sunday morning and we ran a poll. We're doing a live stream of this reading and we have four comic books to choose from and the chat decided that we're going to read Bugs Bunny Christmas Funnies from 1954. Right. And the cover of this comic, God is beautiful cover by the way. The cover is by Ralph Hemdall. Okay. It's a painted cover and Mel Crawford did the inking and the colors for this. So the pencils were done by Mel Crawford and I think it's supposed to be a painted cover. So, but it might not be. We'll see. We'll see. Right. And it's Looney Tunes. Right. And there is there's a whole bunch of people that have worked on this comic book. Okay. The artist Ken Chapin filled the Lara Fred Abranza, Tony Strobe. Tony Strobe actually is huge. Okay. Strobele. Tony Strobele. Tony Strobele. I'm going to crack this open, but one of the people that worked on this is Tony Strobele and he's he's huge in comics. Right. And a lot of these people worked on Dal comics, Disney comics, a lot of MGM and Hannah Barbera and stuff throughout their careers. But Tony Strobele was around when Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster and these are from the golden age of comics artists and stuff. He was around and he was friends with Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster and he put some feedback in regarding Superman for Action Comics number one and there's stories going around saying that he was actually approached by Jerry Siegel to work on Action Comics number one instead of Joe Schuster or the other way around and he turned down that offer because he thought his cartoonist style of drawing comic books wouldn't be suited for Superman. Right. So pretty, pretty huge creator. Right. The other people who are working on this is Vivi Risto, Gil Turner, John Leguera and just one other tidbit regarding Dal comics and this is Dal Giant and they put out a whole bunch of different types of comics, regarding different types of characters, Disney characters, Hannah Barbera, Looney Tunes and stuff like this. The publisher for this comic, for Dal Giants or Dal Publications was Helen Honigmeier and she's considered to be the first woman to be the sort of CEO, the publisher of a major publishing house in the United States of America and she worked with Dal I believe from 1950s all the way to 1976. Okay. Look at that. Bugs Bunny stuck in a chimney coming down a Santa. Porky Pig laughing his ass off. Sir Lester. What's Porky Pig's girlfriend's name? I forget Porky Pig's girlfriend's name. Fun. And this comic book we picked up in a lot by the way in the last couple of months it came with three other golden age comic books, Giant, Dal Giants and Peter Pan wasn't it and the Bugs Bunny one wasn't it and I think Mickey Mouse wasn't it another one and we got those at a ridiculously amazing deal. What an amazing deal and this is this I would grade at least a five, right? Like he's got a couple of things there, right? At least a five, five and a half. Okay. Petunia Pig, someone says. Petunia Pig. Porky Pig's girlfriend. Cute. Awesome. Nice cover. Very peaceful, right? But we know there isn't, it's not very peaceful. We know it's not going to be peaceful. There's going to be chaos going on here and there's a whole bunch of stories here gang. Dell Comics are a good comics. Let's take a look at this thing. Tweety's Christmas Riddle. Oh, do you guys want to read a riddle? Let's read a riddle. Check this out. Tweety's Christmas Riddle. Tweety's Christmas Riddle. What's Tweety's Christmas Riddle? Tweety's watching anxiously for something, but he would like you to guess what it is. So just identify the objects and find the correct letter in each line. Write the letters in the spaces provided below and they will spell something. No. Suri. Oh, they're not going to tell us. They will spell. No Suri. You find out. And it's a great thing that no one wrote on this, right? It makes the comic book worth more. Thank you whoever bought this originally that you didn't write on the comic book. So let's check this out. What's the riddle? What is this? Take a look. My first is a horse, but not a hose. Let me try to get this focused. So my second is a seal, but not a salt, not in salt. Oh, that's what it is. So my first is a horse, but not in hose. So that's an E, right? No. Horse. Oh, no. Is that correct? You guys figured it out, gang. My second is in seal, but not in salt. So I'm assuming that's an E. My third is in, is that butter? Bird. Is that a butter? What is that? Ice. Bird? Butterbird. Maybe. My third is in and also in bird. Oh, my third. I'm reading this incorrectly. My third is in butter and also in bird. So I'm assuming that's a B maybe. My fourth is in nose, but not in rows. My fifth is in bed, but not in B. My sixth is single. What? My sixth is single in kite and double in, what is that? I don't know what that is. Kite and double in cake? No. Iron? Heel? Oh, heels. Kite and heel? Maybe. My seventh is three times in, what's that called? TP? And double in, what is that? Wheel. So my seventh is three times in TP. TP. So E and double in wheel. Okay, so that's got to be an E. My last is in roof, but not in hoof. So here's the question. I live way up north and I work once a year, but my work is important. I'm Santa. We know what this is. Santa Claus, but wait a second Claus. Is this eight letters? Santa? Santa's helper. Helper? Santa's elf? No. Reindeer. Santa's reindeer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Santa's reindeer.

Warner Brothers Cartoons Incorporated presents Bugs Bunny. Got you covered. So March Hare. March Hare? At Christmas time? That doesn't sound right. Doc. Bugs Bunny says. Let's take a look at how Bugs Bunny was drawn in 1954. He looks a little little different than present day Bugs Bunny. At least my children will have rabbit stew for Christmas. It's better than nothing, he says. Isn't Santa Claus coming to your house? Bugs Bunny asks. The old man of the mountain said there's not going to be any Santa Claus this year, because he's going, he's going to stop him. Oh, now get going, rabbit. Is that where you left Doc? Bugs Bunny asks. Yes. And these are my children, he says. Hiya, kids. Bugs Bunny says. Why? It's Bugs Bunny. Oh, the kids know who Bugs Bunny is. It's Bugs Bunny. Get the stew pot ready. No, no, we love Bugs Bunny, the kid says. What up, Doc? Go. You want to eat Bugs Bunny? Listen, kids. Go in and hang up your stockings, because Santa Claus is coming tonight, Bugs Bunny says. Hooray, Santa is coming tonight. Bugs Bunny said so. He wouldn't fit to ask the kids are going in. That was mean. You know he isn't coming. Oh, yes, he is, Bugs Bunny says. Where can I find this old man of the mountain? Bugs Bunny is angry to the old man. He's at the top of the top of Bleak Mountain. But what do you, what do you aim him to do? The guy asks. He and I, he and I have a little matter to straighten out. See you later, Doc. Bugs Bunny's marching out. Top 5,000 feet. 5,000 feet climb. He must be a tough old boy to make this climb. Oh, he's got a castle up there. Scram, keep out, get no trespassing. He doesn't want anybody interfering with him. Say, his house looks like a fortress with water all around it. Oh, yeah, he's got a little moat there. Look at that. Oh, look at that. Look at these logs are here. I don't think those are logs, Bugs. Look at that. Oh, oh. Funny looking bark on these logs, too. Crack. Eek. A crocodile. Oh, he almost got his tail bitten off. And I'm standing on another one. Oh, oh. Hello again, Buster. Bugs is going to pull a scam. What do you say? Stay for a bite. Ha ha. Chomp. Pull the tail of the other crocodile. Ouch. Tsk, tsk. What a pity. His best friend, too. Youch. Youch. Oh, hold on. We've got a couple more panels to go here. Almost turning a page too early. I can't tell a lie. He bit you. Ha ha. Grr. Crocodiles are fighting now. All ashore. That's going ashore. He hee. Bugs made it. Let's see who's living in the castle. Let's see who's living in the castle. Looks like an old mountain. Old doctor or something. Let's check this out. It's not Yosemite Saf. Someone was mentioning. Now we'll see what the Santa Claus hater has to say for himself. Oh, Bugs Bunny wants some answers. I sure hope he's home. Ring. Oh, he's got a bone to pick. Ha ha. Little trapdoor opens. Fluff. Yikes. Hey. Bugs Bunny's zoomed. Oof. Season's greeting, little rabbit. He hee. Nice. So, you're the old man of the mountain, eh? Yes. But tell me, how did you get past the crocodiles? He wants to know. Oh, I just introduced them to each other. Ha ha. You're a clever one. What do you want here? The old man asks. I came to find out how you intend to stop Santa Claus tonight. That's easy. Follow me, he says. Bugs Bunny's still very angry. Look at that. You see? I'm going to corner the Christmas toy market and sell all the dear children in the world their toys at Christmas. But first, I've got to get rid of Santa Claus. They should have Bezos' face here. Actually, sort of looks like an older Jeff Bezos, doesn't he? Funny. You're wrong, sir, because there will always be a Santa Claus, Bugs Bunny says. Not after tonight, he hee. What's that? Bugs Bunny asks. That looks like a cat. Look at that. Serious business. It's my new vanishing ray gun. Oh, a ray gun. One shot and poof. Santa and his reindeer disappear forever. Need, eh? You, I don't like. I suppose you're going to stop me, the old man says. Oh, look at Bugs Bunny. Yes, because I am Bugs Bunny. Does that strike a note of fear in your valinous heart? He's pissed. He gets bonked. Bonk. Not especially, the old man says. Glicks. I'll have to get rid of him. He knows too much, the old man says. Let's see where this is going. Oh, where is he taking bugs? I know. I'll use him in my toy department. Oh, he wants to put him to work. Look at that. Meet Crestview, my toy maker. Yipes. Omsk. That's a big gorilla. Crestview, you may use this fur for our Bugs Bugs Bunny dolls. His teeth for toy piano keys and his big ears for airplane wings. Yikes. Have fun. Oh, oh. Bugs is about to get dismembered. Uh, our hello, Crestview. What do you hear from, what did, what do you hear from the jungle? Oh, look at that machete. That was a serious knife. Bugs is looking all cute. Take another step, you big ape, and I'll fire. He grabbed some guns. I'm pretty sure they're toy guns. Bang. Ha, ha. Take that. Oops. Oh, Bugs was actually going to shoot him. Omsk, ha, ha. The gorilla says. Oh, and he's off. Can we talk? Talk this over, rabbit? Rabbit the gorilla? The gorilla's chasing him. Look at this. Comes across a toy army. Aha. The army to the rescue. Push remote control button. An army will attack. Hmm. Sounds simple. Charge. Off they go. Look at that. I want some of these toy soldiers. We never had these guys. Oh, ouch. Look at that. Oh, wow. The gorilla jumped out the window. He's like jumping to death or into the, into the crocodile pit. Crestview. Where do you think you're going? The old man's pissed. He's like, what's going on? Oh, wow. Like they say, never send a gorilla to do the work of an evil old man. Cry. All right, rabbit. Where are you? Old man says. We should call him Bezos says. Like that. Lots of toys here. That's a thing. I'm in here, doc. Well, this bunny is like large size train tracks. Where? I can't see you. The old man says. He looks in the tunnel. That's a nice, huge train. Here I am, doc. Like this bunny says. I'll tend to you later. It's almost midnight and Santhas do any second. He's gonna go kill Santa. Now for my vanishing ray god. Ha ha. Hold still. I'll take your picture first. Bug says. A boink there. Click. Boxing glove comes out of the camera. Punches the old man in the face. Out of my way, rabbit. I've got to get to that ray gun before it's too late. Marbles. Oh, marbles. Marbles. Love marbles. They could be very dangerous. They could be very dangerous. Right? Have a marble game pops. Spills the barrel of marbles. This old man's going to wipe out. Hey, goes on a slider. Look at bugs his face. Help. Where is he going to land? Where is he going to land? Where is he going to land? Bugs bunny nose. Let's see. Right about here. Plaster. Oh my. Spludge. Hurry, Santa. Hurry, Santa's out there. He's making it. He's gonna make it. On, Prancer. On, Vixen. Hey, Santa's supposed to have 12 reindeers, I think, isn't he? That would only make it six if he's got two on each side. Uh-oh. Slam. The villain just ran into that room. The vanishing ray gun room. Uh-oh. He's about to take down Santa. Bad Bezos. Bad Bezos. I'll stop him with this toy airplane and beach ball. Really? Beach pail, not beach ball. What's he gonna do? Yeah. It's like an eagle. Oh, he's flying on the plane. If I can cap the gun with this pail, the vanishing ray will work in reverse. It's genius, I tell you. Bugs bunny's genius. Yepy, I did it. Bugs bunny says. And one push of this button and puff. No more Santa Claus, Jeff says. It worked. The whole place vanished and Santa got through safely. Oh, Bezos went pink. Ho, ho, ho. Merry Christmas. Ho, ho, ho. Merry Christmas, Santa says. Yeah. And everybody had a good time. Look at all the presents. Christmas morning. Jingle bells, jingle bells. Go, go. Look at this. And bugs bunny there singing with a Christmas story. That's cool. Looks like, take a look at this. Looks like none of the puzzles are filled in. This is great. Fur coat for bugs bunny. That'd be crazy if someone had written down fur coat from bugs bunny. Let's see what this says. Let's make bugs a new fur coat. Really? How does that work? Let's make bugs a new fur coat. It's a lot of fun and easy too. You will need two different colored strands of knitting yarn, some glue, a piece of cardboard, and a pair of scissors. First, glue figure one to cardboard. So this is going to glue bugs bunny glue figure one to cardboard and cut it out. I think you need to cut it out first and then glue it. Next, take the two different color pieces of yarn and measure and cut two strands each three feet long. Now cut these strands into tiny pieces and be sure to keep the two piles of little pieces separate. Cover the areas marked A with glue and attach bits of yarn and one color. When that has dried, cover the areas marked B with glue and fold the same procedure using the other colored yarn. When you have finished gluing the gun, only the eyes, nose, mouth, and teeth will be left uncovered. Now glue figure two to cardboard and cut it out. Fold on the dotted line and glue part B to back of figure one so bugs will be able to stand up. To add whiskers, just pull a few short straws from a kitchen broom and glue them to yarn on each side of the nose. Golly, bugs will just love his be your beautiful new fur coat. I could make heads or tails out of that. That's instructions. Cheryl says no parental supervision required. Funny. Porky Pig story. Let's read a Porky Pig story. Right on. Porky Pig is a nervous little guy. Porky Pig. Let's do Porky Pig. So Warner Brothers cartoon Porky Pig. Porky Pig is going to learn to fly. Oh my. All right, Porky, are you ready for your first solo flight? I hope so. Did you warn him about Backward Canyon? The guy's yelling over there. And if we're going to do Porky Pig, we've got to do this. That's all folks. I used to love that. That's all folks. Oh, yes, Porky. Above all, don't go near Backwards Canyon. Okay. Control tower to Porky Pig. Either take off or clear the flight strip. But what about Backwards Canyon? Make sure you stay away from it because, because. Oh, he doesn't know. He doesn't know. Later in flight. There's a vulture flying. I sure wish I could have heard what he was trying to tell me about Backwards Canyon. Porky Pig says, oh, he just fried the vulture. Yow. I'm scuttered. Scuttled. Oops. Beaky buzzard. Sorry, Beaky. Porky just ran over the bird. The buzzard's not going to be happy. Now, see what you've done? You knocked me off my course, Porky says. What happened? Seems like the plane is sort of standing still. Could it be standing still? What's this? Oh my gosh. Now we're going backwards. Oh, this must be Backwards Canyon with the winds. Hold on, Type Beaky. Oh, the buzzard's holding on to the plane. Oh, golly. We're not making any headway. We're still going backwards. Oh, oh, Porky's in trouble. Is he flying backwards still? No, he's not flying backwards. Whew. Better land until the wind blows over. It's just landing on a road. I saw you. You're under arrest for reckless flying. Is he a cop? What is he? Reckless, but Porky says, who is this guy? Don't you know better? Better to land the plane front forward? You're going to jail till you can learn to do things backwards, like you're supposed to. Backwards, Porky asks. What? This is Backwards Canyon. Oh, golly, Beaky. This must be a Backwards Valley. Well, it's sure not frontwards. Folks that live here know better. Ah, he's riding his motorbike backwards, too. Look at Beaky, the buzzard. He's just laughing. But won't you at least look forward so we can see where we're going? Look at him go. Who wants to? We'll soon be there anyway. Uh-huh. Let's read the sign. So you're now entering backwards a valley. No other town can make that statement. What's going on? People walking backwards? The jail's down, the other end of Main Street. Main Street? But all the buildings are facing the other way. Of course, who'd want to face a Main Street like this? Uh-huh. And a lady tipping her hat to a man, Porky asks. What's going on? Everything's backwards. Oh, a cat chasing a dog. Yep. And look at a cat chasing a dog. The buzzard says, Jeepers, everything's backwards or opposite. No wonder they warned me about this place. I kind of like it, except I can't figure out which way sideways. This guy looks drugged. Okay, here's our jail. This guy says he walks in a clink and you're not gonna get me out of here no matter what you say. You in jail? So he walks himself in. Everything's backwards. It's like the Zorro world. Let's see if this will focus. But you're arresting us. We should be in. Don't try to tell me, my business stranger. The guy says, well, anyway, it's one thing I like about your town. Going forwards ought to pinch him for reckless walking. Well, what do you know? Pictures. Even their election posters are put up backwards. We'd better watch our step, Biki. Remember, do everything just the opposite of what you'd usually do. Just the opposite, eh? Vote for. Those signs upside down too. Here ya, here ya. Announcing the results of the election for mayor. Who's he talking to, the wall? Biki asks. It's just their backwards way of doing things. Everybody in town got one vote, except, except those two strangers. No votes. Then they're both the new mayor. Us. Oh no. That's funny. Time magazine person of the year. Right there. President and vice president. For 2020. My god. This thing's political and economics. We'd have gotten some votes too. We just haven't voted yet. We'll vote now. Do you mean to say you don't want to be our mayor? Yes, Porky Pig says. What's going on here? Let's check this out. And so, did we miss a page? Nope. I think that's right. He's saying yes, and then. And so, of all the silly ideas in the mayor's chair, face to the wall. Yep, it's wonderful. At last, I'm half a mayor. Well, I'm the other half. And the first thing I'm going to do is try to straighten out these silly people, Porky says. Just because years ago, somebody named this valley backwards, they didn't have to live up to it. So half the mayor calls a town meeting. And that's why I think you ought to try doing things forwards for a change. Forwards, everyone's facing backwards. The very idea, what's the world coming to? They're all complaining. But try it. Try turning around when you talk to each other, Porky says. See how much nicer it is talking face to face. This is nicer looking at each other, freaking out. But nonsense, young fella. This proves backwards is better. Why? If you get bored, bored with someone, you just leave. And it doesn't hurt his feelings at all. He doesn't even know. Oh, you're gone. Porky's all confused. What a wacko place. But fellas, Porky says. And look, how it improves a good man, a good man-to-man fight. Nobody ever gets hurt. Look at that. They're punching air. But backwards living won't get you anywhere. You'll never make any progress. Oh, is that so? He says. It just so happens, we have a huge scientific research department. Here he comes now. We're walking backwards and I've got it. Come on, everybody. It's ready to demonstrate. What's ready, Porky asks. What? Why? It's the solution to the traffic problem all over the world. Golly, Porky says. Look at them. They're all scooting along really fast. We've uninvented the automobile. Haha. The buzzer's all confused. What? Uninvented it? Yep. With my new gimmick, watch. The car won't work at all. What's the gimmick? Original reset. Sheryl says in the last stream. Seriously, this is like 2020. Reset everything. My God. Wonderful. It's bound to be safer that way. Indeed, lots of life saved. Lock everybody down. No more speeding. Yep. See? It doesn't do anything. Haha. Boom. And it explodes just the way the great reset is going to do. Ho-ho. It doesn't do anything. But it sure does it loud. The buzzer says. Yes. Homer's a real live wire. Haha. His name is Homer. Next week, he's going to uninvent electric lights. Then we won't have to pay electric bills anymore. Haha. Last year, he uninvented dishes. We don't ever have to wash any dirty ones now. Of course, we mess up a lot of tables. But at this rate, you'll just keep going backwards till you end up living in caves. Porcupine says. Tish Tush, who cares? Who cares? We'll all be looking the other way. Haha. Living in denial. I give up. We've got to get away from here, Biki. What a backwards society. Wow. Are you talking backwards now? Or front-wards, Porcupine? I'm so confused. I really don't know, Porcupine says. If you could speak, if you could speak, if you could sneak away first and get the plane engine warmed up, Porcupine says. Warmed up. It's a cinch, Porcupine. I'll warm up that old airplane engine. Don't worry. I'm an expert flyer, you know? Gulp, Porcupine thinks. Oh, me. Now to keep them from realizing what we're up to. Backwards even. Oh, he's flying backwards. They're always looking backwards. They'll stop me, me. Sure. Unless I can think of something. Oh, they're all looking at it now. Look at that. I've got it. Why can't I issue an official proclamation? I'm the mayor. What's he gonna say? So, a proclamation by the new mayor. Don't worry. Don't worry, Chums. I'm putting it up backwards and upside down, so it'll be easy to read. Upside down, too? The guy asks. Now we are getting somewhere someplace. Everybody who wants to read it had better get on, get up on his head. And now they'll be too busy to worry about me and Vicky. What does it say? What? Hmm. They're all upside down trying to read it. I'm getting it. It says, notice from mayor, I have just uninvented feet. Better forget about using yours. How terrible, they say. I just bought this new pair of shoes. He's just trying to get us to use our heads. Hurry up, Porky. The engine's warming up. Pretty good. Oh, no, he's lit fire on it. Stop. I didn't say, burn it up. Uh-oh. I meant, start it up. Hurry. Climb in. Oh, he's jumping in. The sooner we get back home, the better I'll like it. Now he's flying forwards now. Okay, but I'm going to show those smart, uh, allocers. We can uninvent things, too. Vicky says. If I uninvent this airplane, then we can't ever come to the dumbbell places like this anymore. Oh, what's he doing? He's pulling the string, the wiring out. No, Vicky, stop. Those are control wires. Uh-oh. He's not the smartest, uh, vulture around. Stop, Vicky. Leave the wires alone. Give them here, please. Well, okay. He says, suit yourself, Chum. But some folks are sure hard to please. Let go of the wires. Look, the plane coming in. It's Porky. He's back. Good grief. He can't land. Stunting like that. Look at him. He's just like whirling, whirling, whirling. Maybe he can't, but he did. He landed it backwards. Did he? Yeah, he did. He landed it backwards. Backwards. Nice. These guys are happy. Porky, what a landing. Imagine anybody doing a thing like that backwards. Don't worry, I can imagine it. Porky says. Whatever possesses you to try it, boy, I don't know if they are. Porky's about to pass out. You see, I tried to keep frontward, not backward, but I got to thinking that frontward was just backwards and he's all confused. Look at that. Oh, never mind. From now on, I'll just, I'll just stick to sideways. Interesting. Tweety and Sylvester. We're going to read a Tweety Sylvester. What's this one? One. Cereal surprises. This guy. I think we'll skip this one. After the Christmas tree was decorated, Petunia Piggy tucked Porky into bed. Oh, maybe Jean-Marie was into bed and turned out the, turned out the lights, but Porky had other ideas. He sneaked in to the living room and hid behind a chair or couch. His sock hung, his sock hung over the fireplace and he waited for Santa to come down the chimney. Soon the clock struck 12, but no Santa. Porky was very disappointed as he climbed back into bed. When Porky awoke next morning, he looked again. Maybe, maybe, he thought, I didn't wait long enough, but his sock was still empty. Why don't you try, try the den? Laughed Petunia Porky. And sure enough, there hung a sock filled with, filled with what? Candy and apples, candy and apples. For you see, the house had two fireplaces and, and two chimneys. Santa had just outsmarted Porky. Cute. That was easier to read than I thought. This is a Sylvester story. Sylvester and Tweety. Let's read it. Might as well read the stories as we come, come across them, right? We'll read the one story from each of the characters. So let's have a read through this. Warner Brothers cartoon incorporated presents Tweety and Sylvester.

He's still giving his list. Well, you stop it, Sylvester says. Finger painting set. Wait until I get my hands on you, Sylvester says. Tweety's just flying around. Oh, they're just flying. Zooming around the pillar. Zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom. Huh? Where did he go? Screech. Thank goodness. I finally got rid of that pest. Okay. Who's the next kid, Sylvester says. Tweety's in his beard. A pair of ice skates, space gun. Okay, okay. Finish your list and get it over with. Hockey stick, baseball glove. He's just going, going, going. One hour later. Bicycle, toy machine gun, football. But most of all, Santa Claus, I want a sweet little buddy hat. Putty hat. Sweet little putty, putty tat. Putty tat. Huh? What's a putty tat? Putty tat. Oh, putty cat. Pussy cat? It's gotta, it's gotta mean pussy cat. Sweet little pussy cat. Well, well, Sylvester says. I think that can be a range. Oh, goody. Tweety says. Now you go home and Santa will bring you a pussy cat on Christmas Eve. Yes, indeedy. Bye bye Santa. Christmas Eve. Now to get that third smack smack. Sylvester's hungry. He'll make a lovely Christmas dinner. Knock, knock. Who's there? It's Santa Claus. Santa, let me in. Sylvester says. Oh, no, Santa Claus. You can't come in the front door. You have to come down the chimney, Tweety says. That bird gives me a big fat pain, Sylvester says as he grabs a ladder, climbs onto the roof, goes to the chimney. Hmm, this is gonna be a tight squeeze, Sylvester says. Come on down, Santa Claus. Help, I'm stuck in the chimney, Sylvester says. Oh, this is toyable. Santa Claus can't get down the chimney and, and these me bring me my putty cat. I'll have to help him. So Tweety bird flies outside. Don't worry, Santa. I'll help you get down the chimney. Pounce, pounce, pounce, pumping on his head. It's no use, Santa Claus. I'm not heavy enough, Sylvester. But here's a loose brick in the chimney. Ouch. Clank, smacks him on top of the head. Crash. Falls down the chimney. Where's my putty cat, Santa? Sylvester asks. Sylvester's pissed. Oh, Santa is mad. He chases Tweety bird. Tweety bird, we're around the door. Crash. That's a nice crash panel. Crash. Zip crash. Sylvester sees stars. Boink. And he flies back. Uh oh. Ha ha, he lands in the stocking. Look at that. That Tweety bird comes. Oh, I'm so happy. Santa did bring me a putty cat. Whenever I used to watch the Sylvester Tweety videos, I always, just like the Road Runner, you always hope that Sylvester would catch Tweety bird. There's another thing. Personalize your Christmas card. Elmer Fudd. Ha ha. And there's Daffy Duck there too. Nice, we've got to read this one. I think this is going to be the last story we read. Geez, there's so many stories here. Let's check this out. Let's check this out. And then there's a Bugs Bunny story again, which we've seen. Oh, there's Petunia as well. Wow. Look at that. Oh, look at this. Henry Hawk. Oh, this is the hawk, the chicken hawk that catches the big chicken, the rooster. What's his name? That cartoon is crazy, where he's always trying to eat the chickens. Which one should we read, gang? Foghorn. That's right. Foghorn is the rooster. The chicken hawk is always trying to eat, right? I don't see Foghorn here. Oh, look at this, the little mouse thing. This guy, this guy is Disney. Mary Jane Sniffles. Oh, yeah, that's right. Foghorn. I said, I said, I said, boy, what are you trying to do? I'm going to catch myself some chickens. I'm a chicken hawk. Hilarious. I swear, this is from Disney, but it's part of Warner Brothers at the time. I think there's an animated movie with this mouse. What's this one? Oh, wow, look at this one. Poncho Vanilla. Poncho Vanilla. Let's read Poncho Vanilla. I don't know this character at all. Let's read a character we don't know about. And a porky pig story. Let's read Poncho Vanilla, guys. And this is like Porkyland Circus. Poncho Vanilla. Should we read Poncho Vanilla? Porky's Memory Mixup. Look at this. All these are really nice pages. Seriously, this is a great comic. Really good shape. There's Porky Pig. Porky Pig. We got Daffy Poncho Vanilla. I think we're going to read Poncho Vanilla. Poncho Vanilla Gang. Poncho Vanilla. Anybody remember this guy? Okay. Let's do, let's do. Warner Brothers Cartoon, Inc. presents Little Poncho Vanilla. It is day before Christmas. And still, we have not found the Christmas tree, Poncho says. Christmas tree. Christmas trees are scarce around here, Poncho. But I have heard that such trees do grow in the mountains. In the mountains, then let us go there, Poncho says. Yay. I had to open my big, big mouth. Mountain climbing is much like work. Or follow me, Poncho. We will go to a little mountain that is close by a little mountain. Famine Mesa. Famine Mesa. Paquito. Papakito is his name. Papakito. There's no, there's no mountain. If there is a Christmas tree on it, who cares? Papakito says. Shortly, we're climbing up. Last one on top is a bull's, bull's uncle. There's a tree up here. Now we can go home and rest. What kind of a tree is that? That is a Christmas tree? We only, with only one branch? Of course. Who wants a Christmas tree that is cluttered up with branches? Cluttered up with branches? Oh well. It will have to do, I guess. Oh, they're cutting it down. Chop, chop. Wee. I am glad I talked them into this tree. This tree. I am too tired to climb another Mesa. Timber. Bravo. He's clapping. What's going on here? Who's talking? Let's see if there's a focus. Choir up there. Yay. A talking stone? Poncho says. These places haunted. He's running away. There, that's a turtle. Oh, what? Oh, this is where we find out who it was. Look at this, look at this. That was a Papakito. Wait for me in the tree. Tree? Oh yeah, the tree. We can make the quick go away on the tree. Papakito says. We're riding the tree down. Even a rolling stone could not catch us now. My poor Christmas tree. Yon, how terrible a nightmare. I dreamt that someone chopped down my hollow tree, full of root. Eek. Someone did chop it down. Oh no. They took his tree. What's he doing, laying in a hole? Oh, he's mad now, he's mad now. Look at that. Look at that. And already they have escaped in a cloud of dust. No one can do these things to me. Chavez ravine, the bandito. I will track them up and down. Ah, that's why he was living in a hole. He's a bandito, he was hiding out. Later. There, now your tree is decorated. Some ornament. A ring. A ring from a bull's nose? That's their decoration. Come to bed Pancho, and soon, senior Santa Claus will arrive with presents. Wait a minute, Papakito. Wait a minute, Papakito. First, I'm going to warm up a nice pot of chili for Santa. He would be hungry after his long trip, meanwhile. Hmm. The trail of my tree leads to this hacienda, to this hacienda. Let's see what the bandito's up to. Curses. The door is locked, he says. But I must get my loot out of the hollow tree. Oh, he's got loot inside the hollow tree, not roots. Loots. Loots inside the hollow tree. Let's see. Did he say that? Full of loot. That someone chopped on my hollow tree full of loot. Ah, he's a bandit hiding his loot in the hollow tree. Aha. Let's continue. Now that we know what's going on. But I must get my loot out of the hollow tree. Hmm. Maybe I could squeeze down the chimney. Oh, look at the smoke coming off the chimney. Santa Claus is just in time. The chili is nice and hot. Thump. Ooh. He put his foot in the chili. Ouch. Oh, golly. Tamales. Golly tamales. Santa. Santa's foot slipped. He landed in the chili. What the ding dong is this? Oh, Santa does not sound very jolly tonight. Now, to get my loot out of here, say something is rotten in Chilevania. Chilevania. The Santa Claus does not have a red suit. He is climbing up my Christmas tree. Very strange. Santa Claus is working in reverse. He takes something out of my tree. Yow. It is Chavez Revin, the bandit. Huh? Get off my Christmas tree. You big fake Santa Claus. You big fake Santa Claus. Oh, stop rocking the trunk. Oh, look at this. He's knocking him off the tree. Oh, my tree. My beautiful tree is smashed. Crash. It's breaking. The bandito is out cold. Then last week's tortilla, out colder than that last week's tortillas. But my Christmas tree is ruined. Do not worry, little poncho. Do not worry, little poncho. They got the loot. They got the loot. Oh, they're Santa Claus. It's not the loot. Santa's here. Right on. Santa Claus. The real Santa Claus. Nice. See, and I will trade you these big bag of toys for that bandito. I will then turn him over to the sheriff. Oh, nice. I notice you will also be needing another Christmas tree, poncho. But, Cineo Claus, there are no trees around here. You have not been using your eyes, poncho. Very special Christmas trees grow all over this country. Really? Come. I will help you choose one with many branches. Look at this. It's a cactus. And so, so they brought over a cactus. And so, Merry Christmas, Santa Claus. Nice. Santa rides away. Adios, poncho. What happened to the bag of gold? Where's the loot at? Where's the loot at? That was fun. Interesting. Bugs Bunny looks a little different than he became a little slicker, I think. He was a little chunkier early on. Porky Pig looks the same. Bugs Bunny's face is very, is more cartoony than what I was used to seeing. There's the chicken hawk. They were fun. We didn't see the gun wielding Yosemite Sam in this. So, I wonder when Yosemite Sam was created. Because this is from 1954. There must have been Yosemite Sam from before. What a fun little Christmas read. It's interesting taking a look at it. The book is really good shape. Really. I would definitely give this a 6. 6, 6.5. Right? Aside from that, that was great. I'm going to turn on our notifications, our camera. The artwork, yeah, was beautiful. Let me turn on the camera. The artwork was beautiful, really. The artwork was really nice. I really liked it as well. And there's hours of fun here for reading. We read the first three stories, and then one more, and there's a whole bunch of other stories we didn't read. So, and all the puzzle stuff, they're not worked. So, this is great. No pencils on them. Super fun. Super fun. Two readings on the weekend. And can you guys hear the rain? Times was picking up. God, sorry. I fell down around a hole on the CCP treachery. I'll imagine. The first two stories in this. Seriously. We got Jeff Bezos trying to kill Santa Claus so he can sell more presents and make a ton of money. Right? They're trying to do a great reset on the story before that in the backwards world. Right? They're crazy. The rain is lovely. The rain is lovely. I love doing readings here. Really. This is an amazing place just to sit down and get online and surf a little and do things. So, it's fun. It's fun. Oh, Lord Bezos. Mr. He's like, yeah, how are you doing? Gang, I'm going to try to do a live stream tomorrow. Okay. An unannounced live stream. I might send out a little announcement today as soon as I know we might do a math live stream tomorrow. Unscheduled live stream just because it's our third year anniversary of being on Twitch. And in the live stream page I have on my channel, three year anniversary, yeah. On the live stream page I have my website. I have 400 plus videos listed. On the YouTube playlist we have 300 plus videos listed. So, I don't know how many videos we have. Live streams we've done. But we've been on Twitch for three years now. Thank you, Gelo. Thank you for being here. So, we've been live streaming on Twitch for three years. So, what we'll end up doing is most likely do a math stream. Maybe we'll do a Q&A. But math stream I think would be appropriate because mathematics is really the thing that brought me to do all this, right? Yeah, Elder God, thank you for noticing. I hadn't noticed. I hadn't noticed. So, thanks to Elder God for pointing it out. So, the odds are we'll do a math stream maybe anywhere between 10, starting around 10 or 11 in the morning. Most likely maybe around 10.30 plus or minus an hour and just do a drop in math tutoring session. And we'll leave it there. We'll do another math stream. It's always fun to do a math stream. Why not, right? I'd rather not do politics, current events, because we've got another politics coming up this week later on. The cooking I'm not set up to do. We could do a Q&A, but Q&A is going to take us into the politics. So, I'd rather not do a politics one. But math I'm always up for doing. Comic book reading we could do, but I think math matters is the purpose as we do two comic book readings back to back. Can we have math in real life? Sure, I'll have to arrange it. But if you have anything in mind, let's do it. Let's do math in real life. We're not going to touch COVID info. Allerga, no way, no how. We can't touch the stats on that level. Even mentioning it. I know YouTube algorithms going to zap us, right? So, let's go to Discord. Let me know what you guys would like to do math in real life and we can take a look at it. If I have time to put it together, we'll do. I'm surprised all the data we looked at regarding that information is still up. I haven't checked it to see if any strikes are on it or whatnot or they've been taken down or their limited viewership or whatnot. No, we're not going to touch the flu information. We'll just do straight up math. Okay, gang. Aside from that, I hope you guys have a fantastic Sunday. If you're watching on the other side of the world, I hope you're having a fantastic reduced heart attacks in 2020. It's miraculous. Everything got cured, right? On the other side of the planet, I hope you're having a fantastic Monday. I hope you're having a fantastic Sunday evening, Monday morning, whatever time zone you're in. I hope you're having a fantastic day and if you can join us, we're going to do a math stream tomorrow. We've got cooking coming up on Wednesday. We're going to do meditation on Thursday and we're going to do current events on Friday, I believe. But we've got at least another four set up for this week, gang.
