The comic size format doesn't do that much justice, so here's the big-ass version: 
Worked on this off and on for several months. Got it in under the wire, per my style. XD Hope you all have a very merry Christmas! Will have another comic up ASAP. Love you. -Chris
A Buckingham Family Christmas
83 thoughts on “A Buckingham Family Christmas”
Merry Christmas to all and have a Happy Holiday. Thanks again and perfect timing in this picture. It was worth it. And First Bitches!!!
No, I would think that the Sister’s Council would overrule you with the resident THOT over there who shall not be named because of the Beetle breakfast drink rule.
You do, of course, realize that you’re being redundant, right? “That THOT over there”?
Merry Christmas to everyone here, a perfect timing for the picture surely!
Someone tell Tarra she can’t get extra credit in Christmas either, no matter how irresponsibly large her 3D-printed tree is!
Yeah, I’d be skeptical of putting that in my house and we have a two story room. Pretty sure the Buckinghams don’t even have a second floor.
Unless Tarra uses her construction bots on the house anyway
But there’d have to be a “zoning-code-bot” first.
I think that Tarragon did not watch the latest Colin Fuze video with his Christmas tree.
…I see Anise is waiting up for Santa. Again.
“Restraining order? Those are only valid in the jurisdiction in which they’re issued! Once he leaves the Pole, his ass is mine.”
Guess she smoothed things over with old St. Nick after the one-sided fling with Durkin then?
Explains the sexy evening wear
Santa is Mr. Right. Durkin was just Mr. Right Now.
Besides, she’ll do things Mrs. Claus won’t. SEXY things.
I don’t know. This seems a bit of a throw back to the Christmas after Black Friday’s fiasco. But that’s just me.
No. I think that’s Pumpkin post-growth spurt which would be post-last Christmas.
Probably Anise just watches too much Futurama.
Maybe this Christmas? Because I think that I agree with the growth spurt being post first black friday transformation.
She’s up all night to get lucky
Anise seems to have misunderstood the concept of a shotgun wedding. Or maybe understood it too well.
*happy clappy* So many details to explore, this is amazing! Thank you very much, Chris, and I hope you’re enjoying the holiday.
Just the eight, I mean seven, sisters together. Why is Quinn side-eyeing Cinnamon, I wonder? Who let Anise get away with that stocking (never mind the gun)? Nothing says Christmas-time quite like Die Hard! Pumpkin’s outfit is superb – I am imagining her shoes to be point-toed felt numbers.
Probably Cinn gave Quinn the gift and Quinn’s waiting for it to launch a pie in her face or something.
The gift is from Pumpkin.
I’m guessing the gift contains a few Santa cookie crumbs and an oily spot that’s the right shape for a Santa cookie.
Because Quinn haet Cinnamon.
Santa should be done with the lower 48 in a few minutes I think.
Sooooo…

Oh geez. I’m flattered, but I think we should just stay friends.
Alternatively: Sorry Chris, but I already have my eye on someone with a prettier face, better figure, and access to more advanced technology.
Also, if anybody asks I never doubted your ability to get this done on time.
Oh and yes we know, Mister Falcon and so forth.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and a steady recovery! (Hope this panel was evenly spread over the year, please pace yourself.). The usual awesomeness!
^^ This
Diabetes Overload, also Die Hard \o/
To my dear friends from the chat, to those whom I have briefly met, to those whom I have yet to encounter, and to Mr. Rusche who has been here with us from the start. Merry Christmas to all and may a happy New Year soon follow. May we be a gift unto the world and a joy unto others so that they may join in the wonders of our adventures as it unfolds into something to magnificent to be remembered throughout the ages.
Merry Christmas Count.
Merry Christmas Mr. Blue. Merry Christmas Mr. Shineyorkboy. Merry Christmas Ms. DandiAndi.
Indeed. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
And G-d Bless us, everyone.
Merry Slaaneshmas to all !
I personally am a bigger fan of GREAT HORNED RAT DAY HmmmMMMMGRH! {(Extreme VIOLENT Coughing)}
** mR. Blue performs the Hindenburg maneuver on Count Imperious.
Isn’t that what inspired the Heisenberg maneuver?
I would certainly hope so given hiw much that poor SCREAMING RAT was coughing. I certainly hope the sjaven plague can be remedied by Heimlich maneuver. The Skaven problem in general could hopefully be solved by a Hindenburg maneuver in every corridor of the underway around Skavenblight and Hellpit.
@ the good Sir Count
There’s a certain red headed engineer who could help with that. Though I prefer copious use of organ guns to solve my problems.
Too bad Lucius and Ahriman didn’t do a Special this year. I really hoping Sly Marbo would make a repeat appearance and I hoping Fabius Bile got the kinks worked out on Ahriman 3.0.
I am surprised we have not seen a Nurglenacht given how jolly the pestilent father is around this time of year…and every time of the year.
True, maybe Grandpappy Nurgle took the day off…Naaah!
Ya’ll need the Emperor…
So…much…heresy….
Me and CHAOS are good, have fun with the Corpes Emperor! Oh wait, fun has been outlawed in the Imperium!
Oh, red headed engineer you say. Now who might that be?
Why the Slayer Engineer Malakai Makaisson of course. Inventor of the steam ship Unsinkable (which sank), the airship Indestructible (which exploded), and the airship Spirit of Grungni (which he wanted to name Unstoppable but was overruled by his patrons for reasons that elude him).
Yay! Was hoping for a christmas pic! :)
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Fatty does not look pleased.
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen McFat Fat pleased. I guess if he wasn’t pleased he’d just roll away.
I do seem to recall McFatFat being smitten with some one. And I don’t think that it was Sailor Moon.
Nah, he’s just stoic. He’s not happy, but Food Mommy must be humored.
Could be worst. Originally he was supposed to be an ordiment in the tree.
And it’s time to feel bad for Juniper, again, as somehow, she gets the smallest stocking.
…but why in the world is Anise’s double the size of anyone else’s?
While I’m at it, is the Dumb One eating an ornament?
Or is that one of Rosemary’s super-elaborate Christmas cookies?
Here’s a question to ponder. Does each sister with a title from the sisterhood council have their own style of shotgun?
How would Tarragon react if she knew that there was the a.I. File In Reach Sitting There for the taking.
Merry Christmas from one Chris to another! Hope all is well with you and yours going into the New Year!
Merry Christams 2 days late lol…..little surprised not to see the oldest sisters family there lol
Merry Christmas to my favorite comic of all time!~
For the crowd at 12:33 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, which equates to the time clock on here. The New Horizons Probe will have reached Ultima Thule.
Well, hopefully not, but BOOM BABY. We got Ultima Thule!!!
Happy New Year everybody!
Heh, first comment of 2019.
On a more relevant note I can’t quite figure out what Tarra’s expression is supposed to convey. Satisfaction at how her machine is working? Irritation at it not going faster? Worry that she’ll be called away for a last minute rescue of New Year’s Day?
I thought that you lived out in the Mountain Time Zone.
I’m not sure how you got that impression given that it’s repeatedly come up that I’m ahead of the rest of you.
Plus there’s my comments on my Pennsylvanian excursions. Not to mention my mentioning that I drove through Ohio to get to Indianapolis which I know you saw because you responded to my mentioning driving past that one guy’s home of Dayton.
Oh, speaking of Ohio I’ll be ending her “always a bridesmaid” status in regards to card tournaments this weekend. So wish me luck.
Alright alright. I got my facts crossed up.
You’re getting married? Or are you going to win this one? Honestly, it went over my head as it seems to be cryptic.
Sorry, that’s a personal in-joke. In my head I’ve tended to personify Ohio as a pretty temptress trying to lure me in with her obscenely cheap gas prices. And since I’ve never been to a tournament there and have only ever passed through on my way to Indiana I’ve said to myself that Ohio’s always a bridesmaid never a bride.
Fortunately there is a tournament there this weekend that I will be attending and hope to do quite well at. So Ohio will get to become a blushing bride at long last.
Well Ohio remains a shameless flirt. I swear with gas prices this low it’s like she’s charging nothing at all… nothing at all (Stupid sexy Ohio.)
I’ll also add that I’ve realized that Ohio is kind of the Helen of Troy of America since America’s desire to have her lead to the French and Indian War and subsequently the American Revolution.
Anyway, while my first outing with Ohio did not result in a show stopping success that left her short of breath like I would have liked I was Most Honorable so I think I left a good impression.
Although I did get a knife pulled on me. So that was a thing that happened.
Ok serious question: I’m taking my family to Disney next week. That’s a little over an hour away from Lakeland. Is that a wide enough radius to be safe from any Buckingham-related disasters?
I think that depends on your definition of ‘Buckingham-related’ since the Wall Walker is in D52 and thus associated with some of the Buckinghams so the radius could extend at least as far as the Yucatan. Plus Tarra has a pilot licence so her ability to get to places quickly should not be underestimated.
That’s the travel radius. I think that he means the imminent ground zero radius.
But travel affects were ground zero is and thus what area it’s radius covers.
