A Very Gumby Christmas by Carolyn Crane

Most of Carolyn Crane's fans known her as the author of the awesome Disillusionists trilogy featuring a hypochondriac heroine who becomes an interesting type of super heroine torn between two men who vie for her heart. But did you know Carolyn is a talented artist? Carolyn comes up with the cutest and most LOL hilarious cartoons. You may have seen your share of them over the past few weeks as she promotes Head Rush, the final book in the Disillusionists trilogy now available from Samhain.

 Buy me! I only cost $5.50

As I said before, I blame Carolyn for the bad Gumby fetish I have. Gumby plays a very important part in Head Rush and helps Justine, the protagonist, out of many jams she finds herself in. I begged and pleaded and begged some more for Carolyn to make me a special holiday cartoon featuring Gumby and Pokey. She complied mainly because it would shut me up. For your holiday viewing pleasure I give you a Very Gumby Christmas by Carolyn Crane!

Let's see how many literary characters you recognize as Gumby and Pokey hand out some Christmas gifts...


Guess what! Gumby and Pokey are here to give some lucky people Christmas presents! Yay!!!

What does Gumby have for the OMEGA? What could be in the bag?

Oh no, it’s coal! Was the Omega bad this year? Yes!


Look, Omega, Pokey has a present for you, too. Pokey wants to give you a kiss to make up for the coal that Gumby gave you. Come closer. Just a little bit closer for your nice kiss…
Chomp! hahahaha.


Oh, wow, Gumby has an early present for Lothaire, the hero of the book Carolyn Crane so badly badly wants, a book which is not available until January. *KB adds: Lothaire looks pretty normal for a crazed vampire, don't you think?*


Look, a time machine! Get in, Lothaire, Carolyn is waiting to read the book. Surely you will fit, if you scrunch up.
Oh, wow, Gumby and Pokey have a special gift for evil Dragos, from the Midnight Breed series, who wants to unleash hell on earth. It’s a fun ride on Pokey’s back. Looks like fun, Dragos!!

Hahahaha! Poor Dragos, did you fall off? Hopefully you will get riding lessons next year.



How thoughtful! Gumby and Pokey have gotten Carolyn Crane a little something - it’s a solution to the pesky problem she always has with the Google Blogger program, the way it always gets the spaces so #$#*^&%#* messed up and won’t BEHAVE!! Uh! It drives Carolyn so crazy!

Oh nooooooooo! Stop, Gumby, nooo! Please!


Look, Gumby and Pokey had a lovely gift for Zsadist and Vishous and all the brothers of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. It’s a case of Grey Goose Vodka! Yummy!


Oh, sorry, my brothers! Gumby and Pokey drank it all. They have started their holiday celebration early.  *KB adds: Gumby and Pokey are a bunch of lushes*


Oh, look, Gumby and Pokey have saved some for Carolyn and Katiebabs too! Yippeee!


*KB adds: I would welcome a nice bottle of Grey Goose, but what I want most in my stocking this year is...

Some of this

And this


Well, here’s hoping everybody out there has a lovely week full of friends, family, love and great books to read!

Happy Holidays, everybody!


XOXOX

Carolyn, Gumby & Pokey

Love Gumby and his pony pal Pokey! Grey Goose...lol. Too funny! All Lothaire needs are some pink eyes and he'd be cool.

Have a Merry Christmas!
