My 2 year old daughter is convinced Santa lives in our chimney… so suck it everyone else, I guess. WE GOT SANTA IN OUR CHIMNEY AND HE’S BRINGING ME BEER.

The last chalkboard drawing of 2014! I don’t draw on the board during midterm exam week.
This post coincides with my holiday hiatus, during which I will be enjoying two weeks off from school with my kith and kin. I’ll also be working on comics for the second semester. I’ll likely pop on here now and then, but no new teaching comics until 2015.
Speaking of the new year, I’m hoping to have a small print edition of all the comics from the last four months ready for sale sometime in the first week of 2015. All of you folks who have said you’d like to own a print version of the comics over the years better get ready!
Chalkboard Drawings: The “All Holiday” edition
Posted in chalkboard drawings with tags a charlie brown christmas, a christmas story, chalkboard drawings, education, rudolph the red nosed reindeer, santa claus, the grinch, the grinch who stole christmas on December 15, 2013 by Christopher PearceI draw a picture of myself on my classroom’s chalkboard everyday. I collect those pictures as camera phone photos and post them on Sundays. See the rest here.
Thankfully, my laptop decided to comply, so I can present to you all a holiday themed week on my chalkboard. My choices were slightly upset by an unplanned snowday midweek, but you won’t hear me complaining.

That gorgeous cover is by Jose Luis Garcia Lopez, by the way…
thrift store finds: movie storybooks

Stine, random house, santa claus, santa claus: the movie, Shep Steneman, the empire strikes back, thrift store finds on October 13, 2012 by Christopher PearceLet’s talk about movie storybooks, shall we?
The format still exists, but in this day and age of home entertainment and instant access to everything on the internet, it’s in a somewhat weakened state. These are oversized picture books filled with production stills, movie storybooks were somewhat elaborate retellings of hit movies.
The appeal of these books was the same as for movie novelizations and photo novels – in the days before you could look up an image on Google or read a recap on a movie news website, these books let kids experience the films they loved without having to beg their parents to take them to the same flick a second time.
Here are three storybooks I’ve run across in the past few months, with limited commentary.
