Hey! Two comic strips in less than two weeks! I realize that’s not a great average, but it’s much better than what was going on last year. Speaking of which: I hope all of you had a spectacular New Year’s Eve and are now locked and loaded for 2015. I’m not sure how much I can rely on “feelings” or “hunches” lately, but I do have a sneaking suspicion that this year is gonna be better than last year. Like, way better. If nothing else, writing and drawing more JEFbot definitely feels like I’m starting this year off right!
Previous tales of the Christmas Bat:
The Christmas Bat I • The Christmas Bat II • The Christmas Bat III • The Christmas Bat IV • The Christmas Bat V • The Christmas Bat VI
This bat story is making me tense up! YAY another update!
WOOOO! glad this episode’s making you tense, f_f – it’s only gonna get even more so from here on out!
and check you out: you done got the Shades of Firsting once again, which means you just achieved the 6X Shades!!! i’m floored. as always, wear them well: these will help you bake up goodies like a regular Martha Stewart:

Yay cookies. Isn’t that everybody’s favorite!
yay cookies! yep, i think we can all agree that cookies are awesome, Kris.
After a year without steady work, it’s only sensible to go into the new year with the mindset that it has to be better than the last. Plus, resuming some other work you had put aside will make you feel like things are going to pick up. Take that man-of-action mentality into your job interviews, and you’ll prove yourself right.
i hope so, E. A. Setser! would be awesome to get something steady soon. writing and drawing JEFbot and hanging with you all again definitely feels like a great start to the year!
For what it’s worth, I got fired from the job I’d held for more than a year and a half — and was up for the next available middle management position — on Christmas Eve. (Before that, the last position I lost was on Thanksgiving in 2012.) I attacked the job market with the attitude that nobody can destroy me without my permission. Three weeks later, I start a new position tomorrow.
Man-of-Action Man, AWAY!
glad to hear a positive employment story, E. A.! i’m still keeping’ positive with a go-get-’em attitude, so hopefully i’ll be starting a new position, too. AWAY WE GO!!! 😀
I’m wondering why this kitchen is infested with cobweb instead of tinsel.
it probably was at one time, ROM!, but now it’s been in disuse for quite some time. maybe The Bat will come and sprinkle some tinsel around to liven up the place!
Heck yeah, ‘bot, that’s the spirit! Another sign this year’s gonna be good? After 378 days of no computer, I’m finally buying a new laptop today!
wooHOOO!!! nothing like some new tech to start the year off right, JOE! Mombot just got a new laptop, too, so you’re in good company. 🙂
how do you like your new computer so far?
I’m loving it…after years of TV and movies showing me how cool touchscreens can be, I’m now the proud owner of a ginormois 2-in-1.
I think I *could* have gone for a smaller model, but it would’ve been the same price and half the hard drive space.
sweet! i’m hoping my computer lasts ’til i get a new job. it’s getting a bit up there in age now, but still chuggin’ along. *knocks on wood*
Well, here’s a protip that’ll help ensure the longevity of your computer: don’t put your drink anywhere remotely close to the computer!
Phew, I thought part two was going to be next Christmas!! Happy New Year!
HA! don’t give me any ideas, Rod! i’m gonna try my hardest to get the whole story out before the end of January. *fingers tightly crossed* happy 2015!!!
😀 more bats yay!
WOOOOOOO!!! more to come soon, DJ!
YAY!!!!! \o/. /o/.\o\ \o/
