Happy Christmas eve! In this penultimate Quackcast of the year we decided to have a free day and just chat about any subject that interested us at the time. Next week will be our final cast of the year when we'll do a year in review. We even went back to our roots and did some silly accents, mine were of course A-mazing! (they were pretty crap TBH)

We touched on many subjects from the Adams family and Wednesday, even the Munsters (which I mistook for the Adams Family at one point… OMG what a dumbarse), the new Superman movie, Asterix, Corto Maltise, Chinese anime, Lower Decks, Shangri-La Frontier, Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online, and a host of other silly things.

Happy Christmas to all who celebrate it! As a present I'm making this week's Patreon vid freely available here - https://www.patreon.com/DrunkDuck

This week Gunwallace has given us a theme inspired by Hyacinth Webcomic - Heavy bass introduces the cast of usual suspects in this theme that beautifully echoes the intro of an 80s action TV show, blended with something more arty and eerie!

If you'd colored Banes avatar green and put Christmas ornaments on him he could be the Christmas tree. ;-)

@marcorossi - I've read 2 or 3 of the Corto Maltise books, they're SO good! From what I've read the secular aspect of Christmas were the celebrations more focussed on the new year and merrymaking because of that, it was those that became the joyous aspects of Christmas rather than just the rather dour religious celebrations.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah and enjoy the Festivus for the rest of us.

Merry Christmas! Re: Corto Maltese, I watched some of the animation years ago, but the comic is just way better IMHO. Sometimes ago I made a reference to Corto in my comic but nobody got it, not even in the italian version of my coimic, meh. Re: pre-christian Christmas, my understanding is that there were a lot of different traditions about the new year around Europe and the Mediterranean, like there was the birth of Horus (the young God), but also Yule, but also the Romans had the Saturnalia a few days before (where parents gifted dolls to kids), and so on. At some point the Church had to choose a date for the birth of Jesus, and they selected that period because so they could use the older traditions; however the older traditions were religious not secular.
