First, mood music. (http://www.miditrax.com/xmasmidi/AuldLangSyne2.mid).  Nothing can strike up emotion and make the hairs stand up on the back of your back quite like a MIDI version of Auld Land Syne.  Every wonder what that song is that we sing each New Years Eve?  Auld Lang Syne translates in to “old long since.”  That pretty much sums it all up, eh?  OLD LONG SINCE!

We at Comic Wonder are sorry to break the news that our beloved song is actually lost in translation.  Sure, we can assume it’s intended to say something like “the good old days” but the sad fact is that it doesn’t.  

None the less, New Years Eve has passed and we at Comic Wonder want to thank you for an amazing year!  Truly!  So many of you have delighted us with big laughs.  A couple of you have really let us down and should be ashamed of yourselves.  Put some pants on for crying out loud.  I’m sure that applied at least a dozen or so of you.

Johnny Mac may or may not have pants on right now but he has a pass either way because he’s once again got us chuckling with his rendition of “20 year reunion.”  He will be our last Comic Wonder of the Week for 2008 and forge new paths for the year to come.

We have SO many new things in store for Comic Wonder in 2009 and we can’t wait to roll out the new features.  In a time of financial crisis, mortgage meltdowns, massive lay-offs and investment scandals, we at Comic Wonder want to wish you a very Happy New Year!  We hope to toast to you all in our awesome Comic Wonder community every New Year and raise a glass of champagne and sing “old long since.”
