Advent Calendar Blog

During December I’m running an Advent Calendar Blog. A sort of a blog in the form of an advent calendar but with cartoons instead of little windows. The theme is ‘Advent’, and will be not particularly in-depth but slightly more in-depth in some places than others.

The first cartoon will be posted in an hour or so and from then on daily at about 2am. That’s not to encourage people to stay up late but rather to make sure that it is available in Australia around lunchtime whilst not being available in the UK the day before because that would be cheating. Do you see? No, nor do I really. I would like to make it clear that I will not be staying up until 2am doing the posting – these days you can get a machine to do it.

Hope you enjoy it.

Update: Simon asks in the comments whether I have started 4 days too late. It’s a popular view, with respected analysts like Diamond Geezer thinking the same. I’m afraid I go with tradition though – Advent Calendars have historically had 24 windows, one for each day in December rather than one for every day in Advent.

I couldn’t think up 27 drawings anyway.

    It may be mid day in Australia but it’s still only 8pm the previous day in Los Angeles!

    I’m hoping that people in Los Angeles will just be patient and not peek after 8pm to see the next day’s entry. I still have great faith in the goodness of humanity.

    Erm, aren’t you 4 days late – Advent has already started.
