NEA’s X-Mas Offering: Cow & Boy

One of the newspaper comics traditions I love is that Newspaper Enterprise Association offers up a Christmas strip every year, a feature that newspapers back when I was kid ran on the front page or on the editorial page depending on the relative Scrooge-ness of the local editor.

I remember several years of starting the day by reading the Christmas feature (I think it repeated, but still) and ending it with the opening of that day's advent calendar door. The newspaper strip tradition is also one of the few things that comics do that make me wonder if they'll ever go to seasons and limited runs like television has with increasing fervor.

This year's offering is apparently a Cow & Boy adventure.
