#Merry Christmas everybody

Beef: fully grown man who knows that Santa Claus doesn’t exist

Emerich: gets really sullen when beef states this fact, but denies any accusation that he didn’t already know that. Of course he knows Santa’s not real. he’s not 12. Suspiciously defensive about the whole thing

Montrose: absent from the discussion because he’s two hours deep in the line to meet Festivia, Bringer of Merriment for Ephemera’s winter festival (photo op not included in ticket price)

Billy Quizboy as the rabbit-toothed guitarist DAVE HILL of glam rock band SLADE— sporter of the worst bangs in rock n' roll history*— circa their 1973 Christmas #2 Merry Christmas Everybody**, which was covered as the annual Venture Bros holiday song this year by Pete White, Master Billy Quizboy, his mom and her lovers (the elderly superhero polycule).

Merriest Twelfth Day of Christmas to you, to Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer and to Slade and anyone else still reading.

I know with the orange hair & eye patch, which Dave Hill did NOT have, Billy looks more like Ziggy Stardust— the Quizboy:Slade ratio is a delicate balance.

If you're wondering why you've never heard this song before, know Slade is more of a British thing, really. They had a ton of British hits in the 1970s as a glam rock band, but didn't make any impression in the US until the 1980s after Cum on Feel the Noize was covered by Quiet Riot. They had a minor US top 20 hit, but still remained primary a British thing.

Merry Christmas Everybody— not released in the US as far as I know

Noddy Holder was more of the “face” of Slade (head to toe plaid, mutton chops, top hat covered in mirrors). I suspect the all-plaid outfit on Col. Gentleman in the Vbros cover art is a take on Noddy's look... or he ignored the brief and dressed as one of Scotland's own Bay City Rollers.

Slade suffered from a lesser case of Cheap Trick syndrome, where every member dressed like they were in a different band. Dave dressed full spaceman-- face glitter, every variety of metallic fabric available (lurex, glitter knit, vinyl, lamé). The other guitarist whose name I won't look up wore a red lurex suit (I guess that would be Pete's outfit in their cover band) which he had to keep replacing because he sweated so much on stage the fibers literally melted (one of the suits was preserved by the V&A on an episode of Secrets of the Museum) And no one cares about the drummer.

The only reason I know anything about Slade — I'm no rock trivia geek, I’m a comedy nerd — Slade was a constant punchline in 1990s British Comedy. Noddy appeared on Never Mind the Buzzcocks in the LaMar era. The 1993 sketch show The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer had a recurring mini-sitcom “Slade in Residence” (the band living in a suburban home together, wearing their stage costumes, eating nothing but cup-of-soup, obsessing over monster truck rallies and­— the key to their appeal to Vic and Bob, I imagine­— whining in thick Black Country accents.)

Billy is my Covid muse and if he stars in the annual Christmas cover (he had only sung before on 2006's VentureAid; read poems on their take on the Beatles Fan Club records), it's not like I CAN'T draw something despite saying I was done with this fan art shit. I promised a *technically* Christmas Billy drawing and I *technically* delivered. ___

*Dave Hill was just being a futuristic spaceman, those micro-bangs were the hotness on all the skater girls of the late 1990s.

**Having the #1 song at Christmas is a big deal in the UK (as you may remember from the Bill Nighy segments from Love Actually) and the 1973 slug match between Slade's Merry Christmas Everybody and the eventual winner Wizzard’s I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday looms large in music trivia, to the degree that I was sure Astrobot Go was going to release a cover a day later of some other (more fan-favored) characters doing their version of Wizzard to rain on Billy et. al’s parade.

→ Wizzard

So which character dons the beard and harlequin eye facepaint to be the guy from Wizzard? Probably Hank, right?
