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).

→ hear the cover on KenPlume's youtube → go to the Billy Quizboy & Pete White index

(I know with the orange hair/eyepatch he looks like Ziggy Stardust— the Quizboy:Slade ratio is a delicate balance.)

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

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 break into the US until the 1980s (when they replaced Ozzy Osborne at the Reading Festival) with Cum on Feel the Noize, pivoting to be more hard rock/metal.

Noddy Holder was more of the “face” of Slade (head to toe plaid, mutton chops, tophat 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) in shades of silver. 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)... 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 Brit Comedy. Noddy appeared on Never Mind the Buzzcocks in the LaMar era. 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 shit. I promised you guys a *technically* Christmas Billy drawing and I *technically* delivered.

Now I'm gonna switch to drawing characters I own so I can finally make some money. Godblessuseveryone. ___

*Dave Hill was just being a futuristic spaceman, those micro-bangs were the hottness on all the skater girls of the late 1990s. I even had 'em.

**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?

Mistigram: For months, we puzzled over how to dovetail @DosDocone's mission, of drawing block #ASCIIart infofiles for canonical authors, with our own artpack release schedule. #BahHumbug! Here, with #CharlesDickens' #AChristmasCarol, we found the middle path. This #ANSIart screen was included in our wintery new MIST1222 artpack collection. #GodBlessUsEveryOne!

Fun holiday fact: The director of this film was also the editor to the Alastair Sim version.

My daughter nine years ago, with colored turkey eggs. Not allowed to see her last Christmas and not allowed to call on her birthday, by clearly criminal local police officers, no lawful reason whatsoever. And that’s a wrap, I think. “In Soviet Russia, kids rattle and into cages get put by the #MinnesotanICE sometimes. Whatever, Pilgrims,” said my literal ancestors, congregationally consanguinous with the Harriet Beecher Stowe’s, imprisoned turkily. Pardon my French’s mustardche, T Pain🥖🥐⚜️. Tomorrow is a good day for All Families That Matter https://youtu.be/h4UqMyldS7Q My great-grand Uncle James led the United States 35th Colored Troops. They probably didn’t need much leading. #NoRetreating #NoAttentionDeficitDisorder #gigapopjokes #dadjokes #TurdUckenMatters #HappyWednesday #GodBlessUsEveryone (at Plymouth Rock, Plymouth, Mass.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWqiBvYJCPU/?utm_medium=tumblr

#merryChristmas Their first full #NYCChristmas Day since she was 3 days old, Which was a day after her first visit to church at 2 days old, and, sadly, this is also their first Christmas without their grandparents and cousins who spoil and love them so much; But #Christmas2020 isn’t a complete bust; To me, It’s a gift that came in a busted ass box that was run over a couple times by the delivery truck before it was dropped off at our door; But the inside the box was just enough bubble wrap to save the precious cargo inside; #MerryChristmas #godBlessUsEveryone (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJP0xLAjpdE/?igshid=ehwfmvq6fwmv
