I knew this was going to be something amazing when I first saw the announcement, but I wasn't expecting it to be THIS fun! Thanks to this, you now have me eager to see what else you have planned for each day's door! XD

I mean, the first few pages definitely lulled me into a false sense of "oh, so it's just gonna be a warmhearted holiday series of drawings like his advent calendar was, But witha  PLOT!" ...And then the balloon came in, and MJ went through some kind of nightmarish tunnel... ...Actually, I wonder if 13th took some cues from that one tunnel scene from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. lol

But anyway, then things got down to business and I was already hooked, since I wanted to see what would happen to MJ next. But then I show up unexpectedly, and I'm going "I'M IN THIS TOO?! 0_0 This oughta be crazy. XD" I also appreciate giving me an early debut. Thanks Cara. ^_^ Also happy to see one of my guesses as to what the location was turned out to be true. lol I was already wondering "OK, so MJ and I have either become the most recent victims of FMF's evil reality warping schemes, we somehow wandered into 13th's hat, or this could be a lag demon trap or plan of some sort, or... something else...?" Now that I see one of my guesses was right, I feel super clever and smart now. ^_^

Everything afterward was just lots of fun in all sorts of ways. lol I loved seeing the interactions between 13, MJ and myself, as well as all the unusual stuff my madman brother was doing. He has quite the sense of humor, huh? XD My favorite panels involving 13th are most likely when he first shows up and reveals he bought a cat, and then never mentions it again, and when he blinds MJ and me just to check our expressions, and finally, when he just snaps his fingers after I decline his request and we fall down some trap wormhole door thing. XD Those amused me a lot. :)

I'm also trying to figure out what happened to MJ's head in the CCA1 64.JPG panel. o_o It either looks like he's nodding, or more strangely and somehow amusingly to me, his head either became some kind of Noh mask or it looks like it's about to fall off for some reason. XD Dunno why, but the more bizarre and over the top explanations just sound the most interesting to me. In any case, I like your art style as always, and in this new project of yours, I think it's really complimenting your story telling skills nicely. :)

I am definitely looking forward to more as the days pile up. Good luck with this adventure you're creating for all of us, Cara, and I hope it doesn't stress you out too much. >.<
