Here at Division 18 Headquarters, we resolve to double our comic output in 2008 (that’s right — TWO issues instead of just one). Also, maybe we should take another crack at getting off the sauce… 

Anyway, 2007 was bumpy… so here’s to kickin’ ass in ‘08! Now go buy some comics!

A Christmas Message from Jimmy “The Snake” Hatch:

Ho ho how ya doin’, kiddies. Happy Jesus Day… unless yer one a dem other denominations, like Quackers wit his eight days of potato pancakes and crappy presents. Happy whatever it is you get happy about. I just wanted to remind all a yoos what a great last minute gift an issue of our comic book would be. It’s only three bucks fer those a you dat are hard up fer cash, and it’s got pictures in it fer those a you dat are idiots. Click on through dis here computer link, an’ you can order up a few copies today! (Buy a couple a extras fer New Year’s an’ Valentine’s Day too, cause my wallet ain’t gonna fill itself.)

And don’t ferget… ’tis always da season fer a good beat-down, so yoos better take my advice an’ buy some books to keep me jolly.
Yer Pal,

~Snake

You’ve heard enough from me already. How about clicking over to The Pulse’s interview with Division 18 co-creator, artist, webmaster, and haggis aficionado — Jeremy Donelson!

Jerm let’s you in on his inspirations, his technique,  and even on a few new pages from issue #2 of Division 18: The Union of Novelty Costumed Performers. Click on over and check it out.

Our second issue is in the December Previews and it’s only a few days away from going to the printer — so we want to celebrate! And nothing makes us happier here at Union Headquarters like beatin’ on scabs… but we need your help tracking the scumbags down and taking the fight to them.

Look at this motley bunch, photographed just seconds after we kicked in their door and used them for batting practice. This is the kind of trash we’re lookin’ to take out. So send us any photos you have of creeps like these, the best ones (ie, the ones that help us get our knuckles bloody) will be posted right here on division18.com! (E-mail your pics to Matt@Division18.com or post them to our group on Facebook.)

Word of warning to all entrants: The only thing that chaps our asses worse than a scab is a rat…

Christmas is a magical season of wonder and joy… even in River City. But seeing as how our usual Santa isn’t up for parole until 2015 after getting busted for kiddie pr0n and breaking-and-entering, we had to bring in some new talent this year. We found this guy in the alley behind Mother Effer’s. Once we clean the puke out of his beard and find him some pants, he’ll be perfect!

We’re in the thick of the Festival of Lights, the Jewish gift-giving holiday that poses the question to the Christmas crowd: What’s more important — quality or quantity? Here at the Union (25% Jewish!), we suggest both. Eight copies of Division 18: The Union of Novelty Costumed Performers would make the prefect gifts… and in case you run out of candles for the menorah, they’re flammable!

And don’t forget — be sure to order plenty of copies of issue #2 to give on Passover (Diamond order code: DECo7 3879).

L’chaim!
