Guest comic by Markel!
Merry xmas and also (k/c)han(n)(a/i/u)k(k)a(h) or whatever your winter solstice celebration variant, kids
Here is my present to myself: forcing my friend to make a comic for me so I don’t have to (except I did one anyway, dang). N8 wove the bacon in the comic into a bacon-mat before we fried it, by the way. Like this.
Thanks Markle

This just makes it clear to me how little sleep Ive gotten this past week. You forgot to mention the rainbow behind n8 the unicorn in the panel with “3 hours later”. That’s one of the most important parts!

Bacon mat? Brilliant!
Remember the miniature breakfast? Tiny bacon! Tiny toast! Tiny Tomatoes! Tiny (quail) eggs!
I should really put those photos up sometime . . .

Hi Niki! You should, it was one of my most memorable breakfasts! (And deeelicious, too.)

I’ve been looking all over St. Louis for the requisite ingredients in Tiny Breakfast (most notably quail eggs) but with out any luck. I hear legends of Asian supermarkets on Olive Blvd., but so far these have all been “Here Be Quail Eggs” tales.
I have made, to a very slight degree of success, a dessert of chocolate-covered bacon. (If you happen to be friends with me on the Facebooks, you can see the misadventures unfold in an appropriately titled photo album.) I happened to be sick at the time I made it and was in no mood to eat bacon covered in anything. Such, when I finally decided to consume it, it was cold and unpalatable. In the future, I hope to improve my bacon- dipping and weaving talents (hopefully making a mat out of up to eight strips and in non-Euclidean geometries [imagine hyperboloidal bacon!]) and to experiment more with the cooking powers of the waffle iron.

Your hunt has been a wild quail chase, if you will. People are telling you tall quails.
And ummmmm choco-bacon. I bet if both the bacon and chocolate were hot, it would be amazing for about one bite. You should make a hyperboloidal bacon cup and fill it with…more bacon. Or make a bacon Klein bottle and fill everything with bacon!

You misrepresented the spelling of the holiday a bit. It should be:
/c?hann?ukk?ah?/
At least according to this page (ignoring the Spanish spellings). Though who’s to say anything transliterated from a non-Roman alphabet is correct?
(PS: Check out the music video on that page. It accurately portrays the agony of inscrutable spelling.)

Yeah, I was referencing another website with yet more alternate spellings (including “Khanukkah”, which I assume is the favored spelling of Jews of the Mongolian Steppes).
