Jackson Public and Doc Hammer have released their annual Venture Bros. Christmas song, and this year it’s a rendition of Baby It’s Cold Outside performed by The Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend. Basically, they’re just bitching at each other.

Have a listen and/or download the MP3 here (slightly NSFW).

Mike Maihack has drawn a few adorable Batgirl and Supergirl comics in his day. In this latest installment, he shows us how the two superheroes plan to celebrate Christmas. I especially like the pom poms on Batgirl’s ears.

Trekkies will no doubt be making a pilgrimage to to East Peoria, Illinois, where word has it this epic USS Enterprise Christmas light display is currently wowing passersby. Details seem to be sparse, but hopefully the web will provide all the answers in due time.
