OOTS 2016 Villains Calendar and 2015 Holiday Ornament

[Grey_Wolf_c]

See, this is the benefit of having a memory like a goldfish. I can enjoy the jokes now, and enjoy them later.

Yes, my SO is like that as well. I like to think that my almost-perfect recall memory helps in other ways (like the MitD thread), but I am quite jealous of how my SO can enjoy a film/book/comic over and over as if they had never seen it before.

For those of us who spoiled themselves by reading all the art, a question. What do the red letter inscriptions on April and June say? I'm not so good at parsing that font.

[DaggerPen]

I just read it all at once and then put it back in the box to keep it protected, then use my phone calendar for the rest of the year.

... I'm probably not doing this right.

I did the exact same thing with the 2014/2015 calendars and honestly expect myself to do it again once the 2016 arrives. [+ once in a while doing a reread of them]

I haven't received a shipping notification or calendar yet in Philadelphia, should I be worried?

Can you be more specific about the inscriptions you want me to parse for you? I'm happy to do so.

The calendars have finally arrived in Australia!

Spoiler: Spoilers I guess?

The MiTD and demon roach pages were my favourites, though Redcloak's and Xykon's commentary on Tarquin's page was great (though all the commentary is pretty much gold anyway).

Is anyone else having difficulty with the website for ordering the calendar? I didn't get it for Christmas so now I'm going to have to order it myself and I want to as soon as possible so it can get to the UK before March... :D

The old link doesn't work anymore. Guess Ook made some changes to their store links.
You can find the calendar here: http://ookoodook.myshopify.com/colle...lains-calendar

Marvellous, thank you! Ordered now, I shall await my calendar with baited breath...

It looks like the axe has the same inscription as in the comic, but I don't know what font it is or whether it has any meaning. Maybe it is just its name? (Soul-Muncher)

As for the console I don't know, but it isn't the font Dark Vaarsuvius uses, but something else.

Ah. The game console is a cryptogram in a script unfamiliar to me (certainly not the Roman alphabet). I haven't deciphered it yet.

The post office thought they'd delivered it while I wasn't home, but somehow it never got to me. Ookoodook was kind enough to send a new one, and it looks terrific!

[The Giant]

Going to unsticky this, since the calendar pre-orders have shipped. If you have any issues with your order, your best bet is to contact Ookoodook directly (rather than posting here) at this point.

What is written on the game console and on the ax.

With the help of the solved cryptogram in OOTS #1020 (Scroll Left), I have solved the cryptogram on the April 2016 calendar page.

My calendar arrived today (in Germany) - shame that January is already over. Overall, I liked the hero calendar better (scenes depicted and jokes inside) but it still is comedy gold and looks great on the wall!

[tommy123]

Thank you for your calendars.

Thought this was a thread for OOTP, the baseball simulator... Sad now.

Any chance of us able to buy PDF versions of old calendars?
