Episode 294
If you are a new reader, you might want to subscribe to “Holiday Wars” as well as start reading it from the beginning. Once you’re caught up on the main storyline then checkout the side stories in “Tales of Holiday’s Past.”
Bye bye Teddy.
FRIDAY FOR THE WIN!! Surely someone's said it before, but TGIF!!
Seriously, this battle-axe black guy is quickly becoming my favorite character ever. Next to Taylor. Eh, maybe a little more than Taylor.
We still have a little more than a month of story left. There is still time for him to die 🙂
You're just trying to bring me down, aren't you, Scott? You already killed Taylor, why can't you let Friday survive??
Beth, Stupid, and Tegan will all appear in Volume 2 for sure. That's gotta count for something, right?
As for the fates of Friday, Opposite, and April Fools… you'll have to wait and see.
Wwweellll…..I *am* curious about Beth. Opposite lost an arm, so he's handicapped at best; the Fool looks like he'll be mighty tricky to kill; but I WANT FRIDAY ALIVE!!!
I guess it's a good thing if your readers are pitching hissy fits over your story, yeah? Shows we're deeply involved? 😀
It's good but weird. Volume 1 was written over three years ago. Shoot even Volume 2 was written a year ago. So story-lines and plots are locked in stone. I couldn't change anything now, even if I wanted. As a result I sort of just cross my fingers hoping you guys are digging all the choices I've made with the story.
hey you cant kill him!! he even more powerful then actual holiday!
Huzzah! Hurray hurray! Black Friday killed Teddy!
Wine glass to the throat! 😀
Technically it was a martini glass 😉
Ah yes, got the wrong beverage, lol
A very, very good question.
Now is he talking big, or can he back it up?
We'll find out.
😛 Hey -I- care about President's day, but I realize that since he got saddled with the villainball it's necessary.
Just goes to show, you can never trust politicians.
We could before Nixon…
FOR NYORLOTH!
Teddy is dead but there are still 43 of them. So at least (for now) President's Day is still alive and kicking in the "Holiday Wars" universe.
And with a "hive mind", the other presidents now know not to face Friday alone.
Good thing, otherwise Friday would be crazy talking to people who aren't really there.
Hm… Inebriation + Not Being Overestimated = Dead Presidents, I guess.
Technically speaking Friday always had the strength to kill Teddy (One of the reasons Teddy could beat the crap out of him and he's still alive). The difference is that until now he never tried a full on attack. Sure he punched him and threw credit cards at him but what's that going to do? He's not gambit and he doesn't have super punches or anything.
Also – Mr. Friday used Teddy's wineglass , which is to say, President's Day's artifact, for the kill, as opposed to his own (which did diddly). I think that is part of the reason this worked. After all, what does Black Friday do, but move useful goods at a crucial moment for the benifit of Capitalism?
Good theory, but nope. No artifacts like that in the "Holiday Wars" Universe.
Hmmm…. This move was to the throat this reminds me a bit of the Chronicles of Rodrick (The whole tea-cup to the chest thing)…. However, I like Friday's move better, more functional and more emasculating in the long-run… Can't wait for the next one, but no pressure though…
"Next one?" as in Volume 2? As in the next episode? As in the next death? Or what?
Boom, what I said a few pages ago was right.
That was episode 278 on January 30th. No one remembers that far back. 😉
…but yeah you and a few others were right.
So, if he was always stronger then Teddy to begin with, why did he let him beat the tar out of him in the first place?
Because he was buying as much time as possible for Tegan to do whatever it was she was going to do. Honestly, it makes since. Yeah you take the chance of getting killed but at least you'll still do what you were planning to do at the outset.
I don't think he knew he was. It wasn't until Teddy beat him and he didn't die did he start to suspect. I think.
Friday didn't know he was stronger. Theoretically an Observance should never be strong enough to kill a Holiday. …but Teddy isn't a full Holiday. He's just a piece of a Holiday. Plus things seem to be changing in the "Holiday Wars" universe.
Oh heck yeah!
No tears for Teddy?
Friday is flipping bad ash. Now I want to see him fight April Fools powered up by Tegan!
We cut back to Tegan/The Fool tomorrow so you'll have an answer soon.
SALES SALES SALES! The President's day sale was brutal… But, Black Friday is gonna leave ya dead! Huzza!
Yeah President's Day sales are never for anything good. Black Friday deals are normally for EVERYTHING.
Thank you Friday for finally clicking to what I've been saying all along… (Not that he can hear me of course =) )
Or maybe he can hear you. Dun dun dunnnn!
