Christmas Special: Season’s Greetings from J. Jonah Jameson!

All the staff at the Bugle liked Christmas a lot,
But Jonah, who signed all their paychecks, did not.

JJJ hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season,
And not even Robbie really quite knew the reason!

Perhaps it was just the cigars that he smokes?
Or maybe he’s really the meanest of blokes!

But no matter why, children, for as we’ll all soon see,
It’s in ruining Christmas where Jonah finds glee!

It starts at the party–much like most office crises–
With a group of lost children, fresh in from the ices!

Poor Miss Brant was elected as their de facto sitter,
Then a mention of Spidey set the kids all a-twitter!

“Kids?! In MY office?!” Jonah said with a growl,
“I’ll stop them from loving that menace… but.. how?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

…And that’s what made this Jonah’s best Christmas ever.

 

For the scenes shown above (and lots more Yuletide fun), you should check out Spider-Man’s Tangled Web twenty-one! As you can all see, it’s a heck of a book, by the team of J. Bone and–of course!–Darwyn Cooke!

    Wow. J. Jonah Jameson is a dick. Awesome.

    I think JJJ and Supergirl can definitely have that May/November romance thing going.

  3. Joshua says:

    It’s a little-known fact that the Bugle’s printing presses are powered by the tears of innocent children. It’s not that JJJ is a dick (although he clearly is) so much as he’s just really devoted to green energy — at any cost.

    Darwyn Cooke is the best thing to happen to comics since George Perez picked up a technical pen.

    Oh man you even made the reference citation rhyme, Chris you are the BEST!

    *stares in awe at offering*

    I think I am going to cry.

    JJJ, you mean old man!

  8. PMMJ says:

    Man, Tangled Web was so excellent.

  9. Oh! My! Freaking! God! Jonah tricked a bunch of kids into thinking Spider-Man killed Santa! And he enjoyed it!

  10. I forgot to add – kudos on the rhyme, Chris. Very well done!

    DARWYN COOKE Tangled Web was so excellent. Some of the others kinda sucked rocks, but the 2 that Cooke did were so awesome that you could awake to find yourself handcuffed to the Brooklyn Bridge in your tighty-whities the next morning after reading one, and STILL be happy about it. And you don’t even WEAR tighty-whities.

    This entry brought the awesome, big time.

    I think I just learned the true meaning of Christmas. Or something.

  13. bookrats says:

    And even though Jonah is brimming over with holiday evil, he still takes time to make sure the little children are warmly dressed.

    Whatta guy!

  14. Chris says:

    That was a million different kinds of holiday awesome. Thanks.

  15. Chris, somehow you and Darwyn Cooke just seem to go together – like steak and eggs! Hall and Oates! The RIAA and naked greed! ;)

    Best,
    Tim Liebe
    Solstice Greetings to All
