An admission: the Pinky and the Brain Christmas Special television show is one of the few Christmas specials that makes me cry every time. I love these little mice, and their discovery (well, The Brain's discovery) of the meaning of Christmas gets me every time.
He's not quite as open-minded in today's comic, but that's okay. Sometimes a mouse just has to take over the world.
I'm not certain what it is, but the P&B comics just don't grab me the same way that the television series did. It could be the lack of voice - so much of these characters is bound up in the voices we hear. I can't imagine someone reading this comic who has never heard the TV series - what would the Brain sound like? And Pinky? And his "Narf"s?
Perhaps one day the Brain will find a Christmas plan that doesn't involve infiltrating Santa's workshop. This is twice now it hasn't worked out for him.
To be continued.
