Once again, mystery, drama and intrigue descend upon the hallowed halls of Steve Does Comics, in much the same way that a dread mist descends upon every moor top in this land whenever there is a devil-hound on the prowl.
And that's because no man can know what is to happen next.
No one but one man.
Or possibly, one woman.
Or even one household pet.
Because whomsoever posts tonight's topic for debate, in the comments section below, can know.
Therefore, if you are that person, make sure to do just that and disperse those nightmarish mists of intrigue, in order to allow through the revealing rays of uncanny enlightenment.

Charlie feels like throwing an early log on the fire to warm up heh, heh.
Do you truly consider “Last Xmas” by George Michael to be an xmas song?
Also do you have a go-to fast-food place when you need a quick bite? What do you usually get?
"Last Xmas" always recalls feelings of loneliness in my mid-teens. It's definitely an X-mas classic, in spite of that!
My go-to fast food place is the local chippy, but only once or twice a year.
Most fast food places don't go the distance, these days. A few years, and they're gone!

I too intended to ask a festive-related question but ignore if you wish...
What food and drink do you like specially for Christmas?
Our American readers can include Thanksgiving food and drink.
If I'm out doing Christmas shopping in the local mall at Bluewater and need something to eat in a hurry, I don't head for the food court with its long queues and having to wander around with a tray of food searching for a table.
No sir. I head to M&S food, grab a dry roll and a mini wedge of Brie. Then head outside, find an out of the way spot, open up the roll, squidge in the cheese (using the rind so I don't get messy) and munch on it while window shopping.
If not in a hurry, that's a different matter. Fish and chips if it's a Brighton concert, KFC for a Shepherds Bush concert, icy coffee and cake in a coffee shop if out shopping.
Oh, good question from Colin.
My Christmas drink is Baileys & vienetta. Like Baileys & ice but with a slice of vienetta rather than ice. And this is a drink to drink from a glass, not to be confused with vienetta and Baileys, a dessert to serve in a bowl and eat with a spoon.
And for food at Christmas we have a mash family foible. Nobody understands the point of turkey so we don't bother with it and go large on the pigs in blankets instead.
Colin! Tasty question!
Charlie’s extended family (20-30 folks) typically have a turkey and a ham, mashed potatoes , sweet potatoes (yams), green beans, salad, and pumpkin pie. Oh yes… cranberries in various forms and gravy are mandatory because, quite honestly, turkey and mashed potatoes are bland… very bland.
For mr. and mrs. Charlie’s immediate family (around 10 of us) we now do a rack of pork roasted in the oven, sauteed potatoes, green beans, salad. And a pumpkin pie or two (organic of course). Mrs. Charlie’s family had never had a rack of pork before but now they prefer it to turkey and ham. Especially once they learned the darker meat next to the bone IS THE BESTEST STUFF EVER!
And for xmas drink: Charlie and wife are pretty limited: french reds, cognac, scotch and/or a French liquor “Gentiane” made from the plant and its flowers. We do keep some lagers, white wine, etc. for company!
Colin - In the past, Quality Street was a must. Last year, however, with the silver wrappers replaced by kill-joy paper, I boycotted it, to make my displeasure felt!
Apart from that some cheapo supermarket Xmas cake, chocolate log, or Matchmakers.
