It's the most horrifying time of the year again as the gang at Planet Express prepare for the robot Santa Claus' annual ""slay"" ride. But President Nixon's head has announced that Santa's been reprogrammed to be nice this Christmas, and to prove it, the robot's going to deliver presents to anybody willing to await his arrival in Times Square on Christmas Eve. Has Santa really changed his evil ways? Or is there a plot afoot more insidious than a movie by Oliver Stone's head? And what does all this have to do with Bender winning a lifetime supply of Olde Fortran? Find out who's really being naughty and nice! Stuffing your stocking early this October! FC, 32pg

Uh... one has to wonder why they're releasing this in October rather than December.

[Reply #2 on:]

yeah, there should be another due out in December cos it's bi-monthly so it seems a bit strange to be releasing the Christmas story in October.
But hey, who cares? at least they're releasing it every two months and not cancelling the Christmas stories like some FOX network that shall go un-named...!

Forget about the Xmas story on the comic, what about the one on tv, I want to see it!

The reason it is being released two months before xmas, is because if they released it in dec, it would be on sale the day AFTER xmas. 


I'm hoping they will make an AOI story for dec. 

Btw, the release date of this comic is: October 24th.

Btw, 2,  did we really need hat spoiler thingy?  I mean it's no different then giving a description of an episode.  And most of the time the descriptions don't give anything away.

The October issue sounds jerkin'(Sorry, J&Pussycats reference).  Hopefully, it'll be as good as the past issues and have something for everyone. ::Theta crosses fingers and prays for mistletoe::

I was under the impression that the next issue would have fry competing in a "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire"-esque competion with Morbo hosting. Was that just a promo, or is the fault of my crappy local drugstore who releases the comics whenever they damn well please?
