Firstly, as Editor of CommanderBond.Net now for just under a year I would like, along with all the staff of CommanderBond.Net, to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. May all your dreams and wishes come true. And the best of peace, health and joy to you and yours. Thank you for all your support this year, it's been greatly appreciated.

Australian based artist and CBn fan Phil Cornell, known to those who use the forums as 'White Persian', has recently completed this one of a kind artwork to celebrate Christmas in a James Bond way. For this image, we can't thank him enough.

I urge all Bond fans to take a very close look at "Q's Sack" to see what goodies you can find in there. You'll all be pleasently surprised I assure you!

And please don't forget to visit this thread in the CommanderBond.Net Forums, where we're discussing Christmas and this brilliant image by White Persian. Please leave a message for him! Thank you.

And again, from all the staff at CommanderBond.Net have a Merry and Safe Christmas.



And then Bond remembered. But of course! It was Christmas Eve! God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing ye dismay! Bond's skis hissed an accompaniment as he zigzagged fast down the beautiful snow slope. White Christmas! Well, he's certainly got himself that.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Ian Fleming

Wonderful image White Persian. How long did it take to complete that, and to think up the things in "Q's sack". They are soooo many! Great job.

I finally get some more time off around Christmas and I'll use that to lurk around these Forums and find some good Bond stuff, quite a lot. These boards are great!

I wish you all a Merry Season. See you on the boards soon.

I love it!!! Very good! Blue Eyes, I know you're probably one step ahead of me, but I suggest you pop it in the cartoon comedy section of the fan art. Well done White Persian! Merry Christmas everyone!!

Just one question:is the girl supposed to resemble anyone in particular?


Not wanting to show favouritism to any of Mr Bond's MANY lady friends, the damsel depicted isn't anyone you'd know. Her name is Brandy Mistletoe.
How come I never found anything like that in a Christmas stocking?
Also, not ALL the Q gadgets are authentic...I couldn't fit an Aston Martin in the sack.

A Very Merry Christmas to all from the White Persian

I'm glad you resisted the urge to use Christmas Jones. :)


I have never had any trouble resisting Christmas Jones.

Bit of trivia here. I have the A3 and A4 versions so it's a lot easier for me to see

But look between the Belle Rocket Pack exhaust and Bond's belt from GoldenEye. See that little brown thing that's round? Well it's labelled Fake Nipple :)

How cool!

I was close. Was just looking at the wrong nipple.:)

Wow, that pic is impressive, very detailed, might set that up as my wallpaper I think.

Let me just say that this board rocks, as well made and designed it is, its the members that make it so cool. So many great ideas and different but intreiging views. I can't wait for next year, with Bond 20 creeping closer and finally some real info coming in these are real exciting times. I've been a bit hard on the newer Bond films but I've got a feeling that Bond 20 could very well be the best in years.

I for one can't wait, roll on 2002.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Freemo. :)

White Persian, you are the Van Gogh of Bond fan artists. :)

I take it you're the irresponsible individual that's put silly ideas into Blue Eyes' mind about the bizarre notion that he could be Bond.

I'm trying to check out everything in "Q's Sack", but my eyes keep getting drawn to the nipple poking above the covers. :)

That's a great illustration, White Persian. Did you do the one on Blue Eyes' profile page too? :)

Just wanted to wish everyone here a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Happy New Year too. You've all been a pleasure to speak with and get to know over the last month that I've begun posting here.

I look forward to many more 'Bond' discussions...!

Brandy Mistletoe! What a great Bond Girl name, White Persian. May be you can develop a persona and history for her.

I'm glad you resisted the urge to use Christmas Jones. :)

Marianne, I'm considering joining your "James Bond Diner Community"
You have no objections, do you?

Out of interest, would anyone be interested in buying the original? And if so, for how much?

Great work White Persian, it is great! I'm still trying to name all the gadgets - so many!

I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and a happy new year, especially looking forward to BOND20!

Well I must be the firs to reply to this thread.

White Persian, that is the best thing I could imagine. It turned up on my doorstep about 20 minutes ago (Australia Post is working for once!!) and I just put it online. It's amazing piece of work. So thank you.

Everyone else, take a look in Q's Sack for some interesting items. There's one in particular that really made me laugh.
