Vacation Supercolor Fun Special (Summer 2000), followed by Jingle Belle's All-Star Holiday Hullabaloo (Winter 2000), a collection of short stories. 2001 brought the one-shots "The Mighty Elves" (Summer 2001) and "Jubilee" (Winter 2001). "The Mighty Elves" was nominated for a 2002 Eisner Award in the category of "Best Humor Publication", losing to the Simpsons comic "Radioactive Man". Oni Press' final Jingle Belle one-shot was "Winter Wingding" (Winter 2002). Dini and Jose Garibaldi then worked on the first Jingle Belle graphic novel, Dash Away All. The project fell behind schedule and the decision was made to publish the uninked pencils rather than delay the book until the following year. The graphic novel appeared in digest format in December 2003, along with short stories including one about Hanukkah co-written with David Mandel. Publication of Jingle Belle stories moved to Dark Horse Comics, which published a four-issue color miniseries illustrated by Garibaldi: "A Very Special Jingle Belle Special" (Nov. 2004), "Belle's Beaus" (Dec. 2004), and the two-part "Ring-a-Ding Jing" (Feb. & April 2005). December 2005 saw the appearance of the one-shot "The Fight Before Christmas", illustrated by Stephanie Gladden. In December 2006 came "The Bakers Meet Jingle Belle", a one-shot illustrated by Kyle Baker in which Jing has a Christmas Eve encounter with the artist and his family. She also made a cameo appearance in "Springfield's Letters To Santa", a story written by Dini appearing in The Simpsons Winter WingDing #1. In 2007, Dini debuted his creator-owned character Madame Mirage at Top Cow Productions. Having a good relationship with the company, he decided to move his other creator-owned characters, including Jingle Belle, over to Top Cow. A new imprint, DiniCartoons, was launched in order to publish them. The intent was also to develop stories around Jing's supporting characters Polly Green, the Halloween witch; Tashi Ounce, the Tibetan snow leopard; and Sheriff Ida Red, who had already starred in her own miniseries and trade paperback (Mutant, Texas) in the Oni Press days. New characters, such as Little Rashy and Superrica the sock monkeys, and Hyper Hyena, were also planned for development. The first one-shot for Top Cow, "Santa Claus vs. Frankenstein", appeared in December 2008, with Stephanie Gladden returning on art. In 2010, Top Cow solicited a new Jingle Belle trade paperback collection, Stocking Stuffers, which would have included "Santa Claus vs. Frankenstein", a new one-shot entitled "Grounded", a story co-starring Polly Green called
