This is my homage to Johnny Hart.  I considered his holiday poems a special treat and will miss looking for a new rhythmic quip on such occasions.  Sadly, we lost a good cartoonist this year.  And I suspect a good man, as well.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

And the big day draws ever-nearer.

Man…I had this idea and though it was pretty good…wrote it down…sat down and drew it all out, scanned it into the computer, finished it all up.  And now that I can look at the finished product, I gotta say, that is the worst Santa in history.  I think the store would throw him out on his ear.

But, it is kind of realistic from a certain perspective.  You know Santa is the kind of guy that starts sentences with "Why."  Cuz, you know, he's from that generation.  "Why, when I was a boy…"  "Why, sure!"  It’s the Why Generation.

Running an old strip today.  Had a great weekend with family, so I'm not even going to try to fit in a strip.  Hope you guys had a good one as well!

Don't worry, this is the last one of this line…  I know it's been a little silly, but I thought it was fun.  Especially this one.

More word silliness...

If there’s a class on etymology out there somewhere, lesson number 1 should be, "If it sounds like something Bush would say, you’re WAY off."

Now, for the record, my wife DID ask for yarn for Christmas.  Honest.  That’s what she ASKED for…  Really.  Stop looking at me like that.

Unless it's the Spider-Man i-Dog, then it might be acceptable.

I'm sure my wife is tired of the not-so-subtle hints.  For expensive things.  Very very expensive things.  Very very expensive and geeky and impractical useless things…

This is from a series of strips that introduced a new character named Abby.  She hasn’t been back to Stranger Things since the whole Alan-gets-laid-off thing, so I kind of miss her sometimes.  I thought this particular one was fun and can stand alone apart from the storyline well enough.
