The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for December 21, 2009

Looks like baby Jesus is playing, too.

Jesus does in fact have a Wiimote. No, it is not a bottle, the orange bit at the end are his fingers, not the teat of the bottle.

Since they didn’t have baby bottles back then anymore than they had Wiimotes, I like the idea of Baby Jesus whooping Mary & Joseph in Wiibowling! Eventually, they’re all going to say, “No fair! You always win!”

CDWARD You’re right! I’d hate to play poker with Jesus.

Oh bowling night, the pins are all a-falling. This is the night for the Savior’s seven ten split.

uh, just for the record- if it says ’ genius’ after the name, it just means they pay a bit to not have ads pop up on their gocomic pages….why gocomics chooses us call them ‘genius’ ? maybe they are just being grateful for squeezing some much needed bucks out of us……..some of the postings I’ve seen through here (mine included) could hardly qualify as genius

WII Three Kings of Orient Are!

Good one celecca!

I’m with nighthawks, except I think the last word might be, “literate.”

Thank you, my fellow regular posters. The joke is much better if it’s a wiimote that he’s holding.

I don’t think the Kid’s remote is controlling the TV set.

LOL funny!!!

@nighthawks So “Genius” status means you don’t see any ads? I thought the only advantage of “Genius” status was that you had full access to the comic archives. I might have to reconsider going “Genius”. Like FishStix, I use Firefox with Adblock Plus, but I’ve found that it occasionally blocks some non-ad things that I’d like to see.

You still get stuff in the ad windows about gocomics itself, but no outside junk and no popups. And of course full access to the archives.

Jesus please make the clueless one stop. Amen.

Twitch one of us clueless folk be you referring?

Here he is early on in his film career:

THE CLUELESS ONE

Thinginthebasement and All: The Kingston Trio has a song on their (oldie but goodie) Christmas album in which Jesus asks his mother if he could go outside and play ball. She tells him there are “three jolly children” playing on a hill, “but let me hear no complaint of You when You come home again.” “But the children said, ‘We are royal sons, and we will not play at ball, for you are but a poor maid’s child born in an oxen stall.’… so he built them a bridge of the beams of the sun, and over the pools they played…” The children’s mothers told Mary to call Jesus home, afraid their children would drown.

I’m not sure where that story came from, but it doesn’t seem too odd to put on an album celebrating His birth the way they did it. There is another song that has some obscure biblical context, as well. “Children Go where I Send Thee.” The lyrics I found under their name weren’t as they are on the album I mentioned ( The Last Month of the Year ), but some Peter, Paul, and Mary lyrics were closer.
