New Adventures of Queen Victoria by Pab Sungenis for December 22, 2009

I’m liking this arc.

You’re correct Assama. To move on to the next round tell us why Islam ripped off Jesus & added a sword to sell it.

Unfortunately, I’ve got to agree with him. Bah, humbug!

Even as a Christian, I’ll admit it’s true. We had no idea when Jesus was born, and since the pagans had saturnalia, and everyone was celebrating anyway, we figured we’d mix our holiday in with theirs, seeing as how everyone already had the day off and all.

This is why we celebrate the joy of Christ year round! :)

Merry Christmas, happy holidays, happy Hanukkah, joyous Kwanzaa, happy solstice, and have a nice day.

Pick whatever applies to you, and know it came from my heart!

MERRY CHRISTMAS,PAB. and MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU!!

You know, my and Klaatu’s story is much like the Christmas story … a man of peace comes down to earth to save the world … adopts the name Mr. Carpenter … wise men from across the world come to see him … he delivers his message of peace only to be killed, resurrected, and ascend into the heavens again.

Since Klaatu and I believe in Christ we wish everyone a Merry Christmas whether they believe in Christ or not. If those who follow some other faith want to wish us seasons greetings appropriate to THEIR faith … well, we’re happy to receive them. Peace and love should transcend every place and culture. MERRY CHRISTMAS to Pab and everyone who posts on GoComics.

Excellent, Pab!

@ Librarian: thank you! And the same to you.

notice that this is the only time of the year that the english word ‘merry’ is used?

except for : eat, eat drink and be merry ….etc etc

this is just a little JAD , since he isn’t around here today…. I could go into the origins of the word and the history of christmas and what job I used to have forty years ago, but since nobody really cares and this is the time of year to be ‘merry’…… then I won’t

As a respectful pagan, I wish everyone a peaceful holiday season, no matter what path you tread. May we all have enough of what we want and need, and little to none of what we don’t. Happy Hannukah, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Good Hijri and Peaceful Solstice to all. Good Festivus!! ;) Now go check on your neighbours. It’s cold.

I love the original “Grinch” cartoon– the narration by Boris Karloff is exquisite.

“…But, whatever the reason, his heart or his shoes, he stood there on his mountaintop, hating the Whos.”

I refuse to watch the Jim Carrey movie. I dislike it sight unseen– one of the few things I won’t try first (liver’s another: there’s your benchmark).

@Ravynne - Happy Festivus to you too. Let the feats of strength begin.

The Imam who Stole Christmas? I can’t wait to see the stand-in for Cindylou Who.

Hillary Clinton?

Steverino:

I’ve seen the Jim Carrey movie, and you’re right when you dislike it.

@bpshand Re: JAD

These are references to another commenter, most notably at “The Elderberries”. Doesn’t post here, I think. Appears to be unfamiliar with the concepts “Brevity is the soul of wit” and “Too much information”, among others.

I also wish everyone out there aHappy and joyful Yule, a Merry Christmas and any other religious holiday out there, plus best wishes to all the atheists and sceptics. May all work together for the good of all creatures on Mother Earth.

Osama thinks all the world’s problems are due to a Whoish conspiracy.

Hey Pab and everyone else. Seasons greetings. Love the strip.

@bpshand Sorry. I thought you were asking about the initials. On second reading, I now see that you were were “speaking” somewhat tongue in cheek. He doesn’t bother me as much as he does some people, but then I’ve got myself trained to recognize his avatar or login name and then skip to the next comment.
