Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for December 22, 2013
Transcript:
MAN: Happy holidays, ma'am. WOMAN: I'd like to register a complaint. MAN: And what is the nature of the problem? WOMAN: It's your so-called Santa Claus! WOMAN: Isn't the point to convince children that he really is Santa? MAN: I would think so, yes. WOMAN: Well, he doesn't sound like Santa and he doesn't act like Santa! WOMAN: My 3rd-year-old son asked for a "Thomas The Tank Engine" DVD, and do you know what Santa said? He told him to ask for "True Blood" instead because and I quote, "Anna Paquin is such a hottie!" NATE: School picture guy! GUY: Ssshh! BOY: But I don't want a "walking dead" action figure!

This just stopped kids who believed in Santa to believe that Santa was real at the mall, if they ever did. Tsk, tsk.

You know, school picture guy actually kind of looks like santa! (if he has a smile, if he has no glasses, he covers up his black hair, and i think it will help if he took the bandaid off!) (unless there is an EVIL mark that will scare the kids!

I’m pretty sure most kids are aware that in-store Santas aren’t really “the real one”.
RySonic about 11 years ago
There seems to be an occasional “Thomas the Tank Engine” reference in Big Nate. That really takes me back…

My daughter knows that the store Santa’s are just helpers because the real Santa doesn’t have time to sit in malls.

This is where I try to figure out whether the exclamation point and end quote in panel six are in the right places and either congratulate Lincoln for getting it right or politely tell him he didn’t. Except I don’t really know. Anyone want to enlighten me? That would be nice of you.
