Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for December 22, 1991

Transcript:

Nate: Somebody's got to pull the sleigh! Ellen: What's in the bag? Nate: My christmas present for Dad! Ellen: Dad's really hard to buy stuff for, don't you think? I mean, it's not like he goes around dropping hints or anything! I try to ask myself: "If I were Dad, what would I want?" "Is there anything Dad really needs? Anything I can buy that will make his life easier?" Nate: You're asking yourself the wrong questions, Ellen! You should try my approach! I ask myself: "If Dad doesn't like this gift, is it something I can use?" Ellen: Merry Christmas. Nate: Here, help me wrap this.
