Transcript:
Narrator: A grossly injured Cobra is visited by the Ghost of Christmas present! Spur: Howdy, Lamb child. Cobra Carson: Why can't I ever be visited by the ghost of Christmas schnapps? Look at them hover over you, watching every breath... praying it won't be your last. Spur: Well, of course they're doing that! I'm the center of their lives! Cobra Carson: Question, C.P... do you actually give our presents? 'cause I have a penchant for diamonds. Spur: Hmm. For a percentage, I could speak with Santa for you.

So much for my predictions! Gotta admit Spur is better suited for the role.…That’s what I love about this strip. It’s full of surprises. Although, it’s clear that Christmas Future is going to have to come up with a real humdinger to make Cobra think about how she carries on.

I am going to get bad vibes if Christmas future is going to be the Slim Jim man.
