I remember a strip from years ago: carolers were singing “Deck the Halls”. The king walked away. Rodney (I think) reminded the king that carolers are usually offered something. The king said, “I’ll give it to them when they learn all of the words!” Not an exact quote, but that’s how I remember it. It always cracked me up, and makes me giggle every time I hear the song.
I always thought it was:“Not a creature was stirring because the Mice were already marinating for the Christmas dinner special dish, Honey Roasted Mouse.”

’Twas the month before Christmas: through the whole universe,
Stupid buggers were reciting this horrible verse….

The ex-terminator is also the ex-governor. Where is he now?

If you ever get a chance, read Christmas in the Trenches by John McCutcheon. Interesting book based on a true event known as the Christmas Truce…

What happened to my favourite comic? Why are the characters suddenly drawn differently? Did nobody notice this? Is this an older version???

Rodney and the duke actually look quite similar to the original artwork (‘64). The fink definitely doesn’t.
