    Earl i would have suggested you show off your handyman skills and patch the ceiling if you had any. Maybe you can salvage whats left of the Christmas Tree.

    Hopefully, they used unbreakable ornaments when they decorated the tree. Being old-timers, they might know that those exist.

    Opal better not go blaming Muffin or Roscoe on the tree’s fall; how would they get up there is questioning.

    The scourge of gravity! Seriously it’s a good thing. It does keep us rooted to the ground! :-)

    The tree is frowning in panel 3 and smiling in panel 4!

    Maybe a portent of things to come!

    yup, even the tree thinks this year stinks, not that being on the ceiling has anything to do with it.

    When Prince Albert introduced Christmas trees to Great Britain, he hung them from the palace ceiling – not upside down, though.

    True, and a great example why to wait a few years before buying that new Wonder Glue.

    I saw on TV where a person had a Christmas tree with a train going round it on the ceiling. Didn’t fall.

    How many soldiers have to die because The Tick’s gravity isn’t cruel enough? If it was as cruel as thought, we wouldn’t have a desolate city trying to take over NY to take over the entire country. We wouldn’t have soldiers fighting for their leader who prayed for the woman God gave him either, because we still have the right to pray. We would have more shovels and less chat AND we would know who keeps the books and why HE is trusted over someone with a backpack under constant attack. Just a heads up. And Pa isn’t stupid either. A tree dies when we cut one down know matter how we hang.

    Upside-down Christmas trees were a fad a couple years ago. I’d forgotten about it until this comic.

    When we erect our Festivus pole, I always use 3 or 4, #10-2" screws, just to keep that puppy from shifting.

    That post from krisannrthomsom is more than a little bizarre. Maybe it’s A.I. generated?

    Ben’s right. America has been in a “bizarro mode” since 2016. Right is wrong, left is right, bad is good, in is out…
