Santa!

I don’t get it.

So that’s the chimney? Thought it was the entrance to the hill…

Ants do FACEPLANTS !

S-ANT-a Claus!

Gettin’ in a little practise for something in a few months, eh?

You learn something new every day, when I read this as a kid I just assumed he had been cheeky to his wife and suffered the consequences…

Only in the cartoons…

Also, in the 60’s, “Daddy” was slang, similar to “Hey man!”…..most likely this is not a son talking to his father in the second panel. Just in case anyone was wondering.

I never even thought of the Santa thing. I figured he did a sort-of “wink-wink-nudge-nudge” to his wife and she shot him up and out of the “hill”… ☺

“… laid a finger aside of (his) nose and gave with a nod”? Is it possible he was doing lines of a certain white “substance”?
