Close to Home by John McPherson for December 10, 2021

Rudolph the red comb rooster?

Like in the 70s when my dad’s fleet car went from an Impala to a Citation.

Around the world in…oh, like…40 nights?

What kind of chicken outfit is this?

Santa, you’re in danger of getting egged!

HENce, Santa couldn’t make it in time this year…

Why did those chickens cross the road? and the next road? and the next? …

He’ll spread the bird flu!

Must be “supply chain” issues.

Hope the magic dust works on Chickens too. They fly about as well as Reindeer.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOThis all so clucking wrong!

Bawk bawk bawk baaaaaaawwwwk!

I agree….but the culinary aspect of this has tremendous potential

Awww, cute little chickens! I love chicken… they taste just like penguin!

(HA! Reversed it! So that counts as six!) シ

Maybe but at least you’ll finally be able to properly cross the road…

Foof! Everybody knows that chickens can’t fly!

Can they fly around the world in one night? That’s all that counts……

Just be glad it didn’t say pigs. They’d never get that baby off the ground!!!

We’ll all have eggnog for Christmas.

Guess they were out of turkeys.

Suck it up Santa everyone has problems around Christmas.

Probably would work. You’d just need a longer string of chickens — and McPherson doesn’t limit our imagination in his art work.

Oh wait, chickens can’t fly?

Oh wait again, reindeer can’t fly?

I’m just so gosh-darn confused right now!

think it’s supposed to be ‘ducks in a row’

Santa’s feeling the hurt from Amazon.
