Close to Home by John McPherson for December 22, 2021

better than a drone i guess

I don’t admire it. I’m disturbed by it.

I’m wondering just how Jolly they’re going to feel when their balloon hits the pointed rooftop?

I think they’re a gas…

either that or they’re just full of hot air.

I’m really missing Bleeb. It’s a main reason I follow this strip. I understand that John’s running older pre-Bleeb material while he’s on vacation but aren’t we all ready for some new stuff? The first strip with the return of Bleeb should be in celebration of the little guy!

They’ve gone to great heights to present high rise dwellers seasonal enjoyment….

I will never understand the allure of ballooning. Same danger as everything else, but soooooo slow.

I’m concerned about the needle on the bldg close to balloon. any closer and there’ll be “Fa la la la la la AHHHHHH!!!!”

I think I’ve seen this one before.

With all we’ve been through with this pandemic and being traumatized by the Third Reich of the Trump regime, it’s good to have some holiday cheer!

Forget balloons! I think I’d rather see carolers para-sailing downtown… amongst the high-rise buildings with all the spires, and cell towers with all the antennas, and all the construction cranes…

… in a thunderstorm!

Now THAT’s entertainment!

One way, or another, they’re gonna get you their gonna get you, get you, get you ….

Aw, this is just a fly-by-night group.

That tower in the background looks like it is about to fly into space.

I miss Bleeb. I guess he went home for Christmas.

where has the little guy beed?
