Seeing it’s Roy, and he’s a techno-geek, shouldn’t he know that the glide slope indicator lights aren’t a flat pattern? He’s setting Santa up to crash.
By lucky chance I had prepared a week of Christmas reruns for this week.
Why lucky? Well, I didn’t have any new Christmas one from John. I was saving his next batch for January. I was straining to think of any myself, and didn’t have a lot… and I was no longer five weeks ahead as I had been over the summer…
And then my computer crashed. Sudden black screen of death. No amount of restarts, or holding down any combination of keys, was bringing it back. Sure, I had my laptop- but that didn’t have all my files yet, nor Photoshop. I couldn’t produce any new strips.
The short version of what happened next is that I had to buy a new desktop. So the next new WD we see here will be done on that. It’s bigger, and it has the latest version of Photoshop installed. It’s very different from the one I bought in 2012. Lots of learning to do, but so far Ive been able to work on my latest PRINCE VALIANT page- so it does work when I learn all the new ropes.
You were pushing it using a computer 9 years old. I wind up replacing mine every 4-6 years. Replaced the last one because the e and a keys stopped working. How can you write anything when missing two vowels? Considered replacing the keyboard bit was above my head and buried too deep in the hardware system.
Miraculously, after I bought a now affordable solid state laptop, I was trying to get some info from my old lap top and the a and e keys were working fine. Sigh! I do like my faster laptop though.

Maybe it’s so he can tell Rey about it.

But what if the reindeer are color blind? Or Santa is?

Don’t forget to take the screen out of the chimney, Roy.

Coordinated or inspired with today’s Dustin? Or, great minds think alike?

Not bad. Not bad at all. Ho Ho Ho. You’re never too old for Santa……

The truth is Santa has Google Maps installed in his sleigh and doesn’t need the landing marks.
