Frazz by Jef Mallett for December 18, 2022

So it’s boxer day. And those are called quotation marks – a quote is what’s in between them.

Don’t give them the present, just tell them you’re giving one. That way, they may give you a present worth more than what you’re giving.

Giving to get? Not quite in the Spirit of Christmas.

Sounds like pretty much the opposite of Uncle Chip’s strategy … or at least a strategy that has the opposite result.

Kid is slick. He’s “priming the pump,” to quote someone sometime, somewhere.

Boxing Day is a good name. We just completed delivering the Christmas “baskets” to the needy folks in the village; but we use boxes.

Last panel annotation: boxing (pugilism) is also known as “The Sweet Science.”

I got you a gift so you better get me one. Hmmm, a gift with expectation is not a gift. That’s an exchange.
