Then you’re in trouble Zoe

Why is it black and white??

Santa knows Hammie knows jujutsu so also knows to watch out.

You’re knocking it before trying it, little lady.;-P

Hammie is acting just too weird even for him.

Zoe is going crazy trying to figure out what Hammie is up to!

I hope Hammie sticks with this for the next 15 years, or so.

That little smile (or is it a smirk) in the last panel kind of gives the game away Hammie.

I think Zoe has something there.

Come on, kid… Santa didn’t get to where he is today by being gullible!

Oh wow, this must be a first in that a story arc is being carried on for more than a week. Well, Hamish is still bugging Zoe with his non-engagement. The question is, who will lose it first.

Yep, Mom and Dad, er, um, I mean “Santa” watches all year round, but right now Zoe, they are happy for the peace, quiet and lack of trouble they are getting out of Hammie.

He watches ‘you’ too Zoe.

Seems to me that there were a few toons, right before the Great Server Crash of ’22, that first went to B&W only and then stopped updating daily.

Whatever works.

Think this will last til puberty? Take any odds anyone?

Well, he can get inner peace, acquire jiujitsu skills, and get right with Santa, all at the same time.

Are we sure it’s about Santa and not jujutsu?

Hammie’s doing it to annoy Zo.

It’s in color at ArcaMax.

Hammie, this is a great idea!

Ham is being good is probably making Zoe even more nuts than his usual bugging her.

Haha! XD Is he gonna kick Santa’s behind if he doesn’t get what he wants?

Wait a minute, Zoe. I distinctly remember you telling him good behavior between January and mid-November didn’t count.
