Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for February 12, 2023

For that kind of money I hope those pants fit.

I’m guessing the 17th annual Las Vegas Great Santa Run in 2020 was cancelled?

Can’t you get pants just like that at Abercrombie and Fitch for around 100 bucks?

Well, if one of those Vegas runners is actually Santos Claus, I would be worried about him coming down my chimney and taking all the presents.

Well, that fragrant old person should go dress as Santa in Las Vegas, because what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!

At least I made it to “old” to have a smell.

What about all the dressed up Elvises in Vegas? Do they do a run to? Maybe they run away with your money!

“Old person smell” is only a “real thing” when that person is wearing the same shipwreck-pants since 1857 without interruption…(but than, I swear, the eyeless would wish to be noseless and you’ll see not only Santas running!)

It’s the smell of grim death. Thanks Ripley for reminding us all of our impending doom.

Maybe ’cause we old people like garlic with our beans.

yeah…just don’t pull an old person finger……

Did the pants even fit?

The bit about the eyeless horse reminds me of an old joke:

“My dog has no nose.”

“How does he smell?”

“Like an old person!”

(Okay, I admit it: I decided to work in one of the other bits)

The Santa suit sales shops cash in every year and then vacation in Atlantic City.

Take care, may sweet-smelling old guy Mel “Here In Nebraska We Make Perfume Outa The Corn And Slather It All Over Us Then We Sell The Squeezins To Folks Way Down South Where They Sip It And Hunt Flying Tin Cans With Shotguns While Hollerin’ Yee-Haw” Huskord be with you, and gesundheit.

There are three kinds of people who care a lot about their exact age.

Small children, 39 year olds and 99 year olds.

Think those pants were finally soft enough to wear?

Imaging the line up if a Santa robbed a liquor store…

$114,000. Truly, someone wanted to live in history, by wearing it. What dry cleaner was willing to do the job?

Hope those pants look “distressed“ enough.

Those pants were a pair of the original Levi Blues Jeans from the gold rush days.

There’s a lot of young people l know that don’t smell like roses either…

I used to leave RBION for last to read, because I enjoyed reading the funnies that accompanied the strip. (I was grown up enough to bypass the ones that I found not so funny). Now, the moderators have made it so that i, too will be deleting this comic from my list of comics to read. It has become more of a headache than I want to deal with.

You have to wonder, if Santos Claus caught a pass in football, which way he would run, and would you ever see the ball again!

As an “old person”, I find this strip insulting.
