B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for December 24, 2023

Peace on earth, good will toward men.

They look dressed for Canadian winter.

“I heard the bells on Christmas day

Their old familiar carols play;

In music sweet the tones repeat,

“There’s peace on earth, good will to men.”

I thought how, as the day had come,

The belfries of all Christendom

Had rolled along th’ unbroken song

Of peace on earth, good will to men.

And in despair I bowed my head:

“There is no peace on earth,” I said,

“For hate is strong, and mocks the song

Of peace on earth, good will to men.”

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:

“God is not dead, nor does He sleep,

For Christ is here; His Spirit near

Brings peace on earth, good will to men.”

When men repent and turn from sin

The Prince of Peace then enters in,

And grace imparts within their hearts

His peace on earth, good will to men.

O souls amid earth’s busy strife,

The Word of God is light and life;

Oh, hear His voice, make Him your choice,

Hail peace on earth, good will to men.

Then happy, singing on your way,

Your world will change from night to day;

Your heart will feel the message real,

Of peace on earth, good will to men."

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

Henry W. Longfellow, 1864alt. and v. 5-7 by Harlan D. Sorrell

“Once I was lost, but now I am found.”

“Let’s all stand her and stare at that bright star that keeps getting brighter.”

“Uh-oh. I think that’s a giant meteor coming towards us.”

B.C. going to ends eh.

That’ll do, comic. That’ll do.

Merry Christmas to all. Watch out for low flying caribou.

aw yeah.

Follow the Star.

I wonder who might be the guy with the blue bobble hat. If the one with the red one is B.C. …

Merry Christmas to everyone❣️

Merry Christmas everyone!

Meteor coming our way again, look out kids.

O star of wonder, star of night

Star with royal beauty bright

The little yellow tag on the lower right of the last panel. I don’t only wish, I pray.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all of y’all and it sure would be nice to have PEACE ON EARTH.

Thank you, Mastroianno and Hart!!

He followed the light!

[singing]

I was lost, but Jesus found me, // Found the sheep that went astray, // Threw His loving arms around me, // Drew me back into His way. //

RefrainYes, I’ll sing the wondrous story // Of the Christ Who died for me, // Sing it with the saints in glory, // Gathered by the crystal sea. //

— from: I Will Sing the Wondrous Storyby Francis H. Rowley, 1886; alt. by Ira D. Sankey, 1887
