Close to Home by John McPherson for January 09, 2024

everyone wondered who wood win…

I sprained my elbow doing that last year.

Charlie Brown’s skinny Christmas tree would be perfect for this—fewer remaining needles to create drag.

Bleeb went for a ride.

Well, I guess that is a good a use as any, after Christmas is over and done with.

You know you’re too far North when you find more snowmobiles in the tavern parking lot than cars.

I thought they only did the Christmas tree toss at Frost Bite Falls Minnesota.

I hope there’s a herd of goats to clean up the mess.

The Great Christmas Tree Caber.

Love it !

Could definitely see this happening in Minnesota.

The contestant who tosses their tree the fir-thest is the winner.

Whew! … it took me a few minutes to find Bleeb! He wasn’t where I thought he’d be.

Okay… I live a great deal further south of Minnesota, so we close out Christmas with a bit of a different annual contest… a Christmas tree ornament skeet-shoot.

coming to ESPN Ocho this winter

wait, so this city is not real?

Back in the cave dwelling day just imagine how effective it’ll be against mammoths

Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle.

Is this really a thing in Minnesota?

Minnesotans have all the fun. The New Years Eve hat flip is cool too!)

I thunk that’s ridiculous!

Fir trees are best because they go FIR-ther. ugh.

Jeez! That guy’s got quite the arm!!…(the Vikings might wanna check him out!)

Needle-less to say it was a lot of flung!

The winner was a real sap.

(lotsa mike drops in the comments today!! Lol!!)

Great cartoon art John, and very clever too… and funny – OK…
