MythTickle by Justin Thompson for January 12, 2024

I love it! Oh, and she has to do it, it’s in the Santa Clause…….

hope they don’t get Claus-claustrophobia. You know, the fear of being stuck in a small space with Santa Claus.

Santa could have made a spoonerism, referring to Jessica as a rain gear dame.

At least you’re getting to play!

Punny!

Wait… but vis a vis Jessica, is he tired of rain gear dames?

For far too long Mrs. Claus has been without a first name. I am proud to see Mythtickle right this wrong and help make her a complete person, on her own.

Keep him on his toes, Jessica!

Always remind men when you move their stuff.

Good one, great setup!

El Jefe and Pastis have been hanging out again?

Jessica sounds like a pretty independent Claus.

No takers for the “Rudolf the Red knows rain, dear” chestnut?

Is this the first MT strip to feature Santa without poetry?

A Milpitas couple was being shown around Moscow one day, by their communist guide, Rudolf, when the man felt a drop hit his nose.

“I think it’s raining,” he said to his wife.

“No, that felt more like snow to me,” she replied.

“No, I’m sure it was just rain,” he said.

Well, as these things go, they were about to have a major argument about whether it was raining or snowing.

“Let’s not fight about it!” the man said. “Let’s ask our guide, Rudolf, whether it’s officially raining or snowing.”

As their tour guide approached, the man said, “Tell us, Comrade Rudolf, is it officially raining or snowing?“

“It’s raining, of course,” he replied officiously.

But the woman insisted, “I know that it felt like snow!”

The man quietly replied, “Rudolph, the Red, knows rain, dear!“

Okay, Jessica? See what you’ve done now?! Santa (who looks like he should be selling salt or fish sticks) is now making puns, just like some other cartoon characters! This should not become canonical Sant Claus shtick….

PASTIS!!! GET OUT OF THERE
