How swiftly it all went south

maybe try an amazon delivery job

Just as well – they all look ready to spit in those toys.

Even Santa can’t afford that.

Isn’t she like ancient now?

Now the elves can go listen to their Partridge Family records.

This comic on the week the Taylor Swift bandwagon rolls into my town…

Put the elves to work making Taylor Swift dolls that play her songs. Their jobs are saved, retail Christmas is saved, and Taylor Swift gets royalties every time the dolls play a song. Everybody* wins (*except for the parents who have to pay for everything, of course).

She’s in Vancouver this weekend. And unfortunately, I have a memorial to attend there and I’m really hoping I can avoid the traffic.

Dang! Santa laid them off! Now they’re gonna start drinking and doing Simpson’s episodes!

time for Santa to put them on the shelf

Taylor who?

And they stopped making toys for little boys some time ago. Don’t ask.

Her lyrics are great, but her music is a little too repetitive for my taste.

A sad state of affairs, for sure.

Now we have to deal with Taylor Swift in the comics. It’s not enough having to watch her on Chiefs games?

When Harry Chapin was asked why his songs were so long and thus couldn’t be played on regular radio stations, he said that he didn’t want 13 year old girls deciding if he was a good musician or not. Seems about right!

Elves have left the building.

could always get a job sitting on someone’s shelf for the season!

Sounds like a snow job to me.

I need the hackers to generate concerts and passes in Taylor’s ticket server.

Wave bye-bye to the nice elves, Bleeb! They’ll be back when this fad is all over. Swiftly, I hope! :)

Bleeb looks absolutely frigid.

They could make toys for big girls.

She’s got a ticket to ride, and she don’t care…

Those are the big girls. Little girls still want toys… like Taylor Swift dolls. Barbie can take a break.

Taylor who???

They can travel to Rivendell and train to be warriors. Kick some Orck butt.

Ill bet that is one on a lot of wish lists round the world.

More time to make another PlayStation series
