@thewoodman1: Really? A tribute to the original writer of a (at least semi) beloved comic strip, and you call it dumb? I found it very touching, especially coming from a comic strip that parodies it constantly. smh
Wondered when he’d get around to the Keane tribute. He’s surpassed my wildest dreams. Merry Christmas, Stephan. And Pig! And Rat! And Larry! And Goat! And Zebra! And even you, Alfonse!

Merry Christmas Everybody.
If any Magi had been trying to follow that constellation, the Christmas story would have been a lot longer…
PS — Johnny, I’m sure you know Radish was making a punne.

What a beautiful tribute! When Steph wants to, he can get as sentimental as the rest of us poor slobs. Thanks, PBS.
