Dear Calvin,1. Elves don’t come cheap. They may work in China, but they commute from Scandinavia. On flying reindeer.2. Our environmental standards are the strictest in the world. It’s not we who are responsible for the cyclical but long-term decline in the Arctic ice field.3. We’re not taxed at all; we’re in (technically, above) international waters. But the weather’s only merit is that it’s better than in Antarctica.4. The only impression I’d like to leave on you, kid, is a kick in the behind by both of Prancer’s rear hooves.Mythically yours,Santa Claus
santa doesn’t work at the north pole, he works in china. using slave labor, he makes us ipads, designer clothes, and etc…what he can’t make inhouse, he sub-contracts out to other companies. that is how he makes the mercedes benz s class.
In light of his supposed environmental sensitivity, Calvin will receive several lumps of coal to use to keep himself warm. I mean, coal is “natural”, right?
Oh, Calvin. Do you REALLY want to put Santa on the defensive NOW . . . when it’s this close to Christmas?!?!? Because I don’t know when putting anyone on the defensive EVER got someone what they wanted!

On the plus side, elves are non-union; on the minus side, you can’t make iPads out of wood.

Some sharp stuff on here tonight! Loved Santa Claus, and as a former England resident, had to laugh at Number Six!

I think that just confirms what he already knows about you, Calvin. It certainly won’t help your cause.

The situation hasn’t changed a lot in the decades since this particular strip was first published — not much progress!

Calvin, just admit it’s a losing battle, go outside and throw a snowball at Susie. You know you want to.

Santa…the first out-sourcer. I think you’ll recognize the accent when you call him with a problem.

Gad, I miss Calvin and Hobbes. My alltime favorite comic.

That’s okay Calvin. I hear that Santa believes in sincere repentance, not the death bed kind. Why don’t you try that
