Frazz by Jef Mallett for December 22, 2011

And let’s not forget that Santa Clause is really a rip of off the Saint Nicholas legend of Europe…whose birthday is celebrated with gifts on december 5th.

That Santa Claus was a Coca-Cola creation is an urban legend. Thomas Nast’s depiction of Santa, as referenced in this strip, predated any Coke commercials by a number of years. See this entry on snopes.com: http://www.snopes.com/holidays/christmas/santa/cocacola.asp

But you sure need a big shovel when following those elephants!!!

I’d like to see Frazz’s senior picture……

My senior picture was classic greaser. By the time I was in school as a senior, I had a Beatle cut. Which should date me pretty close; so yeah, my avatar is almost the other kind of senior picture.

Nast would have a field day with both parties now, but I’ve gotta say the elephant is perfect for the GOP.It’s all about power, and size, but has a small brain that’s very hard to locate, a HJGE appetite, and as Kiba65 says, you need an immense shovel to remove the fecal piles they generate.But then again, that’s probably a job for somebody.

Way off topic and not concerning politics but animals; elephants are much smarter than donkeys as evidenced by the self-aware mirror test. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_test

Republicans do like to believe in myths, don’t they!

But, speaking of politics, all my life I looked forward to voting. Now I can legally vote in four years (in five is the election I will be able to vote in). …And now I am trying to decide between downright detrimental and worse than that. Truly an enjoyable experience! Please forgive my cynical attitude.

Thanks, TrapperJohn. I was hoping someone would find a link to that.
