Frazz by Jef Mallett for January 20, 2019

The neighbors will probably shoot off fireworks after New Year’s Eve until spring comes or the lights and carols end. It’s an interesting way of keeping the property taxes down.

That explains why she drinks so much coffee. She can’t sleep at nights!

The pyrotechnically imposing neighbor’s intentions are also malevolent.

Welcome to motivator number one.

A shout-out to the syndicate in panel 1.

I would never complain about Christmas lights during Winter. But I wouldn’t appreciate the carols

“Repay no one evil for evil. Have[a] regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.”

Romans 12:17-19

On the twenty-sixth day of Christmas my neighbor gave to me…

In Denver the lights stay up until the National Stock Show is over

I thought this comic was Michigan based. We have laws that prevent that activity here, strictly limited to a few days, and, as every liberal knows, laws prevent people from doing things!

Putting up lights and speakers takes lots of effort. Don’t want to waste that on just a few weeks.

For Mrs. Olsen, subtlety is not always her first choice, as it is when she deals with Caulfield.

Has Mrs. Olsen ever smiled before? Fourth panel, there it is. It’s a post-xmas miracle.

Talk about a Shout Out. Go Comics is owned by Andrews McMeel.

I wish my neighbors would wait until July 4th for the fireworks. Usually it’s every holiday and every Fri and Sat starting Memorial Day

The sweetest revenge is often the pettiest.
