    And people keep accusing Cap’n Eddie of having a weak grasp on reality. He’s the only one that has been able to figure out what’s going on all around us. I’ve always had faith in him. Him, and a couple pitchers of Flo’s egg nog.

    Carabou are actually rather good swimmers in even Arctic waters. They have a double pelt, with hollow hair on the outer layer, which insulates, and provides bouyancy. There is no reason why the deer are not swimming back, unless they are on strike, for higher pay, and better benefits.

    The reindeer can’t fly unless they are attached to Santa’s sleigh – from the first strip in the series

    Maybe Danae will get wind of the problem, and get so mad she solves it. Just thinking outside the box, to the least likely person.

    Indeed, Wiley made it clear that the reindeer are Santa’s engines, and just like the engines on an airplane can’t fly by themselves, neither can the reindeer..Which reminds me: it’s Bad Old Christmas Joke Time: Those of you who’ve already heard the one about Santa’s Christmas Eve visit from the FAA inspector may skip what follows….So it’s Christmas Eve, and the FAA inspector arrives for Santa’s annual airworthiness check. He walks around the sleigh and reindeer with his clipboard, checks the sled’s landing gear, the reindeer’s APU exhaust ports, Rudolph’s nose light, and so forth. Then he climbs into the sleigh for the flight test. “What’s that for?” asks Santa, noticing that the inspector has a rifle in his lap..“Well,” says the inspector, “I’m not really supposed to tell you this… but you’re going to lose an engine on takeoff.”

    How about the Ekert? One allegedly fictitious character can aide another, can’t they? Or if the eight tiny reindeer all face Santa and simultaneously emit methane, they could jet themselves back PDQ.

    Mandatory political comment: whose fault is it that they don’t have a boat: the Democans or the Republicrats?

    “How about this to be contrarian—-no Capt. Eddie to the rescue, you heard it here first!”

    ++++

    Wasn’t I the first to posit someone else, namely Danae? (And, yes, in my mind, I was excluding Capt. Eddie.)

    In the first strip of this storyline, it said that the reindeer can only fly when hooked up to the sleigh, so they can’t fly over to Santa.

    Yes, but ACC is disbelieved by the GOP who seem to have ADD and won’t STFU. It’s a real PITA. Just my POV.

    Wiley, knowing that you dislike political meanderings, it cracks me up how often you have to remind commenters. (I’m sorry.) I am very much enjoying your poetry and this arc. Thank you!

    May you have a peaceful and welcomed holiday time.

    This storyline would work except for 2 inconvenient truths: 1. Santa’s reindeer fly. 2. Global Warming theory doesn’t.
