And now, for our first strip of the new year, we take a behind the scenes look at the ugly side of humor… Yes, for every laugh there’s a Tragedy to someone else – for every Snigger, a moment of Embarrassment… and for every shattered Tree Angel, a pissed off packet of plastic pieces!
Also, for those of you who might complain that neither Bunz nor Katz is in this strip, here’s a full figure shot from last time…
Million dollar idea Bob. Christmas tree “Stars”. Little plastic tree-angel-like statues of Hollywood stars of today and yesteryear. “Put a STAR on your tree!”
Nah, their greedy agents (or progeny) would no doubt suck up all the profits.
Little Jimmy Dickens used to tell a joke about pictures of stars on the mantelpiece…said for twenty dollars, he’d come and sit on the mantelpiece himself.
Ooouch… to think I’ve been subjecting the old family Xmas tree angel to this demeaning ordeal for the past 60 years… I am consumed with guilt an’ remorse…
Thought there had to be something more to Rudolf’s relationship with Santa. After all, the message of the song and the special were, “People aren’t your friends until they want something from you.”

You could put a star up on top of the tree—but would a star sit still for it for the whole season when he or she could be out being a celebrity?

Let’s run it up the flagpole and see who salutes!

Yeah, and you notice in the song how “all of the other reindeer” started sucking up to Rudy after his (her?) big break…
Not the only sick message in a Christmas song. Take “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.”
Oh common. Everybody but the “kid” watching knows mom is kissing dad in a Santa suit. Now “Oh come all ye faithful.” on the other hand…
Or…it’s the kind of situation that involves a man and a woman and another man. And not the kind of situation that two of them would enjoy.
