B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for December 19, 2022

Now that is very thoughtful. Can’t believe it never became a tradition.

So which came first in the B.C. universe? Did Santa invent fire?

And there’s a third one for Harry Potter fans to use to travel.

I think there was one year when Biden had to substitute for Santa one Christmas, too.

good planning – an excellence of engineering

Now he needs to invent the chimney sweep – chim chimeny chim chim cheroo!

Santa does not appreciate burnt buns… or cookies.

I hope you labeled them so that he comes down the right chimney…

I’m reminded of an xmas episode of Doctor Who with matt smith explaining his entrance. “It was christmas eve, I saw a chimney and thought ‘what the hell’”

Looks like they gave Santa the shaft; not to mention, exposure to the flue.

The next invention should be marshmallows

Oh, gawd, now I have to research how chimbleys (as my baby sister used to say) came to be. . .these look fairly well designed and all for the times. . .

So Santa is older than fire, or at least as old? But the important part is he predates chimneys! I had not heard about this form of archeological dating.

how considerate!

Looks to me like he put more effort into the Santa Claus Fireplace. Boy knows what side his toast is buttered on.

Is it magical and opens wider when he comes down with a bound? ☺️

Snooty neighborhood, two fireplace cave. And he just invented keeping up with the jones. Yip yip yip yip yip

Any comments on this strip being anachronistic would probably fall on deaf ears.

Don’t wanna burn his butt no mo’.

No fun.

The chimney structure has found its way till this age. A rare architectural monument.

Dang! Cavemen who lived “BC” (BCE for you atheists) knew about Claus???
