Laura: Boy, this tree looks pretty small.
Adam: Small trees need homes, too. Hasn't Charlie Brown taught you anything?
Laura: And it's so listless.
Adam: I could...
Laura: You're not giving that poor tree coffee.
^So they will have an annual tradition of her complaining about not getting a fake tree (which is an abomination in my opinion, especially in households with children), then her not participating in the choice of live trees, then her complaining about the tree that Adam purchases.
What I hear hildigunnur saying is that unless she gets her way, complaining will always be a part of their Christmas tradition. Happy holidays indeed.
BTW, I think Doc’s Nuclear Coffee will either save the tree or kill it!

DocT’s Nuclear Coffee would do the trick!!

Adams coffee she made for him is probably just as listless.

I second Doc’s Coffee!

well, somebodyshort, she’s been rooting for a fake tree so I think Adam maybe should have made a tiny bit more of an effort ;)

Hey coffee always perks me up, maybe it’ll help the tree.
This time I agree with the guys. She didn’t go help pick out the tree so she shouldn’t criticize.

we kept a ficus tree alive and well, at the office, with cold coffee leftovers. Doc’s Nuclear Coffiee would have been perfect for mondays.

Doesn’t look like coffee could hurt it much more.

She will at least be pleased when she hears the price. (Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was free.)

If the coffee doesn’t work, they could get TOBY (in today’s Angry Eyebrows) to pick another tree.

let’s agree never to speak of Adam theme-weeks again. I’ve had them airbrushed from my memory.

At least Adam is thinking of solutions, all you’re doing is stating flaws.

He needs to call in Lucy, Linus, and the rest of the Peanuts gang to come wave their hands at it. They had an amazing ability there.
dante.deangelo almost 15 years ago
If Adam starts going back to those awful theme weeks, he’ll have one less regular reader.

There’s no way they’ll bring back those theme weeks. They were the creative low point of this comic.

Bassett did a “them week ” at Red and Rover last week with Red writing letters to Santa, but they were all pretty funny !
