“GIVE JASON LOTS OF PRESENTS!” Kids sure are greedy this time of year, aren’t they?

This time of year? Try cashiering and watching the spoiled tots throw tantrums in the impulse aisle all year.

They have 24 trees? Or is that different angles of the same one?

Neither. That’s blinking lights in an extremely long pattern.

I’m always confused when I see references to kids ordering things with their parents’ credit cards. I never would have ben allowed to do that. If I had done it w/o permission, I would have had no Xmas presents for a decade, among other punishments.

Sister and I growing up would never considered order our own gifts. Back then no computers. Lucky to get what I received.

Huh. Amend botched the tech on this one … rare, since he is usually spot on with the technical details. Jason would have only needed three (3) Cosmic Colour Ribbons, saving beaucoup des bucks AND using but a single plug and not the octopus of circuit breaking doom we see here.

Dang. Joke spoiled by a lack of familiarity with the current state of Christmas light standards. Shame, Bill. Shame.

What comic is Andy holding in her hand?

And once again Jason’s plan backfires.

What’s up with the thick lines? Is this a new look?

MY EYES!
