I know that people want to make gender specific bathrooms. Seems like a waste of space to have two. But there is always those people who are not safe to be out in normal society without them being tempted to to some sort of crime.
So… bathroom separate for Santa makes me wonder if this is why some people don’t like to take their kids to visit Santa!
Merry Christmas, Wiley! I’ve been reading your strips since I was a kid and have loved every strip you put out! I love how uncompromising you are and how you have not lost your sense of humor! Thank you!
Many years ago a house in my town made a Christmas display. It was a outhouse had the half moon cut in the door. They left about a three foot gap at the bottom of the door and ground. So you could see the black boots and the bottom of the red pants with white trim. Had a sign right next to it that said “Santa’s first stop”.
For those who may have missed my Christmas greeting yesterday – Merry Christmas to all the GoComics community. My gift is a link to Judy Garland, singing the original 1944 lyrics to Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. With many parallels with 2020, it has become a theme for this year’s Christmas, as we all “muddle through somehow”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NQsuIHMm3w
Santa only has time for express stops given his busy schedule. Meanwhile the reindeer are refueling on chocolate and caffeine for the next leg of the trip.
My office at work was temporarily moved into a computer facility that only had “men’s rooms” - back in the days when no one ever thought that women would be working with computers (and no one cared about the secretaries). It was disgusting-how supposedly adult men, who wore suits and ties and ironed shirts to work, could leave that room (and the seats and the urinal walls). It took the union stepping in to get one of the two restrooms designated “women only.” To paraphrase Grant in Jurassic Park, ‘I never looked at businessmen the same way again’.
Santa is not a name. It’s a title, derived from saint. (I.E. Saint Nicholas). He likely has a first name, maybe ‘Bob.’
As any good religious emperor would do, he would strive for a successor to keep his name and memory alive. Claus! (Which means ‘Victory of the People.’ (Hmmm, is the Claus family socialist? By their work, I might assume so.)
Consequently, we have Mrs. Claus, to produce heirs (who upon appropriate age, go into the family business). When they are young they are elves, then upon death or disability, the eldest elf takes over.
That’s why we don’t use the Claus family’s first names – to preserve the illusion. Sure, ONE Santa died in 1864, but one of the sons took over.
I imagine that at each transition they must petition the Pope for canonization.
Santa gets his own pit stop? Cool! Merry Christmas and the best for all who celebrate their faith this time of year. Here’s to a better next year, this one wore me out. Peace everyone!

A separate bathroom for Santa because nobody else is kinky enough to use a string of tinsel instead of toilet paper.

In the spirt of Christmas Giving, I’d like to wish a nice stomach bug for our great president.
May he spend the day on the toilet, with his head in a waste basket.
You know, they’re right. It does feel good to give to others.
Now, everyone else…Enjoy the Day!
