Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for December 21, 2021

“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Singularity” just doesn’t work with Johnny Marks’ tune.

True story.

And of course Amelia and Spud are arguing in the background.

Nice catch, Elf boy!

Santa is a Time Lord!?!

Rose is on Wallace’s level, just not in his time zone. She’s much brighter than Rudolph.

I see the young Bickersons are at it again, in panel 1.

Santa is a Time Lord.

I have always theorized that he uses a polar orbit (up and down longitudinal lines rather than across like latitudinal lines). That allows him to stay with the terminator between light and dark, increasing time for night flying. It also allows for lighter loads, as he can resupply each time he loops back over the North Pole.

Bet it’s not on Netflix.

His Sleigh is a TARDIS with a working camouflage chip.

Spud wants to go back inside and Amelia wants to toss the pumpkin off the roof.

You got it right. Past, present and future are all one in the same for Jolly ole St Nick. That’s his secret indeed. However, that power was lent to him by God so that Santa could do all his good works in one night…..

I remember thinking about this as a kid myself and came to similar conclusions. With the size of today’s population, some level of time travel or at least time manipulation so to artificially lengthen the night really is the only way he could ever deliver all those presents in one night.

Either that, or he outsources additional “Santas” so to help deliver the presents in a sort of group effort.

Love the colors, Santa’s sleigh, and now I see how Rose fits into the group; she’s a sci-fi nerd.

Lot of Dr. Who fans here.

So the sled is really a Tardis?

And the seagull is there to play the straight man.

He slows down time. Didn’t you ever notice how long that night before Christmas is?

Simultaneous beaming or teleporting of tons of molecularly bonded toys all over the world.

The seagull seems intrigued but also skeptical.
