Santa Stupidhead

Just four more days….

Give that girl a computer so she can live in her world.

Nope, she pronounced it right.

If it’s near Christmas, why is JJ dressed like it’s summer??

Are they in the Southern Hemisphere??

did this strip originally run in december or is she hopelessly out of step? they had snow when BD looked at waldon.

No, no I think she’s got it right.

The doorbell chime was probably Zeke’s idea… wait for it…

No, she pronounced it correctly.

Careful, even Santa Stupid Head can put a lump of coal in your stocking.

The sound announcing Uncle Stupidhead’s arrival is weirdly appropriate.

Any guesses what he has in the bag? (I don’t remember.)

Alex does have reason to feel resentful. Her mother is a flake. Zeke is, indeed, a stupidhead. But, in this case, they are both trying to give Alex a happy Christmas and she is coming across as an ungrateful brat.

I remember one September where the stores in Hawaii had their Christmas wares on the shelves in September, so seeing this strip in October seems a little late.

It’s “Santa The Shopifter”,closely followed by red flashing lights that aren’t from the nose of a reindeer.

Hey, Zeke made an effort. …is sense ..disappointment in the air.

Alex would rather be coding.

It just occurred to me: JJ is now a grandmother. Does that make Uncle Stupidhead “Grunkle Stupidhead?”

She’s close enough…

Insult added to injury.

No, she got it right Zeke

What’s in the bag?

Reminds me of my former neighbors from years ago. The mom got up and left after 27 years of marriage and couldn’t understand why her two teenage kids hated her for it.

Why is a soap opera cartoon from 1997 even relevant in today’s political arena. This needs to be in the classic section only.

Even Doonesbury is allowed to be just a comic strip from time to time anytime.

Well… it is an improvement from “Mister Scumbag.”

I shudder to see what Uncle Stupidhead thought would be a good present to a little girl who totally hates him.

Where are they where they can be dressed like that?

In this group Alex is always the smartest one in the room.

Nope…she got it right.
