Close to Home by John McPherson for November 24, 2023

show her the bill to get her back to her senses (hmm or maybe let her depart this world altogether).

Sounds like someone tried to use AI to write a new one.

That doctor is thinking of ordering enough tests and treatments to make his wallet jingle all the way through the holiday season.

This strip reminds me of Straight No Chaser’s Christmas Can Can. Funny stuff.

Probably a little to much Egg Nog, the kind with real Rum in it.

Take her outside and let her get run over by a reindeer.

Well, she got run over by a reindeer. She does not hear what what I hear. All she hears are silver bells ring-a-ling-ing. And mixed-up Christmas carols is all she’ll sing.

“Oh what fun it is to ride, in a rusty Chevrolet!”

Sorry… that’s the only one I can remember.

I hope that you had a pleasant Thanksgiving, Bleeb.

Boughs of reindeer – that would be the leg right? I could go for a bough of reindeer.

Could be worse.

She could be barking “Jingle Bells” like a pack of six or seven street dogs. Off-key.

The worse variant of them all……”All I want for Christmas is YOUUUU!!!!”

Christmas music over and over in the stores. That poor woman must be a clerk in one of them.

My favorite radio station started playing ALL Christmas music a week or two ago. They’ll play only Christmas music through Christmas day.

♫ Deck us all with Boston Charlie. ♫

Is her name Carol?

Ha! Take two turtle doves and call me in the morning.

Fa la la la la la rum pa pum pum!

and they call her Christmas Carol, not a Christmas song she couldn’t sing.. Oak Ridge Boys

Looks like Bleeb is planning on doing his own examination.

Bleeb you should get away from the exhaust port.

Sounds like Lowell on the TV series"Wings".

Merry Medley

Or – best case medley.
