Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for December 13, 2023

Rudolph scores again!

That nose has more uses than just guiding a Sleigh.

Come on Rudolf don’t be rude – Shine brighter!

I’ve been to restaurants so dimly lit that the menu is hard to read!!!

Let Rudolf order for everyone.

Be like one of my nieces and always order a cheeseburger.

The rest have Macular Deergeneration!

I didn’t get this comic. Why only one has the light?

Thank Goodness (and the manufacturers) for cellphone flashlights.

It also helps to bring your reading glasses.

At least it’s not a QR code.

Rudolf could read the menu to the others.

This comic is de-light-ful!

I hate dimly lit restaurants – especially as a lot of them use poor contrasting text on coloured paper, making it even harder to read. I have fairly good eyesight for my age, but contrast is not one of them. If I forget to take glasses I have to guess what it says or get someone to read it to me

Rudolph with your nose so bright, stand on the table and give us a light!

Just order the venison.

should have allowed Rudolph to play in their games …

An advantage the other reindeers laughed at…

Rudolf with your nose so bright,

Won’t you order our dinner tonight.

Rudolph is getting them back for them not letting him play in the reindeer games.

’Tis better to light one nose than to curse the darkness.

Dim some?

Rudolph the infrared Nosed Reindeer!

Rudolph the Read-Nosed Reindeer.

So I read this first in our newspaper…in B&W…and didn’t understand it at all. As soon as I logged on here and saw the color version, I got it!

Rudolf with your nose so bright won’t you read us the menu tonight. [Chorus]

It doesn’t matter. All they get is dried tundra on toast. :)
