Thatababy by Paul Trap for December 20, 2023

Oh, yeah, “yay”.

[Verse 4]Now the ground is whiteGo it while you’re youngTake the girls tonightAnd sing this sleighing songJust get a bobtailed bayTwo forty as his speedHitch him to an open sleighAnd crack, you’ll take the lead

What’s shown/written in the comic is the last half of the fourth verse. It begins with: “Now the ground is white … Go it while you’re young … Take the girls tonight … and sing this sleighing song” … and then continues where Thatababy is shown singing in today’s comic.

what does 240 for his speed mean though? Can’t be 240 mph !

I think the song was written well before motorized engines became popular

QI revealed several years ago that Jingle Bells was written as an homage to the Thanksgiving Holiday, NOT Christmas. And now it’s a tradition, but for the wrong holiday.

Horse kicks snow up high

Hits us in the chest

Bet we are the coldest Swede’s

in the whole darn Middle West

I was familiar with this stanza/verse, it’s the third one I need to brush up on.

Jingle bells … Batman smells … Robin laid an egg …

The Batmobile lost a wheel … the Joker got away. HEY!
