La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for January 06, 2024

Isn’t this about 2 weeks too late? Or is it a day early for Orthodox Christmas?

Jan. 6 is Epiphany – when the three wise men show up.

And being from Iran, home of the magi, they will be denied entry.

People show the wise men at the manger, but it would appear that they actually came months later, at an undisclosed location only referred to as “the house.”

What is Frankincense and Myrrh? Wouldn’t blankets been more useful?

Mexican immigration laws are way more restrictive than the US. The strip is funny when they are not making a political statement.

At least they’re not trying to enter Gaza, where the IDF seems to have a policy of shoot first; identify later (if at all).

I guess they are bringing gifts of cocaine, crystal meth, and fentanyl. No wonder Jesus developed messianic delusions.

’Never could figure why folks would follow a carpenter in a land with few trees.

Even if it was possible for Jesus to return, it’s quite apparent Republicans wouldn’t recognize him and likely crucify him themselves if they could. It really bothers them that he never asked for money. Gave generously and helped those that were less fortunate then himself. Always preached kindness to others, even strangers. Did I mention he never asked anyone to tithe to him as today’s churches that claim to teach what he taught do?
