Frazz by Jef Mallett for December 01, 2011

I totally agree with the kid on this one. That guy in red is way creeeepy! .He sees you when you’re sleepingHe knows when you’re awakeHe knows if you’ve been good or bad …He’s a creepy child stalker!!

Hey, just bring the guy a half pint of Canadian Mist and you’ll get along fine…

Heart from “Heart of the City” should concentrate on this girl instead.

And if they take you anyway, DCFS will be knocking on their door.

And he’s just gonna tell you that you’ll put your eye out, kid.

My daugher loves the IDEA of Santa, but is terrified of him in person. Big, red, can’t read his face; how DO we come up with these scarey-happy icons anyway? Same thing goes for clowns.

Fear of clowns = CoulrophobiaFear of Santa = Santaphobia

And I didn’t even have to look that one up.

My kid never asks to see the Mall Santa. I wonder if this girl is thinking of Pennywise?

@Trapper…..Why, of Coors! On the other hand……Yeeks!!

Mall Santa Clauses as zombies? Wasn’t that a Doctor Who Christmas special one year?

I was afraid of Santa as a kid. It makes sense that kids would be afraid of Santa Claus and clowns. Both wear odd outfits, both have hidden or obscured faces, both act differently than normal adults, and kids are supposed to spend more time with than than normally with strangers.

My mother could never get me or my brother to go see Santa… not that strange for me, as I was a fearful child, but my brother never met a stranger….
