Pickles by Brian Crane for December 24, 2022

Poor Santa shot down on Christmas Eve. His busiest day.

Shot all the color out of the comic…

Mrs. Knopf must be a fan of Red Rider products like Ralph Parker is.

Spoilsport, Scroogette!

That’s the Privacy Clause. She shot Claus in the privates.

S-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-o long S-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-anta

If you could hear Earl’s voice, it would be high-pitched from the released helium.

Saved money on coloring to buy more gifts for Christmas.

There are few things worse than a Santa killer.

Like the peanut M&M says “Santa?”!

Santa is down and Christmas is cancelled!

She probably heard you say “OLD”

She shot his eyes out.

The Colorist took early Xmas break.

Have a Blessed and Merry Christmas everybody!

Helium? I would have cut the string!

Would a B-B gun be strong enough to pop an inflatable yard decoration?

Ping.. BB guns go “ping”? We learn something new almost everyday from GoComics.

That sure deflated quickly‼️☺️

Santa is president of The University of Michigan—Santa J. Ono.

Take it to the Knopf house and dump it. She shot it, she has to eat it.

I didn’t realize that floating Santa’s were in season. Do you need a license?

Careful with getting even, Earl. This is about much more than the holiday.

I’m with Mrs. Knopf. Tasteful Christmas decorations are beautiful. The key word being “tasteful.” Blow-up Santas, not so much.

Because there is no paper tomorrow, they published the comics a day early. Sunday’s Pickles is so funny I almost choked to death laughing! Enjoy all!

Isn’t that a crime of some sort? Assault with intent to deflate?

I know it’s just a BB gun, but isn’t still illegal to shoot at someone else property?

Gotta love it!

Reasons for being armed vary.

Red Ryder?

Merry Christmas to all who observe and happy holidays and best wish’s to those that observe something else! ;^)
