Merry Christmas

Squash the Dog is spooning black powder into a paper tube. "How much gunpowder goes into a christmas cracker?"   SeƱor Banana is sucking on a candy cane while replacing bulbs in an old string of christmas lights, which is plugged in.  Bok Choi is pouring scotch into a saucepan over an open flame, while humming "tum tum figgy pudding"  -- in the last frame all three are black frizzy lumps waving happily, "Have a safe Christmas!"

Green Dog Cafe Solstice 2019

Krampus and the Solstice Goat are catching up over a cup of coffee. Goat: So Krampus did you collect a lot of bad children?  Krampus: No, just politicians.  Goat: Bet you could use some cheering up. Want to come on rounds with me?  Krampus: that sounds like fun!   Meanwhile at the Green Dog Cafe our heros eagerly look out the window into the night. BokChoi: There! There's the Solstice Goat!  Earl: The goat isn't alone.  Last panel: Goat and Krampus handing out presents to the terrified staff of the Green Dog Cafe. Krampus: Don't worry. I'm off duty.

Happy Thanksgiving

Sr. Banana: (wearing a wreath of autumn leaves, he hands an invitation card to Bok Choi): You're invited to my Mabon party.  It's a pagan thanksgiving. We'll do a sacrifice!  BokChoi: That's illegal!  Sr. Banana: We're sacrificing 500 chocolate croissants  (later, all lying comatose on the floor in front of the crackling hearth fire, tummies full) BokChoi: This should be illegal.
