Xmas 2019: "Santa's New Coal"


I struggled (about as much as one possibly can over a cartoon) with whether or not to add in some nuggets. Not for the least of reasons that it would easily tip the gag into an much more easily understood holiday offering. But going on the theory that sometimes forcing the consumer to assemble all the requisite pieces of the puzzle themselves makes for a much more satisfying experience when they actually have to invest a little effort. And what a reward eh? Also another rule of comedy is to never underestimate the intelligence of the audience. Besides what more of a bigger hint is there than a bigass moose butt? But here's both anyways... fodder for mulling over the theory of humor.

Either way, dear faithful reader, be safe, stay warm + well...


*Update: After a protracted period of reflection, I made the command decision to edit in a handful of nuggets. One of the most sublime insights ever this profession is the realization one has actually devoted time + energy on trying to decide what is the exact number of moose turds is not enough, too much, or just the right amount. There are times when I just love this job.
