lol walking into a land mine.

Hehe, I know someone who gave me the same damn speech. Only with more swears.

My reaction was pretty much the same. Just stood there, staring.

"Jack, where did you buy that coffee?"
OR
*Punch* "That's for reminding me of Valentine's Day!"

I'm with Jack on this one.

My mind never got twisted...I think.

I didn't know there were people who are "vertically challened"

That was uncharacteristic of him.

From what we've seen I mean.

Though I'm not complaining.

"Just the way Santa wanted"... those kinds of signs make my heart a little chillier.

I'm beginning to like this Jack character more and more.

Please refer to "There's no such thing as Santa Claus" =]

I basically pulled this speech on a mall supervisor upon hearing christmas music on the first of november. Pure. Win. They don't play christmas music anymore

Nice Character Twist.

Woo, I would never have expected that from that character. But I'm loving it :P. And I love that this comic has gone regular, it was always one of my favourites from the Sunday Funnies :D.

I'm pretty sure the joke is in the fact that the character is being out of character, however it's hard to tell because I don't think this character has ever gotten this much screen time before.

Never would have expected it from Jack, three additional kudos points :)

Yeah, he's supposed to be the surprise. Props for the rad jacket.

Although I'm not that surprised that he turned out to be against the materlistic aspect of current American culture, I was not expecting him to go on a rant about how holidays should remain pure and center around the goodness of the human condition.

Interested to see if you take this anywhere.

If I was there, I'd be staring like an idiot too.

I hate Christmas, but thanks for making it a little better.

Does the art in this remind anyone else of Fanboys?

There arnt, there are shortasses though. On topic I would also like to coin the phrase "horasontally unchallenged".

I had a Carmageddon flashback on panel 3.

I was getting more of a Ctrl-Alt-Del vibe from it, myself, just without the bitterly sarcastic comment at the end. Besides, if this strip wanted to be like Fanboys, it's have to update only three times a year.

OT: I think I missed something because I don't get it.

I am Jack's fury with festive holidays.

Yeah, I was talking exclusively about the art itself, not the writing.

Ah. Disregard the above comment, then.

same as already forced 2 xmas trees to be returned to the shops under the threat of them going out my window into the river these last few weeks. Fact shops overlook 2 holidays to get stuff in for xmas peeves me off as bonfire night almost dead because of these shenanigans.
