    Could be the load of coal he appears to be carrying in his pants…

    And thinking about the whole carbon footprint thing, why does Santa continue giving out lumps of coal?

    Hmmm…what is the carbon footprint of an online comic strip? Me thinks its a green industry.

    Hey ! Heyyy ! Marg this is a family strip(I think) so you just go back to yer low budget Flying Nun plastic bag hat thing and leave the serious carboning to the load carrying cartoon professionals.>;-)

    DigitalFrog: The reason is that the real saint Klaus was into helping others, and realized that children need accountability and families can use a little help, too: When a child had worked throughout the year to learn to act responsibly towards other children and their own family and the community, then they received a nice present; and if they needed some help to decide to sign up to be helpful to others, then the nice big lump of coal would be useful to keep their own family warm in the winter. Win-win.
