Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 24, 2013

Did anyone order a set of lawn darts for Rat?

And Santa’s got quite the caboose!

Eh… Aussie Santa, try six white boomer kangaroos.

I LIKE Aussie Santa. I’ll leave a can of Fosters and a barbie full of shrimp out for him tonight.

Christmas in Oz according to Hugh Jackman (often suppressed & NSFW!!, but funny as heck):http://youtu.be/IPRZ7bj5czU

Merry Saturnalia & a Happy Winter Solstice!

And how many read A. Santa’s dialogue with an Aussie accent?

Why is Pig pointing at Australian Santa’s junk?

at least santa is not throwing bomb, .

Hilarious

Never planning on visiting Australia are we Stephen?

How did Aussie Santa wind up in Albany, Califonia?

On 2nd Thought—how does ANYBODY wind up in Albany, California?!?

Pick one and enjoy.

Is this the reverse psychology way of breaking into the Australian newspaper market? They’ll take it as good-natured kidding, right? It couldn’t possibly boomerang.

I don’t see Aussie Santa’s toy sack anywhere. I hope he didn’t pull that train out of his……..briefs.

AHHH!!! I’M BLIND!

Aussie Santa! Twice as fresh as the Northern variety, sassy, youthful, and eminently practical! Is this what a summer Santa should be, or not?

Aussie Santa’s way may not be safe, but I imagine it’s a lot of fun—unless you’re the one he’s hitting with the stuff.

Pretty funny, albeit a tad stupid – being as I am Australian and living in Sydney. As a lifetime reader of Get Fuzzy and a Pearls reader for a mere year or so, I think it’s pretty brilliant most of the time. I liked the oreos and polar bear theme even thought a bit sad. I also read Rose is Rose, because it is uncomplicated and life is complicated enough. Merry Christmas Pearls readers.

Has he been hitting the Vegemite a bit hard?

We always left Santa a beer and ham sandwich. Mom said he gets tired of cookies. The beer and sandwich was always gone in the morning.

I spent the Christmas holidays (seven days) of 1987 in Perth Australia courtesy of the United States Navy. I was the guest at the home of the Senior Perth Police liaison Officer to the USS Carl Vinson’s Shore Patrol. It was a great experience and fun time. Probably better than the Pearls guys are having with that Aussie Santa.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Thank you for the elaboration. However, Japan doesn’t have prawns, only ebi. So, I used ebi.

Australian Christmas, the first ever (I think) Christmas event in TF2.
