    Wikileaks revealed that “Santa Is A Lie” perpetrated by adults to deceive little kids into feeling happy and forcing them to behave and do their bidding.

    Wikileaks also revealed that “Tax Cuts Are A Lie” perpetrated by governments to deceive the populace into feeling happy and forcing them to behave and do their bidding.

    Probably means the whole outsourcing-to-China-and-using-unsafe-materials-in-toys thing.

    Not quite, Etnier. Today’s cartoon was done a few weeks ago.

    WikiLeaks showed the lack of any structures at the North Pole … Confirms the fact that Santa is Chinese, all the toys are labeled “Made in China”!

    Santa Claus as we know it was concieved by Marketers in the 30’s right? Before that he was a creepy elf or sinister being that did mean things to people!

    I think their whole WL organization right on down to the mail boy should get a heap of coal.

    and, of course, the New Yorker publishes their articles on the day they are conceived…

    The New Yorker publishes on a much shorter deadline than comic strips. For some reason, we still have to send in our material ready for publication several weeks in advance. Nothing else in the newspaper is done on such a long timeline.

    Wiley, I put this under “like minds thinking alike” with you and the New Yorker article.

    And Potrzebie, the Santa story has been around before the 30s (that would be Rudolph). Thomas Nast did the most famous drawing of Santa, and that was in 1863.

    Portzebie is most likely referring to the Coca Cola ads, featuring Santa, which started in 1931.

    Perhaps Santa should be drinking “Santa’s Little Helper Imperial Stout.”

    Hey, Santa with a beer? I thought the song went “Wiskey for my Elves and Beer for my Reindeer!” Or is that the New Years Party?…..

    Santa is really Satan. Red suit, black feet, the hat that can cover up horns, people bargain with him to grant their wishes, he keeps track of the bad souls, he has supernatural henchmen…

    Also, Potrzebie, the original, living inspiration for Santa Claus/St. Nicholas was a bishop, Nicholaos of Myra in Anatolia (modern Turkey), who died in 343, just a few years after Emperor Constantine. Nicholaos was known for his ascetic life, and for helping the poor, especially three girls who were too poor to have a dowry to get married, saving them from prostitution. Hardly “a creepy elf or sinister being that did mean things to people!”

    @Coyoty, not so sure about your thesis.

    But have you heard of the dyslexic fellow who sold his soul to Santa?

    They exposed the fact that Mrs. Clause has taken control of the whole operation because of Santa’s drinking problem….sad really…I remember him in his younger days, fit and jolly.
