   Here in the U.S. they have twine for tying the tree on with.

   What’s with the mustachioed pedo who shows up to hold Michael in the last panel?

   That’s probably the uncle referenced in previous strips. He’s also in other panels wearing a yellow hat.

   It’s Uncle Phil, the trumpet player who has come to stay over for Christmas. Elly’s single brother who will date Connie.

   We’ve become so worried about pedophiles that an Uncle can’t even lift up his nephew to reach the the top of the tree? A little common sense is always a good thing.

    What’s with the pathetic overly protective woman who doesn’t read strips from days past? As mentioned that’s “Uncle Phil”. Get with the times.

    As a retailer I find so many things wrong with this scene I won’t even start.
    .
    And while there are problems out there the biggest problem is the media trying to fill air time and column inches.

    Any one who’d automaticly assume Uncle Phil is a pedo in that setting has a perverted mind of their own.

    I think I see Farley in the back car window.
    Boy, did you notice Liz sitting with Mom in the front seat? Must be an old drawing. No child seat protection then? Maybe the tree is just in the way. Either way, you’d get a ticket now-a-days.

    May I ask you the question. Are you allergic to pine seriously? If so, how can you take care of the fake tree in a box? I had it in a plastic box but those fake tree things got very dirty that made my hands dirty! Use a soap detergent to wash those parts cleanly? :-/ :-)

    Relax, I knew it was his uncle, I just couldn’t get over the ‘stache and turtleneck combo.
