Deck Us All With Boston Charlie fans: Next Saturday night, from 9 PM to midnight Chicago time, WFMT will air the Midnight Special – and the Saturday before Christmas, Rich Warren almost always plays a private recording of the WFMT staff singing Boston Charlie..For the reader a couple weeks back who asked, “What’s a WFMT?”: It’s Chicago’s classical music radio station, but not on Saturday nights when Rich Warren takes over..If you have a computer or a smart phone, stream it! If you live close enough to Chicago, pick it up live!
When I first saw Slim last week, I was worried that we were about to go back to Slim’s problem with the dog – oh, and Giacomo, too!.Yes, Gkid, you gotta love Slim!
I thought you were a curmudgeon, so I looked it up… YEP that’s you.An ill-tempered person full of resentment and stubborn notions. [Origin unknown.] cur·mudg eon·ly adj. cur·mudg eon·ry n. curmudgeon [kɜːˈmʌdʒən]. n.
Old Timer: For what it’s worth, I happen to think SUSAN NEWMAN is right on today!.The only time Slim let me down was when he dumped Lucky the cat, an old time Gasoline Alley character, for Dog-Zilla! But I think that was Jim’s fault because he intends to turn the regular story arcs into a mutation of Marmaduke!.As for Slim’s relatives, I agree with Susan again! Absolutely all of them are insufferable – not just his daughter, but his wife, Clovia, as well!.Someone said it last summer (during the Old Comics Retirement Home) – this strip is best when it’s trying to be something else..And right now, I happen to enjoy the fact that Slim is going to be a substitute Santa!
I fear that the good boys and girls at 15 Maple Street will get the toys meant for the boys and girls at 51 Main Street and the toys meant for 51 Main Street will end up at 10 Route 23 box 5…Ho Ho Ho will be oh no, oh no, oh no!

Even for a comic strip, this is wonderful fantasy! Look out good little boys and girls, Santa Skinner is on his way.
