Bloom County 2019 by Berkeley Breathed for December 16, 2019

No. Tequila warmer.

I find myself wondering: Who drew Opus in the lottery, and what herring-based gift did he request?

It better have wi-fi.

We had them for $15 but they’re already sold out. Merry Christmas. Come back later. Next!

You’re giving me that ’something’s missing from the holidays’ look; ya THINK?

I bet you can find one on eBay at a very good price.

Those can be really good things. You don’t go bankrupt giving everyone in the house a gift. My ex-wife’s family tried it. You bought a gift, with a certain dollar limit, and you could also buy gifts for your spouse/spouse equivalent. But every year she made me buy a gift for her father even if he was not my assigned recipient. Doing this made me resent the whole process, but otherwise everyone liked it. The first gift I got him when he was not my assigned recipient was the Monty Python “Contractual Obligation” album. My ex got the message.

“Still crazy after all these years” . . . hum a few bars – it’ll set you straight for the day.

Hey, it beats white elephant gift exchanges

Opus is right.

Milo, take your spreadsheet and stuff it (you know where)!

Go get him, Opus the Penguin Assassin!
