Oops! If he came down the chimney like the REAL Santa, there wouldn’t be a problem.
I think this is one of Jim’s best drawn strips. The shadowing on Slim in the first panel, the silhoutte effect in the middle panel, and the way he’s got Slim’s leg over the window sill in the last.
Excellent job, Jim!!
For axe-grinder, more like Chandrasekhar (not the Nobel physicist, but the cricketer with polio-affected wrist) curves–meaning curves he absolutely cannot control.
Alarm sound? I thought that was the sound of belching! I imagined Slim was about to meet his future self in a strange twist on “It’s a Wonderful Life” or “A Christmas Carol”…

It’s like a horror movie! Jim is sure throwing curve balls…

It’s okay Santa, they probably had motion detectors as well, so going through the chimney is out now too.

Too funny! Poor Slim just can’t stay out of trouble. So that’s how you spell the sound that the alarm makes.
