Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Festivus! I hope you enjoy this year's round of cartoons! Image description under each drawing.
When Santa’s team diversified and hired Gimpy, Gimpy’s neurogenic bladder caused some serious Christmas Eve delays…
Image: Three reindeer lined up beside each other with one saying, “Dude’s been trying to pee for 45 minutes. We’re supposed to be in China now!” A speech bubble from a voice out of view says, “Can someone turn on the water?”
The adapted matching family pajamas were a lot less adorable when the price became clear…
Image: Three sets of pjs with a Christmas tree top and striped pants and the heading,“‘Regular’ Matching Christmas PJs: $50” beside three sets of pjs with a reindeer face top and plain pants. The second heading says, “Adapted matching Christmas PJs: $150”

The “Doctor A Day” Advent Calendar Was Markedly Less Charming Than the “Chocolate A Day” VersionImage: A calendar with 24 spaces is filled in with various doctor specialties including gynecologist, urologist, gastroenterologist, spine specialist, orthopedic, podiatrist, orthotist, dentist, opthamologist, neurologist, and psychologist. Also mentioned are blood tests, internist (flummoxed by your many issues), a urodynamics test, “urologist again,” “Botox for spazzy arm” “gastro again,” and “wheelchair clinic after 6 month wait.” A wheelchair user asks, “Where’s the candy?”

Image: Two ambulatory figures in elf outfits sit on a mantle beside an elf in a wheelchair. Various speech bubbles are shown drifting from “The Land of Unsolicited Opinions” such as “Cinnamon yoga!” “Cinnamon works wonders! And it’s natural!” “I sell cinnamon smoothies!” and “My cousin is a cinnamon spiritual healer!” The wheelchair user muses aloud: “Does Stacey seriously think my devastating, lifelong joint pain can be solved with cinnamon?”
*In Elf on the Shelf lore, cinnamon is considered like vitamins for elves
