Season’s greetings to all the Christians, the ex-Christians, and the Christian-adjacent—plain ol’ regular greetings to everyone else!
So our hope was to have the latest strip done by Christmas Eve (today!), and that did not happen. Clearly! And it’s not our wish to leave folks without anything at all on this, the day before tomorrow, so I decided instead to briefly resurrect a hallowed Chronillogical tradition.
(I wonder if TUBACHRISTMAS organizers would consider incorporating any contemporary film scores into their caroling repertoire this year.)
All right, I’ve got presents to wrap, superstars. So you all have a Hoppin’ TUBACHRISTMAS, a Boppin’ BASSCLARINETHANUKKAH (belated), and a Zippy BANJOSATURNALIA!
What? How could you possibly neglect NOSEFLUTEEASTER?
It doesen’t quite have the ring and brassy warmth of TUBACHRISTMAS, but still…
It’s too early for NOSEFLUTEEASTER, but just in time for VALVETROMBONENEWYEAR and FRENCHHORNWINTERSOLSTICE.
