How to Make a Bad Present Seem Better than It Is
Funny story. I was looking for all of my Christmas-themed comics, and I could not find any evidence that this comic ever ran on the site. It was in a book, and several of my subscribers remember seeing it, but it just doesn't seem to have appeared on the site ... UNTIL NOW!
Thanks as always for using my Amazon Affiliate links (US, UK, Canada).

I had definitively not seen it before and had a big chuckle.
It takes very little imagination to pretend he's a mutant, mostly because Scott morphed into a weird, 2 headed monster between panels 3 and 4.
This comic was on the 2012 calendar, but I don't recall seeing it anywhere else.
Strange, I *know* I've seen this one before, and not in a calendar :/
Okay, so by now I'm used to the copyright dates still saying 2012. But 2009? Really, Scott? REALLY?!?
Another comedy gold. Panel 2 and 3 have great dialogues
The copyright date...it's...it's just...and I thought 2012 was going to be crazy. This is just madness.
A snow glob is actually a great present. Much better than any old pedestrian snow globe/
I know you said that the copyright date wouldn't be right for a few weeks, but... wow...
exercycle - LMFAO
(The Exercycle is the original exercise bike used by tens of thousands of Americans since 1932, for what its worth)
Thank goodness I found this webcomic again! I'm not sure how it happened, but I use to read this webcomic all the time then I some how fell out of it. Thankfully I've returned to it again and can spend that next few hours catching up on all the content that I've missed.
What is an exercycle in panel 3?
Definitely haven't seen it before, and I just did a complete archive binge a few weeks ago. Hilarious -and- good as new!
...unlike the Snow Glob.
Re: Copyright date.
Do people really comment without reading the text below the comic?
(Also, if it appeared in a book in 2009, then the 2009 copyright date is accurate.)
I'm sure there's a market for Snow Globs. You should look into it.
You had me at "Snow Glob"
It appears in the "Curse of the Masking Tape Mummy" book. And thank you for the exposition, because I was having a real existential crisis over it. There are a bunch of comics in that book that I didn't recall ever seeing before, and I was starting to think I was losing my mind. Confirmation that this one never appeared on the site is gratefully received, for sure.
Hey Scott, I think the copyright date on this comic is wrong.
Also, I haven't seen this one, I'm pretty sure.
I saw it on my day-by-day 2012 calendar! A full year of daily LOL's!
I used to know a couple of girls who would "customise" their Barbies..."Date Rape Barbie"..."Junkie Barbie"...now I understand there's a market for that kind of customization
Ah HA! This comic has been RE-GIFTED from 2009! ;D
