Okay, so… if you don’t get the joke itself, are the “squirrels” in the first panel really going to help?

And I’ve been wondering… does that first panel always run with this comic, or is it a throwaway panel like we see on a lot of Sunday strips?

Presumably he means the paper towel dispenser doesn’t work and neither does the blower; but what exactly is he expecting the paper towel dispenser to do?

Honestly, I’m not sure whether Mr. Melcher first posted this after Labor Day — if that’s relevant to the joke.

scrooge

So… that would mean “embracing Christmas but the wrong reason”?

By the way, retail stores do have to start thinking about Christmas this early: Stuart’s not talking about setting up Santa-and-reindeer displays.
