193- A light in the dark
So.. ok, this one most of you will probably not get. It’s based on a cultural thing here in scandinavia where we celabrate Saint Lucy. More info can be found here
Anyway, since that day is today,I thought this might at least be appropriate, if not funny.
The phrase “Holy nutcrackers!” will always be funny.
that kinda looks like the reef worn by the ghost of Christmas present.
That’s all?
Dress up and sing songs?
Man, GG must be fataly sick during christmas time…
And here I’d thought she’d been zapped by a Jewish leprechaun.
I got it! I used to do the crown and the white gown and all of that!
Kind of irrelevant (I meant to ask on he previous comic), but what kind of lasers does Lazer Pony fire from [behind] his eyes? Is it heat vision (like Superman’s) or concussive optic blasts (like Cyclops’s)?
I kind of think concussive laser vision is better because it’s like a laser punching you in the face… well, it’s not necessarily better… but less bad than getting burned to ashes.
I wonder what would happen she throws her halo in that state. Would the candles fall off and burn someone?

I would almost say Both.
This chick has more personalities than Sybil!
@Shamdon: the term is wreath, for future reference. I imagine Google could have led you to the answers prior to posting, if you weren’t sure.
@apstorm: I’m suspecting autocorrect fail more than language fail. Not noticing that autocorrect has made a mistake is not a crime against literacy, like you imply. Besides, this comment function doesn’t allow one to edit or delete one’s posts, so even if he noticed the error, he’d be unable to do anything about it once he hit [Post Comment]. In this framework, typos and malapropisms are bound to occur, so maybe you should cut folks a little slack?
@apstorm: I’m suspecting autocorrect fail rather than language or literacy fail. This comment function doesn’t allow one to edit or delete one’s posts, so errors are bound to occur, and be uncorrectable once posted. With that in mind, you might want to be just a smidgen more charitable?
apologies for the double post, there was some update delay and I believed the first one hadn’t gone through.
I will admit that I only got the reference due to it being featured in the Dennis Leary movie “The Ref”.
I got it! Though I couldn’t remember the saint’s name, I recognized the reference and got a good chuckle. Yay for my Scandanavian Lutheran grandparents.
I like GG.
Oh, I absolutely got that joke, but had not known until now that superredundant came from Scandinavia (I immediately guessed that from the Lucia reference, though).
Conversation from my childhood:
My Amma: Now it’s the 13th, so we light all the candles and bake fresh cookies.
Me: Okay, why?
Amma: … it’s traditional.
My understanding is that this is not an unusual conversation in a Swedish-American home. Typically once a plate of linzer cookies are on the table, the children stop asking “why”.
Come and know me better man.
With reference to the word reef instead of wreath …..
When I first read it, I pictured GG with a coral halo including anemones and clown-fish o-0
Now I actually want to see that….. maybe for when she visits atlanta for the holidays?
Lucia is, as almost all scandinavian holidays, a pre-christian thing. This one somehow being related to the winter solstice and midwinter. It most likely involved copious amounts of booze and human sacrifice
Well, American Catholics still use Advent wreaths…
Oh wow
