idk what it is about me that I adore everything he's done in comic form, but find the animated/live action stuff an instant turnoff, even though I can see it's the same sense of humour? I'm sure i'm alone in this..

You are not alone in this, it feels a lot more heavy handed for one thing.

Think this would be a lot funnier if it was 5-10 seconds long, like an animated Vine or something

"Puppet Porno" was pretty funny but the cartoons are excruciating

Yeah, these definitely feel like a step down, wish he'd return to cartooning, since he was so good at it. You could almost imagine the "Mr. Faeber" as a mid-quality PBF cartoon, but the length of the cartoon does it no favours, the joke should be over once the kid is eaten.

"Dr. Edgar O. Wye," eh? Well at least he's doing the Gorey tribute to the full.

Little death? I'm guessing the other meaning won't be mentioned?

I'm still not sure I get it. Santa is an elf in disguise?
― Hark! The Village People (fake penthouse letters mcgee), Wednesday, 17 December 2014 16:59 (nine years ago) link
Santa is secretly impregnating all the elf mamas I guess? Not very good, anyway.

would be funnier if it was one of the reindeer calves with santa's face amirite!!!!!

That one elf's dad is santa hence the red face. Yeah its a bit rubbish.

I didn't realize the elves in the first panel were supposed to be child and not adult labourers.

loooool
Why is the elf giving the reindeer a wink?Is the second panel trying to convey the reindeer turning around?Why is there a reindeer in this at all?
― poxy fülvous (abanana), Thursday, 18 December 2014 05:26 (nine years ago) link
The wink resembles Santa - further evidence.Yes, in a moment of realization.Santa needs someone to do the "keep this on the down low" to.

I love Mr Gurewich but its amazing how many of his strips need explaining/cause confusion/make no sense.
― I checked Snoops , and it is for real (Trayce), Thursday, 18 December 2014 23:40 (nine years ago) link
I dunno, this is pretty untypical for him. Normally he nails the gag perfectly.
I blame the reindeer.
― jmm, Thursday, 18 December 2014 23:52 (nine years ago) link
It's as if he just wanted to paint a pretty picture of a reindeer
― Drop soap, not bombs (Ste), Friday, 19 December 2014 00:21 (nine years ago) link
what's in the picture framed by candy canes? is it a clue?
― Philip Nunez, Friday, 19 December 2014 01:13 (nine years ago) link
It's a stale joke, but makes perfect sense. The pregnant elves in the last panel are an unnecessary "nudge, nudge, geddit?," imo.
― nickn, Friday, 19 December 2014 04:16 (nine years ago) link
this one, a few back, is an all-timer imo

Now that I look back, he can get confusing at times, like the Edward Gorey and R. Crumb tributes.
― jmm, Friday, 19 December 2014 05:17 (nine years ago) link
I think there's more to this joke, like maybe Santa replaced a regular elf with his child and the elf is in the bag, hence the conspiratorial wink.
― Philip Nunez, Friday, 19 December 2014 08:06 (nine years ago) link
Or that Santa is running a Fritzl operation up there in the secluded North Pole.
― Øystein, Friday, 19 December 2014 09:45 (nine years ago) link
I think there's more to it too, first thought was it's like in the cartoons where say huey due and luey stand on each other's shoulders and wear a big coat to look like a bigger duck. Hence the redness around the elf's jawline from where he wears a false beard. But I've got nothing from there.
