I’m sorry.

This is sooooo fake—I can totally see the ventriloquist’s lips moving!

Speaking of ventriloquist horror, this episode of Tales from the Crypt has been knocking around my dusty old brain for thirty years… whoever cast Don Rickles and Bobcat in the same show should be given a friggin’ medal. Definitely in the top ten episodes of Tales. (Cutting Cards is my all-time fave and has been since I was a wee lad!)

It’s been a while since Diabro and Lamar showed up in a gag! Here the not-so-lovable duo demonstrate their hellish interpretation of the rules… haha, glassic Cruelgo!

Gruelgo has pupils here, deal with it.

Looks like The Great Headini just became The Late Deadini!

My favorite thing about this one is that Diabro just seems like he’s down for anything… “Hey, Gruelgo’s running! I’ll run, too!” Expect to see another one of these Christmas-related strips by the end of the week. Operative word being “expect.” Who knows if I’ll actually get around to it! (I’ve written like a dozen of ’em, so….)
