He does have something to hide under that hat!!!!

Eyaaah!!!! Burger KING, KING Kong, Michael Jackson!!!! KING of pop!!!

Why isn't this on my TV?

I never thought 1930 Nightmare Theatre was going to go the route of accurate historical storytelling. I like it, now I have something to read to my kid today.

... out of those three kings I'd take my chances with Kong :\

That story always sounded sketchy to me. Virgin Mary? Yeah... right...

Maybe in the future if I ever have to pay child support, I can just say the baby isn't mine, and that it was another miracle with a pregnant virgin...

This is the first Kimbo strip based on religion to actually make me laugh. Not that I disagree with your opinions on it, I just think they tend to come off as a little too mean spirited.

This one, however, comes off pretty well, especially with the three "kings."

At first, though, I thought Vespula and Santa were wearing space helmets in that last panel. And that Kimbo was trying to put the hat ON TOP OF the helmet. Then I realized they were just halos, which is still pretty funny, given the circumstances.

The Burger King brought Santa a Whopper value meal.

I seriously love those three wise men.

What did Micheal Jackson bring, a bottle of viagra?

Another great comic, made me laugh a lot. Keep up the fantastic job!

The insight of Burger King, King Kong and Michael Jackson as secretly Osama, the Federal Reserve and the Pope is nigh-on transcendent.

I demand more libertarian propaganda in 1930 Nightmare Theater!!

Great comic! Your strips about religion and all of its malarkey are my favorites. Keep 'em coming.

Lolz

Santa was one freaky baby with a full-grown beard an all... and I KNEW the reindeer thing was a lie!

Yes, my favorite christmas story ever!
And I want Santa's shoes. No more riding my bike to school!
Michael's typical 'hee's as evil laughter? lol
But I feel bad for Bimbeaux in the last panel. All his innosence, gone forever, the word sh*t etched in his brain...

So that's why Santa never puts off his hat, to hide the ears of sin! :-)

You're going straight to Hell for this one, but it was worth it because it made me laugh—Oh, shit! Does that mean I'm going to Hell too?? Um... You Godless Satanic Heretic! Damn you to the Fires of Hades!! Mea Culpa Mea Culpa Mea Culpa!!!

Brilliant! Forgive me for being rude :(

Si, debo aceptar que la Navidad es en gran parte solo consumismo estupido dictaminado por una global gigantesca mercadotecnia, ¿¡¿pero que hariamos sin el misticismo, la alegria y la convivencia de Nochebuena?!? MOM

Another great comic, quite clever. Keep up the supertastic job!

(This should be a Xmas card or a made for TV holiday special!)

no blood??

Sweet. I hope we'll see the follow-up where Santa is crucified, then rises up and conquers the Martians.

Love what we can glimpse under Pope Jackson's robes, there--almost as much as I love the White-Out being applied to the Constitution.

There's sometimes a "V1" and "V2" of these strips, where a short version goes up first. From the comments I notice some readers may not be catching the long version. Deadline racing? Change of heart/mind? Just curious.

I love the three wise men - stellar detail! Very special indeed.

Is that poo???!!!!

This is so brilliant!! :D No wonder that Zimbo had so many toys in "Kimbo & The Toy Boys!" If Santa is Kimbo's son, he HAS to do everything he says, like materially compensating every child in the world so that Kimbo can be alone with Vespula, or eating his meat before eating his pudding! Zimbo's comment in the epicly hilarious last panel might cost him a few toys, though...

That line makes me laugh every time I hear it for some reason.

I didn't mean to sound ultra-conservative in Comment #24 when I said "he HAS to!" I just meant to say that since Kimbo is Santa's dad, he can "hook him up" with some neat stuff! :D He still has to eat his meat before his pudding... Otherwise, how can he have any?

I am utterly disgusted at this. Do not poke fun at other people's religions, it is not cool.

...but was this one published in two pieces? I mean, when I yesterday checked this one, I found only three first panels... ...came back next morning and found the rest of the story. You did it again: two stories in price of one. Now I have to check my daily dumms twice a day!

The panel five is beautiful.

It isn't just you.

I am utterly in love with this. Poke fun at other people's religions, it is cool.

Thanks Everybody! Have a Merry Christmas, and don't buy anything! I recommend a home cooked meal, Secret Santa or Gift exchange. The corporations already made their layoffs and planned their store closings, now they are just trying to milk you dry before they skip town. FUCK 'EM!

i agree, brilliant

Let's get Zimbo a Wii! :D I have a question: Do you think that Santa should start issuing prizes for being good in the form of "Marlboro Miles" or "C-Notes?" That way, all of the children will start smoking for their material goodies; however, their underage smoking will get them on Santa's bad list, thus slimming his "Good List" down very much and giving him time to spend with Good Old Dad (Kimbo)! :D I should totally be an evil schemer! Is there a market for that these days? I need to buy some Wii Points...

I'm sending this out as my Christmas card this year. :P

Brilliant work as always!

wow, niiice touch with the white out on founding documents under the Fed. I love it.

I am speechless. Ricky, you are too funny. Fantastic!

holy shite!
