Helen? Odd name for a guy.
A Boy Named Helen. Don’t think Shel Silverstein would have liked it.
I didn’t see Helen lurking almost off panel at first either.
I wonder what’s in that pipe… He has that sleepy eyed look.
What state is he in? Delirium, denial, Wisconsin?
Santa couldn’t be a Christian, since he’s the father of Jesus!!
Look it up!!
And regardless of what you find, I’ll resolutely ignore it unless it agrees with whatever I just said.
