Last-minute Christmas laffs

Barney Google and Snuffy Smith, 12/24/23

I guess real Snuffheads like you and me don't need reminding, but the point of the throwaway panels at the top of this strip is to emphasize that the Smifs live in grinding, generational poverty, which might explain why Snuffy gives a little joke as a gift to his old friend Barney Google. Without those throwaway panels? He just kinda looks like an asshole, not gonna lie.
