Perfect.

[jough]

I would've thought Philippe would have focused more on, you know, that birthday guy.  Je-somethingorother.

[andalucia]

Although I am very fond of Philippe having drink-mixing skills.

[Edit:  I reread it, and I take back my comment, after seeing that it's a *vodka* martini.  Pshh.]

[jough]

I too prefer vodka martinis to gin martinis, although I will drink a nice Bombay Sapphire martini every once in awhile, for variety.

And don't get me started about asking for a "Gibson" in most bars.  Egad, around here they don't even know what a Rob Roy is.

Don't bartenders have to have degrees in "Mixology" anymore?

I expected Santa Ray to show up by the end of the strip, or possibly Santa Lyle. God only knows they'd appreciate the martini and nachos.

[Carlos del Vaca]

Please.  Santa drinks manhattans.

Same here, actually. Although it'll never, ever happen, I would just love to read the implicit backstory to this strip - and find out who, exactly, put this idea into poor little Philippe's head. I mean, on the one hand, you've got milk and cookies - pastoral, innocent, even the savage little unscrubbed hellions down the road that fill the idle afternoons setting each others' homes on fire know about this combo - and then on the other, vodka and nachos. Which reminds me of a personal anecdote involving impulsive behaviour, a tattoo parlor, and the HIV virus, but never mind; I shan't stray off topic.

I point the finger at Ray (Lyle's liquor tends to the brown) and an unattended stack of Beavis and Butt-Head DVDs.

Judging by the food items I can only assume that this was Ray's doing. He might not actually play Santa but I'm sure these items were his thoughts.

[Choop]

Yeah, Lyle would have told Philippe to leave Santa a bottle of Beam's Choice, no food.

snapping a q-tip off in someones ear, eh? now there's one I havent tried yet. mebbe black peter will finally bring me that coal I have always wanted if I do...

See, when I read this strip, I thought, "Oh, that's totally Lie Bot."

See, when I read this strip, I thought, "Oh, that's totally Lie Bot."

I think Ray probably instigated the nachos-and-booze idea, but Lie Bot was definitely involved in the equation somewhere -- I'd say at the general germ of the idea that Santa is somehow atoning for something bad he did previously. It's just not quite a Philippey idea, but it's exactly what Lie Bot would tell Philippe about that jolly old elf.
