I'm so glad I can mute my TV.

And I to not have a TV connected to anything besides my gaming consoles.

Thanks to Musk now they just beam it into your head 🤯

But they're all in Afrikaans.

I haven't watched TV in years...

I Got You, Babe for Februrary.

Of course! That covers both holidays! Wish I'd thoughta that.

It really depends for me, who is doing the songs.

At Christmas, I love Mannheim Steamroller.

I hate Elvis and the Carpenters.

Where can you get Nesbitt's these days?

Dunno!

Who was drinking Liquid Paper?

I assume it was the bald man, because his costume is Michael Nesmith of the Monkees. Nesmith's mother invented Liquid Paper.

Isn't anyone gonna ask who the bunny is dressed as?

I was too busy being disappointed she was not naked

checked it out...I'll be damned!

Please elaborate.

Its something I had not expected. His mum seems to have been a go getter and a kind employer. The kind the world needs more of

Yeah--so the bunny is dressed as Mike Nesmith's mom!

YEP. Having lunch and huffing Liquid paper....

She's not huffing it, it's a PROP
jeez

It was a reference to Ferris bueller's day off

What scene?
Suppose I need to see the movie again.

There is a scene where the secretary(Edie McClurg) is stirring up the liquid paper and breathing it in deeply
Because of the "huffing" it can't be seen on YT

Ahh.
I definitely need to see it again.

Thanks for clarifying!

Ok. My favorite is MLK day...that speech still brings tears to my eyes.

Yeah, but imagine having to hear it over and over, everywhere you go, for days on end.

First couple of days would be okay...rest of the month? Mmmmmm nope. But...at least it is t that Mariah Carey song for Christmas...

GODS I hate that song...

Same here. With a passion bordering on psychotic. I HAVE destroyed radios at work because of that song.

Dude has a LOT of speeches... And there are a lot of songs about him or that include parts of his speeches.

That's true. Which means, if course, that the stores will play "Abraham, Martin & John" endlessly.

I could definitely live without that.

Holiday songs always have a distinct slant towards the LCD...

Liquid Crystal Display? Wha?

Pff.

Lowest common denominator.

Heh! I rather like this one.

We're not so far away from that I'm afraid. I guess that's the point.

Summer nudity :3

In Cleveland, radio station WMMS (100.7 FM) would play Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant" every Thanksgiving. I don't know if they still do, I haven't listened to them in years.

KALX in Berkeley still seems to play it every year.

Cute

Heh. I started writing about Martin Luther King day before I got to the last panel. It's also my birthday.

There's Black August (Not an official holiday, I know, but there should be at least one day commemorating that) All of the freedom and protest songs are valid then.

I've also heard Christmas music as early as October, and certainly well before Thanksgiving. (It's been creeping backwards for years)

I’ve had it up to HERE with every station blasting “Gratitude” by Oingo Boingo all November.

Now that I think about it, I know what the stores and restaurants would bludgeon us with during August: anti-holiday music. But not just any anti-holiday music; the sappiest anti-holiday song ever. I'm talking, of course, about Stevie Wonder's "I Just Called To Say I Love You".
