Yesterday was the beginning of Advent; it was also a solid day in the Sunday funnies.

The snow is already falling in Charles Schulz’s classic Peanuts.  For some reason, the final panel struck me as being particularly funny (which is rare since I rarely enjoy bird-centric jokes).  I also thought today’s strip was pretty funny (things you can’t teach an old dog, perhaps).

Yesterday’s Sunday-sized Frazz tackled an argument similar to the one about “celebrating Christmas all year long” but with Thanksgiving and birthdays at play.

And while there was no November snow in yesterday’s classic Calvin and Hobbes, there was still a potent chill in the air (a chill that still exists in our time).  The colors are beautifully stark.  The conversation is thoughtful and heavy.  The penultimate panel is wonderfully pensive.  And the final panel puts the perfect Calvin spin on things.
