 :To directly answer the question, they may be 'more avoiding' the Sun right this moment, but their closest pass was all equally Earth-distant, due to coming from Earth.

 ::::::Yes last time DT was elected he made this jolly comic: [[1776: Reindeer]] :-D but then he made this New Year comic: [[1779: 2017]]. That he did not feel to celebrate at the moment is quite certain. But I do not think he or anyone else actually think that either side of the political field have priority over x-mas! So I really think he was so focused on the record that he took this instead. Still looking foward to Fridays comic to see if he might mention Christmas there. I do not think so, but if he did he would not break the 19 year with x-mas comics in a row streak. Only the one with not posting one on the 25th. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 13:35, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

 ::::Given the election of 47 (Randall's opinion of which can be guessed), and its dependence on, and promises to, those who call themselves "Christians", Randall's silence about the holiday can perhaps be understood, and maybe accepted as a better option than screaming. There <em>is</em> an awful lot of "la la la ..." going on in the USA during this transition season ... rather like in Berlin in the year 1933 CE.
