1999 Syndicate Christmas Card – FoxTrot
1997 Syndicate Christmas Card – Ziggy
A while back I found a treasure trove of Christmas cards that the syndicates send out each year on Ebay. Unfortunately the Calvin and Hobbes card and a few others went for sky high sums, but I was able to pick up some on the cheap, and I’ll be featuring them on the weekends this month. Today is Ziggy!

Christmas Cartoon Ideas
I’ve done this tiwce already this year for both Halloween and Thanksgiving, but I’m going to do it just once more for Christmas to A) give me something to look back on next year, B) to give you an idea of how I generate ideas, and C) to see if there’s anything I missed. So, here’s my list of ideas for generating Christmas gags:
- Santa – elves, Mrs. Claus, North Pole, sleigh, St. Nick, reindeer, sack of toys, chimney, stockings, plate of cookies, sitting on lap, roof, naughty/nice list
- candy canes, mistletoe, window decorations, wreathes, wrapping. gingerbread house
- 12 days, Christmas Carol, Scrooge, Grinch, carols/caroling
- snowmen – coal, carrots, melting, Frosty
- snow – plows, snowblowers, snow globes, snowballs
- ice – icicles, skating
- trees – stars, bulbs, lights, ornaments, tinsel
- up early, toys, shopping, sales
