I think Randie can still get some nice clothes for Harold. This time of year, the homeless orphans are pretty hungry and weak. A well-timed shove, a quick snatching of an article or two of clothing… shoot, spread it out among a dozen orphans and not only wouldn’t they be too much more cold and miserable than they already are, Harold would end up with a fine wardro… *WHACK!*
*OOF!! AARGH!!*
No! Bad Pete! Evil Pete! *THUD!* Back in your box! NO FRUITCAKE FOR YOU! *WUMP!*
There… sorry about that. Randie should keep up her spirits. I’m sure something nice will come along soon.
Sorry Pete. From what we’ve seen, Randie is incabable of being mean. Unthinking yeas, but not mean.
I can’t sympathize with Randie’s heater problem. Here in northern Illinois, todays predicted high is -2 C (that would be high 20s F). It is coldrr than what randie is used to, but “freezing”, hardly.
Sorry… that was the EVIL Pete who said that. He doesn’t read comics, but got out of his box and read this strip when I stepped away from my computer. I know Randi is far, far too nice to ever be mean.
NIT ALERT!
Brig, is Panel 2 worded right? Or should it read, “What else is new?”
That’s the novelist/editor in me peeking through. Sorry about that.
Pete
While “What else new?” technically requires a verb, it seems a counterpart to “Anything else new?”. Although techniqually incorrect a common usage,
I agree… Two eyes are better than one… but if you’re freezin’ to death… do you really care if you have another eye? Anyhoo, when I was little, I used to dress my teddy bear. I wasn’t big into dolls, but I dressed my stuffed toys. I think maybe Randie has the same ideas.

What do you mean “Poor Harold?” I’m ALWAYS naked for the New Year and nobody ever takes pity on me…
I think before buying him clothing Harold needs an eye first !
Harold already has an eye. Althoough he might appreciate getting a second one.

Thanks for visiting Squid Row, Ron!

Yah… I failed to let my editor look at it before it went up… but Randie does have a bit of “her own language” goin’ on.
Pete, I worry about you!
