NOTE: On the off-chance I don’t get another Rut toon up before Christmas (and let’s be honest, given my track record of late, it’s rather unlikely) I would like to wish you all a Merry and safe Christmas. Here’s to a couple of weeks off work and drinking beer at ten in the morning! (Normally I wait until eleven)
Cheers
Phil

For the record William Tell used a crossbow, not a bow. Great comic anyway🙂

Yeah I know… but this isn’t William Tell. This is… erm… Frank Tell, William’s luddite brother who hated new advancements in bow technology.
Ok, so that’s not true, but does it make a difference that I got it right the first time?

Happy Christmas! Really enjoyed the Rut in 2008 and looking forward to more in the New Year.

haaaaa ha ha. It’s the look on the kid’s face in the second panel that makes this, once again: brilliant.
Merry Christmas, though surely the fat one in the red suit is ripe for a cartoon?

Thanks guys.
And Frank, I was planning to do one… but we’re rushing to finish some short scripts we’re working on before Christmas, and that’s eating up all my spare time! Not enough hours, I tells ya.

Have a great Christmas and New Year’s with 10 a.m. beers!
Waiting for all “the rut” paraphrenalia to arrive! … and looking forward to it for some weird reason.
William Tell was nothing without that overture.

Oh come on now we all know you start drinking at 9.00. Merry Christmas to you to.
I’d hate to have seen this if ‘Frank’ Tell was a pornstar…

Wow, i felt that where it hurts!
My husband is graduating from med school in June — going into Psychiatry! Any chance I could commission a custom Freud cartoon?

December 18th!!!!
What’s going on? Having a life or something? I’m thinking about buying a 2010 calendar at the moment and “The Rut” just ain’t producing. I may have to go with the “local schools while closed” calendar.

hehe I know I know! Very busy on “the other secret project” at the moment so the poor old Rut is gathering cobwebs. But that said, do check back from time to time, as this blog is by no means dead – it’s just in a deep coma. You can still talk to it, too… it can totally hear you. It just might take a little longer than normal to reply.🙂
