The next best thing to a visit from St Nick has to be comics featuring the Jolly Old Elf.
And in my opinion — the best comics are from the Golden Age… take a look at some of the covers that I gleaned from Dell’s Christmas series after the holiday season.

My focus was usually on Super Hero comics. But I admit I read a lot of ARCHIE comics while growing up. It was before the TV cartoon of “The Archies” — which I thought pretty lame. The gags were lame, and the stories lame … but it was all about the comic babes — Betty and Veronica. Whoa — imagine reaching puberty in about 1967 or 68 —
I’d better yield the floor to our host RSS feed — before I really make an embarrassing revelation.

I’m not really a big fan of Nancy and Sluggo — although I read the strip every day in “The Topeka Capital” while growing up, and probably even bought a few comic books. I thought the art was of the Rubber Stamp School.
Later, I found out this was a spin off of a 1920’s strip staring Fritzi Ritz — later known as Nancy’s “Aunt Fritzi” who was a HOT flapper! I mean, she was more HBO than NBC, if you know what I mean.
I found these scans at Joyville and thought I’d share … the comments below are from the host web-site.
