Christmas Comics That Make the Holiday Season More Jolly

Liz Climo strikes again with a perfectly awkward underwater moment. A narwhal excitedly points out the mistletoe situation, clearly ready to lean into festive tradition. The beluga, however, looks far less enthused—probably because “kissing” a friend whose face includes a giant spear feels like a hazardous seasonal activity.

The humor lands in that quiet pause of “uh…”—the universal sound of someone trying to avoid both injury and social discomfort. It’s a sweet reminder that even in the ocean, holiday traditions can get weird fast, especially when tusks are involved.
