Christmas in Comfort happens the Saturday after Thanksgiving and has been happening for a long time … the downtown streets of Comfort, Texas are closed off and the place is full up with street vendors peddlin’ their crafts, wares and food followed by one of the largest nightime Christmas parades around.

The Cartoon Cowboy has made an effort to participate in the festivities (Lone Star Beer) every chance he gets.

Here are a few photos from yesterday’s event.

The Cartoon Cowboy and XMAS Elves

“The Cartoon Cowboy” with Christmas Elves – Steve and Karen

JP and Machete

… not sure, but this might have been “Machete”

… if you don’t get excited about street peddlers then you need to check your “fun thermometer” … 

JP and Rudolph

“MACHETE” … the street peddler did manage to wrangle a $10.00 bill from me for the purchase of this fine Rudolph hat … well worth the money …

… and “YES” … we can drink beer in the streets !

HELL !

This is Texas !

This was the one from 2013 …. “BAD SANTA”

Bad Santa to Post

… last year in 2013, my youngest daughter Ammeke and myself began decorating The Lone Star Beer Christmas Tree … so this year we made a page on Facebook for it (why wouldn’t we) … give us a “LIKE” if you don’t mind and if you are traveling between Comfort, Texas and Sisterdale, Texas stop and take a photo and post it on our page. THANKS, THANKS A LOT !

One reason I am glad I don’t wake up in the city.

THE CARTOON COWBOY …

On my side of the river …

(if this offends you, remember that I am a cartoonist that deals in satire and cynicism. In short it doesn’t really bother me that you are offended)

down the road outside of Langtry, Texas on The Rio Grande

… this is at Eagle’s Nest

MEXICO on the other side.

Ol’ Judge Roy Bean’s place was always a favorite place of my Dad’s … of course when he went there for the first time in the early 1950’s it wasn’t anything like it is today.

The State of Texas has stepped in and made everything around there real fancy …

Still a place I like to visit on occasion.

They say this place is 2 miles from water and 2 feet from HELL !

… I’ve never been big on creating graffiti, but I will sketch as few ‘toons if the opportunity arises …

This is an old abandoned motor court between Comstock and Langtry, Texas.

I can’t ever drive by this place without stopping.

I have had this hanging on the wall of “THE CARTOON SALOON” for many years.

Don’t remember how I cam by it, but it is purty accurate for sure.

PS: If you are not familiar with the word “Purty” than you damn sure ain’t from my part of the country.
