He didn't take the picture. Another member of his family did. He says so in the info section, but you can tell because the photo isn't an out of focus, low resolution mess.
I look forward to his trade paperback. Will you be using Lulu, Sweet?
 
As much as it may astound everyone in the thread, I'm going to defend a Sweet (a little). He wasn't saying he hangs around playgrounds. He was just saying that his nieces/nephews might repeat what they hear from him on the playground, and get in trouble, and he's afraid of the blowback onto him. I point this out cause I'm sure he'd seize on it as proof we're all progressive idiots.

I think we all know this. We're just giving him shit over a clumsily-worded sentence that could, by a very literal person, be interpreted to mean "he said this on a playground" and not the obvious meaning he was going for, "The kids will go to the playground, repeat something I said at Christmas dinner, and get in trouble for it." Writing is one of the many things that aren't his strong suit.

Also, if that's a "candid snap," I'm a sentient cobweb in Sweet's bedroom, poised to strangle him in the night. The recipe for that one is simple: Prop baby in corner. Put lights on baby, some of which are draped over his hand. Take picture very fast. Remove lights from baby, put baby in place it is okay for him to be... no profit, but this might even have been a spare copy of their Christmas card photo.

Yeah, I mean, it amazes me how utterly unappetizing he made a Christmas dinner sound. Like you could have replaced his plate of turkey, etc. with an unusually tall pile of Hot Pockets and he would have been just as happy.
 
Regardless I would be very uncomfortable with a man who refers to fourteen year old girls as "barely legal Bettie's" being around children of any age.

Well, really, just about any meal would be unappetizing with Sweet sitting nearby. You know, he talks about buffet-style dining three times a day, but more likely they just shut the commissary down as soon as Jon was finished filling his plate.
 
Energizer Bunny of Sentences dijo:
Between preparing the illustrations and a particularly scathing new foreword for the upcoming SweetTart trade paperback, penciling the last issues of the year, and spending Christmas with the family, to say nothing of mountains of holiday leftovers and three days of going in and out of a tryptophan-induced coma (it'll be a while before I can face down another turkey sandwich, let me tell you), it hasn't left me a lot of time to blog.
So he basically doodled illegible shit and is writing a hate-filled sobbing intro to a book that won't sell with a character whose name is based on candy he probably ruined his teeth with. He also was forced to tolerate hanging around his family rather than scream that his life was not a horrible failure even though it was. He also decided to use dictionary.com to sound smart by referencing the amino acid used to produce the sleeping chemicals serotonin and melatonin to refer to the large amount of turkey he ate.

So forgive the long silence, but I'm back.
Prepare for disappointment.
Is Jon a Genestealer Hybrid dijo:
The whole family got together for Christmas dinner at my brother's place but between stuffing our gobs with turkey, taters, and dressing and opening presents no one took any pics!
It's very illuminating that Jonny presents his eating habits as what his family does too. Most children have more manners than Jonny, and they also happen to be more intelligent. I'd also apply his diet being him projecting, but his family does tend towards being pretty chunky, so low greens would make sense.
Projection dijo:
And of course, what would Christmas be without A Christmas Story and little Ralphie Parker's bespectacled mug splashed ten million times across your screen every December? It's become so ubiquitous that by now my family can pretty much recite key scenes word-for-word.
Jon reveals that he sat his fat ass in front of his brother's nice TV the whole time, being a waste of flesh the whole trip. Plus I tend to remember more Christmas movies than that, so this must be a favorite for Jonny; probably since it takes place in the fucking 40's alongside the rest of his mindset.
Autism and Doubt dijo:
Naturally the "f-dash-dash-dash word" scene is so much better in high-def. The sheen on that big red bar of Lifebouy fairly pops. I told my little niece, when she saw Ralphie getting his mouth washed out with soap, that, yes, they actually did that to kids for cussing back in my day. She seemed surprised at this. Proof that it's always fun whenever a new generation discovers this perennial holiday classic.
I rather doubt Jonny boy was punished as a kid, mainly because his actions now disprove the fact his parents did more than enable him. That and he probably confused his TV with being his parents in this case.
Manchild dijo:
As another annual 24-hr marathon of the iconic film plays in the background, we scarf down the lovingly-prepared holiday meal and tear into the colorful wrapping paper on our presents.
I reckon his presents involved only children's shows and live footage of teenage girls from Disney to fap to.
Creepy dijo:
Later, with the bird's carcass picked, and the kids out playing with their toys, we watch Christmas With the Kardashians (with all those big attitudes, big hair, and big asses, I'm surprised none of those gals are Southern) and the first twenty minutes of Erin Brockovich.
Jon again admits he needs to be on a sex offenders registry.
lolwut the fuck dijo:
I expressed aloud my surprise that they're allowed to say "asshole" on basic cable now.
This is a manchild whose whole life is TV. How the fuck did he not catch onto this?
Selfish Monster dijo:
A moment later Easton's mom reported that he repeated the word right after he overheard me say it. I'm going to have to learn to be careful about swearing around the kids now. It wouldn't do to have one of them get in trouble for repeating a dirty joke that they heard from me on the school playground. I can't afford to be banned from the big holiday family feeds just for some of the shit I say.
I like that the only reason he's remotely bothered by the fact that the kid is using swearwords is because he doesn't want to be kicked out of the family celebration at his bro's house. And he only cares since his bro has a nicer TV with more channels and he can stuff his fat greedy face with food.

What a fucking monster of a human being.
 
Question- Is it just me or is turkey and stuffing a weird Christmas dinner? It sounds much more like Thanksgiving to me. It might be a regional thing and isn't a big deal but that sounded off to me.

No you're not wrong. Here in the Midwest Turkey and stuffing is pretty much Thanksgiving food.

It's sometimes a Christmas food (jokingly referred to as left-overs usually), but traditionally ham or goose is the most common type of Yule fare, with ham being the big favorite.

I don't know if it's a regional thing, but turkey with stuffing is a perfectly normal Christmas dinner for the fam.
 
My mother will make ham for Christmas, but my grandmother makes turkey (though that might be because it's the only meat she can cook... sorta.)

His perception of the holidays is truly baffling. Now, I enjoy A Christmas Story for a nostalgia factor and, well, it's done well enough to be enjoyed even today. It's not a masterpiece, but it's a perfectly harmless, entertaining holiday movie. That being said, yeah, there are plenty of other holiday films to watch and I won't bother listing them here. His focus is almost entirely on food that he manages to make sound disgusting, shiny wrapping paper (no mention of the actual gifts, oddly), and his love of being reprehensible. Typical Sweet stuff, I suppose.

Who wants to take bets on how many holiday visits it will take before he gets banned from his own brother's house?

Suspenders brother has a disgusted look on his face in that wedding photo when Johnny boy is next to him. I imagine Sweet's presence at Christmas is a reluctant act of charity and nothing more.
 
We often serve turkey for Christmas dinner, but just as often ham. This year we had pork loin, with sweet potatoes and marshmallows, asparagus and homemade rolls. It's completely normal to have turkey and stuffing for Christmas dinner around here. Turkey and stuffing is also a common Easter meal, but ham seems more popular.

Sweet doesn't write about getting out of the house often. I wonder if the trip to his brother's house was really special because he spends most of his time in his room, dreaming of things that will never happen.
 
"Naturally the "f-dash-dash-dash word" scene is so much better in high-def."

Hi-def TV? Pfft. You can keep it. It's a fad, nothing more than more left-wing cliff jumping progress. CRTs will always, always, always be superior this newer, "easier to use" technology.
