The Town Christmas Forgot Page #2

Yeah I saw Coleman

bring you here.

If anyone can fix it, he can.

He knows cars.

Anybody who knows Coleman

will tell you, he knows cars.

Guess he knows

cars, huh?

And men's hair.

I'm sorry, what?

Oh, Coleman's also

the town's barber.

Oh.

And if you're gonna

stay for a while,

we're having our Christmas

pageant on Christmas eve.

It's gonna be

a real hoot.

Oh, oh. Well, I think we're

gonna be gone by then.

Yeah, yeah.

Well you can buy some raffle

tickets, first prize is $50.

Okay.

Oh, uh, look at me.

You must think I'm pushy.

I'm sorry.

Oh, no, no.

I'm the pageant

coordinator,

trying to get everyone

into the Christmas spirit.

We haven't had a pageant around

here for almost five years now.

Town's had

a few bad years.

I guess that's obvious,

even to city folk.

So this year we're going

to have a real humdinger

of a pageant,

if it kills me.

Oh look, I have bent your ears long

enough, you folks take your time.

Boss is in.

Gotta look busy.

Sam, I thought I told ya. No

Christmas pageant this year.

Sam, I'm the Mayor of this

town and I can't have

a poster for a Christmas pageant

we can't afford in my cafe.

Our cafe, honeykins. You're

becoming old and grumpy. Like them.

Sam, this town's

almost done.

There's nothing left

in the kitty.

What about

Christmas?

Well, Christmas

is for other people.

I've got customers.

They're not grumpy.

Had enough?

Aw, yes, I think I'm filled up.

How 'bout you,

partner?

Yes, thank you.

Well, you're

welcome, cowboy.

You know, I'm sorry,

but I overheard.

Not everyone is so supportive

of the pageant, huh?

The Mayor was...

Ahh, you mean Jeremiah.

Yes, yes, he is the Mayor.

And my husband.

Oh, he's a good man.

It's just sometimes life

gives you some bad breaks.

But we're going to have

a Christmas pageant.

I've even got all the wives

in town buzzing about it.

We're gonna have

a talent show.

Mary-Lou Kinny's girl,

she plays the accordion,

and the high-school kids have got

together some sort of singing act.

There's even a gal who's

got two trained chickens.

And then, of course,

there's the dancers.

Dancers?

Yeah, that sounds

like a lot of fun.

Well it's not too late to stay over.

You can join in!

Anyone sing

or dance?

No, none of us no. We'll

probably be on our way.

Oh, hello Coleman, I'm just

looking after your guests.

Thank you very much,

Sam.

Great!

Um, how's it going?

Well, I brought

your SUV back

and it's gonna take four

hours or so to fix it.

Can't it be faster?

Four hours?

I might be able to shave off a

minute or two, but that's a pretty

fancy car you have. I've never

worked on one of those before,

but as all the folks around
