Who's been good?

[DanishReader]

Just noticed the evil-looking Santa and the terrified kids and the words "Who's been good?" Heh, love it! Was this King's idea?

Okay I give up!

My 4-year old spied the "bad Santa" several days ago, and now I'm on red-alert for her whenever I'm on the Board. Yikes!

PatInTheHat, that was a weird comment...I'm not stupid, but I'm from another country, so I don't know if the Bad Santa is common on American websites...I've just never seen it before, and it definitaly applies to King's humor...

DanishReader, maybe PatInTheHat hasn't seen/noticed the Bad Santa and scared kids..... if not, then your post would seem a little odd
I myself hadn't noticed the "Who's been good" though ... but that's funny and yes, very SK!

Pay no mind to PITH...

His knickers must be bunched or something....

I'm sure getting coal this year...

I took PITH's response as a joke, not as a malicious comment. The question is rhetorical and responding seriously is being facetious.

[DanishReader]

Oops, I see that now, and sorry, PITH, guess I made a too-hasty judment...didn't read it through properly and didn't really use my brain much...so it's a parody of the tradition with Santa's on websites, but who got the idea for it? Probably not King, even though the humor is like him...
