Quips and Quotations (Holiday Hullabaloo Edition)











And I just wanted to point out that the trouble we had on the Santa Claus story was Bill Elder. He had put a sign on the sleigh of Santa Claus, “Just Divorced.” Now how do a bunch of iconoclastic, atheist bastards like us know that Santa Claus is a saint and that he can’t be divorced and that this is going to offend Boston?

--EC Comics publisher William Gaines, reminiscing about the time Panic, a knockoff of the comic book version of Mad (which EC also published) was banned in a certain town in Massachusetts.
