Here's another pre-Family Circus era Billy on Bil Keane's first syndicated comic strip, Channel Chuckles. I know the theme of the strip is television, but I think this one is kind of a stretch. Stockings are hung over the fireplace so that Santa will see them when he emerges from going down the chimney, so I'm not sure how he would miss them if they were hung in their proper place. Plus, while Santa is delivering all the toys, does he stop to watch TV as he eats his cookies with milk? If he's going to get to all the children around the world, I'm not sure how he has time for that. Elf magic allows for it, I guess.
