And now for a completely different Christmas story - Tim Dorsey's When Elves Attack - A Joyous Christmas Greeting from the Criminal Nutbars of the Sunshine State (#133).
Serge A. Storms and his sidekick Coleman are back to celebrate the holidays in their own inimitable way. Since Christmas is a time for families, Serge decides he wants to spend the holiday near Jim Davenport, his ideal family man. There just happens to be a house for rent across the street from the Davenports on Triggerfish Lane in Tampa. Serge and Coleman don elf costumes to catch the criminals that Serge knows will be repeating the annual Florida holiday headlines. These elves can make the malls and parking lots safer places for the average shopper. They practice their own wacky form of justice, giving back to the criminals just what they deserve with a holiday flair (and applause from the neighbors!).
What could be more entertaining than Serge and Coleman's mayhem dressed up for Christmas? A few chuckles and a few "Atta boy, Serge!" moments lead to a suitably sentimental ending when Serge gets a Christmas surprise. If you're a Tim Dorsey fan (and even if you're not, but follow the news!) you're bound to recognize the annual stories we've already starting reading about or seeing on TV locally. Enjoy with a candy cane shiv!
