The Taekwondo Kid

August 15, 1966
It took me a second to realize that this guy is a Santa Claus. The "yo-ho-ho..." threw me off and the bad scan job. And is he holding a tambourine? Does this poor guy need money or is he just in the holiday spirit?

Santa Goodslob.

Wilberforce doesn't want to waste his summer learning martial arts when he just pays Hurricane Hattie $5 a month to be his bodyguard. He already wastes his weekend with his numerous sports teams. Wasting his Monday through Friday is a bridge too far.

Why do we do this "taekwondo" --> "taekwondon't" stuff? It's not taekwondoo, it's taekwondoh. It's like the old commercial "Sega does what Nintendon't." I get what you're doing, but it's wrong.
