"Happy Holidaze and Other Tragedies of Life" is the second volume of cartoons from "There is Strangeness in the Universe (TM)." This book is not recommended for anyone who wants to continue in the belief that one tiny elf can circumnavigate the entire globe delivering gifts to almost two billion children in a single night using only carbon based organisms for propulsion. These cartoons are a light-hearted and satirical look at life. The cartoon series was conceived in response to a real astronomical theory that a parallel universe filled with strange matter must exist in order for our own to maintain cosmic balance.
