It&#8217;s our annual holiday spectacular! And once again we&#8217;re talking about old Christmas cartoons, because that&#8217;s all we care about. But this time, we&#8217;re looking at a couple of cartoons we&#8217;ve never discussed on the show before, and they&#8217;re both based on classic comic strips. (They&#8217;re also both on YouTube, if you want to play along.) From 1979, A Family Circus Christmas features a ghost Santa, a candy cane farm in the clouds, a busty mom, and plenty of crazy jazz flute. And from 1982, Ziggy&#8217;s Gift features the scrawny tree from Charlie Brown Christmas, the Irish cop from Frosty the Snowman, a creepy gray guy, and a million screaming turkeys. Both are magnificent. Also: A glitter bomb Christmas card from Panda! A Manos: The Hands of Fate Christmas card from Jacob! A lost Ziggy pencil sharpener! A lost TV show described as &#8220;Mission Impossible meets The Love Boat&#8221;! And the Mighty Morphin Figgy Pudding Pages! So please throw up the sash, turn with a jerk, and enjoy. #familycircus #familycircuschristmas #ziggy #ziggysgift #eso #esonetwork #geektalk #geekpodcast #geek #nerdtalk #nerd #nerdpodcast #podcast #flopcast</p> <p><strong><a href="https://flopcast.net/711.html">Episode 711 complete show notes and links at www.flopcast.net!</a></strong></p> <p>The post <a href="https://esonetwork.com/flopcast-711-everybody-knows-a-turkey/">Flopcast 711: Everybody Knows a Turkey</a> appeared first on <a href="https://esonetwork.com">The ESO Network</a>.</p>
