I know the feeling. Ma used to watch me and she never could figure out how I could be very deliberate in wrapping, and it still came out like I was under Novocaine and an earthquake. I got A’s in Art and Science, and I can’t make a Christmas or Birthday present look presentable.
Really nicely drawn comic!
There are a bunch of little tricks to doing good wrapping. Go and have a package wrapped by a professional and watch how they do it. Thats how I learned.
We save trees at our house. We have a collection of gift bags, gift boxes and bows that we trade back and forth every year. Not nearly so cheesy when you stop to think how over the years each box and bag has acquired a history of great memories of Xmases past.
Now, now, Shelly, your wrapping technique is not THAT bad.
I have the same problem, that’s why I went to gift cards and/or internet shopping for the holidays……
Just put a giantic dollar sign collar around your neck, wear a cap sideways and wear sunglasses in a dim lit room. Perhaps that will help you to w-rap

Brilliantly drawn.
Ok, that was cute. ^_^
Beautiful strip, Lindsey Jane! That’s the way *my* packages always look…
Yarg! I followed Paul’s lead on your name, without bothering to look at your URL… *blush* sorry!

Its OK Shelly, I can’t wrap gifts for sorry shit either; so MERRY CHRISTMAS…
why so glum that’s a perfectly wrapped chinese rice box?
someone needs to invent holiday print trash bags; make it easier on us who can’t wrap
