Coyote is indisposed for another week, but he reports back that Turkish prisons are surprisingly easy to escape from and that Mediterranean yachts are surprisingly easy to commandeer, so he’ll be back for wrapups next week.

This time around: sure it was Christmas, sure we were all busy, but the Sketch War train stops for no holiday! Well, okay, it does slow down a bit — this week we did a one-time only “sketch skirmish” of two-line scenes on the topic “Christmas Presents”.

• Coyote came up with “The Aftermath of the Magi”.
• Ken delivered political commentary.
• And I (Peter) talked about arachnids.

Stay tuned for next week, when we ring in the new year with sketches about resolutions!

As always, Sketch War is open to anyone who wants to participate. All you have to do this week is write a sketch about resolutions and contact us at sketchwar at dreamloom dot com.
