Bill Holman, author of the comic strip Smokey Stover, explained
the mysterious sign that often appeared in the strip.

Notary Sojac: "That's my phonetic spelling of the Gaelic
for Merry Christmas (the actual words are Nodlaig Soghach).
It occurred to me, why not wish my readers season's greetings
all through the year?"

Would someone confirm or deny Nodlaig Soghach, please?
