20 - Letter to Santa

Ho ho ho! It's November 1st, the time when we flick the switch from the spooky season and go straight into Christmas! Luckily our chronological exploration of Barks' stories is just happening to land on the Duck Man's second full-length Christmas story, fan favorite "Letter to Santa." This memorable holiday tale features a money fight, the real Santa Claus, and the best steam shovel fight of all time! Join me and my extremely indulgent special guest (who is also my wife!) as we talk about childhood love of construction equipment and Christmas magic, artistic signifiers of the late 1940s, and what happens to beans when they get wet!
