Again, there’s at LEAST two pages worth of speech bubbles jammed into the final version of this page.  Originally, I’d hoped to have every single page be a single big panel, so any time you see multiple panels like this, that’s pretty much a dead giveaway that you’re looking a heavily condensed version of the original draft.

Also, just as a reminder (or a tip to anybody just now tuning in), but it’s been established that the Far Out There universe has a massive Santa Claus organization involving numerous Santas flying sleighs to all planets.  I still haven’t quite figured out how to reference “The North Pole” if there’s multiple planets to keep in mind.  Maybe there’s a whole PLANET called The North Pole that’s situated above the galactic core or something?
