PERCY: Why do all modern pictures of Santa's sleigh have RUDOLPH at the front?
Rudolph's a NON-CANON reindeer!
RUDOLPH: The "Rudolph" song is basically FAN-FICTION!
I GET that a red nose makes for a good TOY...but you can't just make willy-nilly ADDITIONS to Santa's OFFICIAL ROSTER!
MOTHER: The "official roster" was ITSELF just MADE UP by the author of "A Night Before Christmas."
PERCY: Really?
MOTHER: Really. Clement Moore invented the whole brood.
PERCY: Oh.
I thought they were in the BIBLE!

I wrote a little reminiscence on Patreon (free/unlocked) — including a first-since-then reprint of the photocomics I made at the time, documenting the trip!
