Lordy, this took a while to make its return.
This story (under the same title) had its genesis way back in the very late 1990s - perhaps even 1999, and is pretty much as you see here, albeit a page shorter, and with a different end-reveal. The original I Want To Spend My Xmas kicked off a sort of arc around a weird and unexplained beef between the Karkus and Santa Claus that ultimately ended the strip's run in Time-Space Visualiser. You'll see here that, as with The Sevillian Job (which had also been part of the Santa arc), tweaks have erased that storyline - or perhaps eased it off for now. I regret nothing, and the revision also gave me a chance to improve on the original, the artwork, and the story's pacing. I don't have the indulgence of my 1999 audience. hell, I hardly even have my 1999 audience - but I do most of this for me, anyway. I hope you enjoy it along the way, dear Reader.
And for those of you wondering if this starts a new, replacement story arc? Hmm...
