And now a gallery of Fitz holiday cartoons

Because this Santa has gifts to wrap.

Why wouldn’t Santa want to stayover, here in our warm paradise? I wouldn’t be surprised if he owns a condo in Saddlebrooke. At 600-years of age he qualifies.

I drew this cartoon more than twenty-years ago when I was experimenting with different drawing styles ranging from the pointillism of the artist Drew Friedman to a Kliban-like greeting card style to the midcentury-modern Hanna Barbera manner I use now.

If I have to explain this one you haven’t lived in our desert long enough.

The paradox of Christmas with its crass commercial boosterism and its alleged spiritual message is an irresistable target for we inkslinging Grinches.

What cartoonist can let Christmas go by without drawing Santa at the North Pole? Especially when it’s shrinking, shrinking, shrinking…

---

More than one cartoon was inspired by daily life when my kids were small. The perfect angels.

I will probably run this every year because it’s one of my all time favorite holiday cartoons. The good thing about being a boomer is it won’t matter because I can barely remember what I published yesterday.

Happy Holidays!
