Santa 'shrooms



Santa meets Alice and goes down the rabbit hole in this story from Dell's Santa Claus Funnies #2, 1943. It's a clever reworking of the familiar Lewis Carroll story.The unknown artist also used Sir John Tenniel's classic illustrations as the basis for the Wonderland characters.

It's tempting to throw in a reference to Jefferson Airplane, "White Rabbit," magic mushrooms, Summer of Love, dancing naked in the park, psychedelics, hallucinogens…but that would be cheap and of course at Pappy's we don't go for the cheap, do we? No, we don't. Just because this story got me to pull out my old vinyl copy of Surrealistic Pillow doesn't mean anything, and don't infer anything from it.
