Don’t taunt a fat man with power. (1952)
This card might seem a gentle holiday offering, but if we dig deeper we find a disturbing drama. Examine Santa’s expression, for instance, it is not the face of a man who is about to enjoy a nice frothy Falstaff. It is the sullen mien of a man who is no longer allowed to drink. And note that he is walking away from the tree with a full bag of gifts. In the morning the family will absorb a powerful lesson: Don’t mess with the Man in the Red Suit.
