When you fold it, you get a narrower picture of half a house with
RRY
MAS
written on its roof.
I don't get it.

It's great to know that the original artwork still exists, and that Fantagraphics is taking this collection seriously enough to seek it out.

I've had mine on order for months.

That's awesome and perfectly illustrates (pun semi-intended) why Christmas is the Vegas of holidays, baby! Without the crass decadence and commercialism, Christmas just wouldn't be nearly as cool. All that religious crap just gets in the way.

And, no, I'm not joking. Now where's my Bing Christmas album?
