Here’s a Christmas-related tale of Harvey’s CASPER, THE FRIENDLY GHOST, probably by the character’s longtime artist Warren Kremer. CASPER was my earliest favorite comic book! The story is 1960′s “Kings of Toyland.”

Here’s another Toyland tale, this time “Teddy Bear in Toyland” from Dell’s SANTA CLAUS FUNNIES, probably by cartoonist and children’s book illustrator Mel Crawford.

The SANTA CLAUS FUNNIES issues often featured art by POGO’s daddy, Walt Kelly, as did other Dell holiday comics. Here’s a Christmas alphabet by Kelly from CHRISTMAS WITH MOTHER GOOSE.

And finally, let’s not get too far from Dell, Christmas and funny animal characters. Here’s theatrical cartoon superstar WOODY WOODPECKER with a holiday tale from NEW FUNNIES.
