Always fun to see a Frank Beaven cartoon make it back to the SNP

I’ve got to go with #1 (from ’62) regarding the unassembled toys, and #5 down (from ’44) about the complete works of Charles Dickens. #3 down about sitting on Santa’s flask is wonderful too.

Having to take all that semi-abuse from these kids, then flying all around the world in one evening, is it any wonder he’d need to get a little soused on the sauce?!
