       Synopsis: Another alternative Christmas story. Poor Randolph       has to dig out red christmas color with meat axe, and gets cop       after him.
       Comment: The whole consept of this story is ground breaking:       there is two columns of panels on every page. Left column's panels       run down with Randolph's parents' dialogue and panels on right       column run down with dialogue of Randolph's wife and daughter.       And same time Randolph (and cop) have normal left to right, running       down story to go. Brilliant. Corben's colors are dirty(!) and       very red.
