Holiday Reading Room WALT SCOTT'S CHRISTMAS STORIES "Jeremy Christmas"

Here's another one-off Christmas newspaper comic strip by Walt Scott...

...this one from 1951, as it appeared, reformatted by Scott himself, in Dell's Four Color Comics: Walt Scott's Christmas Stories #1062 (1959-1960).

Notes: the Little People in this tale aren't the regulars in Walt Scott's Little People newspaper strip, but one-shot characters in this story which is set in the same fictional universe.

Despite the numbering, this was the second (and last) of the reprint compilations of Scott's short-run Christmas newspaper strips.

Holiday Reading Room WALT SCOTT'S CHRISTMAS STORIES "Music Box Trio"

Walt Kelly wasn't the only "Walt" (besides Walt Disney) who created holiday-themed comic book stories for Dell Comics!

There was also Walt Scott, a newspaper comic strip writer/artist!

More about him after the story...

Scott was working as an assistant on the newspaper strip Captain Easy when he pitched a short-run Christmas strip (which were very popular from the early 1900s to the 1960s) featuring his own creations, Little People, in 1950.

The audience response to the strip led Walt to create a Sunday-only series based on the characters which debuted in 1952 and ran through 1969, when he died.
In addition, he continued to do an annual short-run Christmas strip, which formed the basis for Dell's annual Walt Scott's Christmas Stories anthology!
This particular feature from Dell's Four Color Comics: Walt Scott's Christmas Stories #1062 (1959-1960) was the 1957 Christmas strip, reformatted by Scott for comic books!
Trivia:
Except for the reprinting of newspaper strip material in Dell's comics in the 1950s, Scott's work has never been reprinted in book form!
Both Walt Scott and Walt Kelly worked for Walt Disney's studio early in their careers!
BTW, you'll be seeing more of Scott's work here during the Yuletide season!

Watch for it!

Friday Holiday Fun LITTLEST SNOWMAN RESCUES CHRISTMAS Part 1

No, he ain't Frosty the Snowman...

But this little guy was almost as popular in the 1950s, though, sadly, largely forgotten today!

To Be Continued...

Next Friday!

Written by the character's creator Charles Tazewell and illustrated by Mel Crawford, this never-reprinted tale from Dell's Four Color Comics #864 (1957) is an original tale, not an adaptation of a previously-published prose tale!

Friday Holiday Fun CHRISTMAS TREASURY "Christmas Carol"

Here's a "Reader's Digest" condensed version of Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol...

...in only 10 pages, illustrated by Mike Sekowsky and adapted from the novelette by an unknown scripter.

This was included in Dell's 100-page one-shot anthology, Christmas Treasury, published in 1954.

It included a wide range of material from a graphic story retelling of the birth of Jesus Christ, to a tale about Santa Claus, to actual Christmas carols (complete with sheet music), to Clement Clarke Moore's "Night Before Christmas", to features about "Christmas Around the World", to this Dickens story!
Usually, a comic adaptation of A Christmas Carol takes anywhere from 30 to 50 pages, like the Marvel Classics Comics version we presented HERE.
But this one is pretty concise, leaving out only a couple of details, and hitting all the major plot points!
