For our final Walt Scott-themed post this year...
...here's a few Yuletide one-page features starring his Little People characters...that Scott himself neither wrote nor drew!
The first two pages were from the front and back inside covers of Dell's Four Color Comics: Walt Scott's the Little People #868 (1957), which were printed (as was the case with many comics) in black and white.
The last one was the comic's back cover, in full color, of course!
Unlike the two Walt Scott's Christmas Stories issues which Scott himself adapted from the newspaper comic strip into comic book format, the ten Little People issues were written and illustrated by Dell Comics' creatives, in this case, by artist Dan Gormley.

But we're not letting you go Scott-free (as it were)!
Here are the new painted covers Scott did for the two Four Color Comics Christmas Stories issues...
#959 (1958)
#1062 (1959-60)
Plus, the cover for the three-color promo brochure for NEA's 1957 Christmas strip...
...which was only seen by the art directors of NEA's client newspapers!
(We presented thst strip HERE!)
